​

Early Life and Controversial Birth

King Rudolpho's birth on January 15, 1917, caused controversy among the nobles of Istria Friulana. His mother, Amelia Generosa, the only child of the royal line, was an unmarried noblewoman who refused to disclose the identity of his father. This unconventional situation ignited intrigue and speculation within the noble circles, casting a shadow of mystery over Rudolpho's parentage.

​

Occupation and Mother's Tragic Death

The course of King Rudolpho's life took a dramatic turn with the outbreak of World War II. Istria Friulana, his beloved homeland, became embroiled in the conflict as occupying forces sought to gain control. Tragically, it was the untimely death of his mother, Amelia Generosa, at the hands of the invading fascists that marked the beginning of the occupation. Her refusal to surrender the country she cherished led to her untimely demise, becoming a rallying cry for resistance.

​

Leadership and Resistance During WWII

The occupation of Istria Friulana fueled King Rudolpho's fervor for liberation and inspired him to lead rebel troops against the occupying Italian and German forces. Displaying unwavering determination, strategic brilliance, and a fierce commitment to his people, he became a symbol of resistance and hope during the darkest days of the war. Rudolpho's leadership and his ability to unite and inspire others played a crucial role in the eventual liberation of the region.

​

Meeting Marija and Marriage

Amid the chaos of war, King Rudolpho first encountered Marija, a fearless tank driver, who would later become his wife. Their paths intertwined on the battlefield, where their shared dedication and commitment to the cause forged a deep connection. It was during this tumultuous time that their love blossomed, and after the war, they married in a ceremony that symbolized the hope and new beginnings for Istria Friulana.

​

Family and Legacy

King Rudolpho and Queen Marija built a loving family, blessed with two sons, Prince Alessandro and Prince Matteo. The royal couple nurtured their children with love and a commitment to the ideals of justice and progress. Their children would go on to play significant roles in shaping the kingdom's future.

​

Abdication and Passing

In a surprising turn of events, Prince Alessandro, King Rudolpho's eldest son, made the heartfelt decision to abdicate from the line of succession in 1998. Driven by a profound spiritual calling, he chose to join the Catholic Church, dedicating his life to a higher calling and leaving behind the path of royalty.

​

On October 7, 2011, King Rudolpho passed away, leaving behind a legacy of courage, dedication, and devotion to his people. His unwavering leadership during the occupation, his commitment to the liberation of Istria Friulana, and his enduring love for his family will forever be remembered as symbols of strength and resilience.
