Helene Arleaux

Helene (Lyonine: Helene), full name; Helene Margareta Vitoria; born 25 February 1977, is the Duchess d'Avor.

Helene is the first child of two that Crown Prince Artus had with his wife Jenofa del Verdier. Helene was born during the reign of her great-grandfather the Hegezar HenriII and would be alive during her grandfather's subsequent reign which began just three days after her birth.

Helene was privately educated at both the primary and secondary level, going on to study Archaeology at the University of Madelsclaire in Odentia. At a dig site in Lyonia the Duchess met her husband Marcos and the couple currently have two children; Count Judar of Voix and Countess Isybelle of Maroux.

From a young age Duchess Helene had taken a keen interest in the history of the states that occupied the Empire's present borders. She's been known to travel the world taking part in archaeological digs and helping to piece together the tales of old. Throughout her time as a senior royal she has also been able to promote the humanities as a necessary staple in the curriculum in schools across the nation.

Early life
Helene was born on 25 February 1977 at the Paladar ne Flor during the reign of Hegezar Henri II of House Lyoelle, her great-grandfather. Helene was the first of two children of then first-in-line to the throne, Prince Artus. Helene's godparents were Duke Laurentius of Val-de-Lys and his wife Athene. Much of Helene's early life was spent with her father at their estate Rouenhorne, however the Duchess did visit a number of countries on overseas imperial visits.
