| - Angelina I (Alexis Emily Charlotte; April 21, 1935–October 17, 2005) was the fifth queen of the Kingdom of Sierra and third queen of Alaska who ruled from September 9, 1991 until her death on October 17, 2005. She was also queen of two other countries within the Columbia Realms: Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. She was part of the Jacobite line of succession, and traced her direct lineage back to James II of England, the last Catholic Stuart monarch, and the head of the House of Columbia (the modern continuation of the Stuarts) during her reign. Among Jacobites, Angelina I was known as Alexis of Albany and was the fourth overall Sierran pretender to the English, Scottish, and Irish thrones. In accordance to modern Sierran tradition, she was given the Chinese era name, Hù Xi (護息), and the period during her reign is officially known as the Huxi period. Angelina was the only daughter of Robert, Prince of Mojave, the eldest son of King Lewis II and Queen Maylene. When she was 10 in 1945, her grandfather died in an automobile accident shortly after the end of World War II. Following this, her father, the Prince of Mojave, inherited the throne and became King Lewis III. As a young princess, Angelina was educated at the Saint Vibiana Priory School in Porciúncula, and later Santa Monica High School in Santa Monica. After she completed her secondary education, she attended Mulholland University to study political science and economics. Angelina received military training from the university's Royal Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps, and transferred to the Royal Air Force Academy in Oxnard in 1957. Angelina served in the Women's Royal Air Force Adjunct Division on a two year-long service which integrated studies with military training. She attained the rank of Junior Commander upon her completion and honorary discharge from the force. In 1959, she married Prince Adam of Mariana, with whom she had three children: Smith II; George, Prince of San Diego; and Madeline, Princess Royal. During her father's reign, she taught political science at the University of Gold Coast, Porciúncula as a full-time professor, and served on the University of Sierra Board of Regents as a committee member. In 1972, she became the new heir apparent after Lewis III stripped her older brother, Charles, of his titles and rights over his involvement in an embezzlement scandal and an extramarital affair. Through an Act of Parliament which altered primogeniture from male-preference cognatic to absolute, Angelina became the first Duchess of Newark, signifying her right and status as the Crown Princess, and future heiress to the throne. Following Lewis III's death, Angelina became queen in 1991 at the age of 56, the oldest Sierran monarch to ascend the throne. She inherited the kingdom at the end of the Cold War and saw prolonged economic growth and relative political tranquility during the first half of her reign. Compared to her predecessors, she initially played a more passive role as monarch, and ruled under the auspices of her ministers and Parliament. Although she had taught for years as a political science professor, she seldom expressed her views as monarch, and preferred to stay silent on many of the nation's most jarring political issues. Following the September 11 attacks in 2001 however, she became more vocal as a sovereign and expressed deep concern for national security. Angelina was among the few national figures who openly opposed Sierran military intervention in Iraq and was criticized for it, and rigorously backed humanitarian projects in light of the war. A prolific smoker, Angelina was beleaguered with health problems towards the end of her life. Her husband, who died in 1999 to lung cancer, had also been a heavy smoker. Angelina revealed that she herself had lung cancer in 2002 and despite intensive treatment, succumbed to the disease in 2005. Dying at the age of 70, her reign was a mere 14 years (although her reign lasted 15 Chinese era years), making her the shortest-reigning monarch in Sierran history (excluding her currently reigning granddaughter, Angelina II). In comparison, her grandfather, Lewis II, who died in a car accident, reigned two years longer. Angelina was succeeded by her eldest son, Smith II.
