May 22, 1551 – Today, Antoine I de Vaudemont passed due to an illness . His 16 year old son, Rene III will secede him. Antoine may not have been the most gifted of rulers, but he oversaw significant expansion, including the introduction of several colonies in the Caribbean area. His short reign was still a good time for Lorraine.
We wish his heir well. Rene III is stepping into some big shoes. He has been elected Emperor, and we gain some authority.
