The present High King of the Resurgent Dream, Owain ap Cunedda, is the first to be recognized as Head of the Commonwealth in the ten member states which make up the newly emergent Commonwealth of Peoples. These include two Commonwealth republics, two monarchies under another dynasty and six member states where the monarch is chief of state independently of his role as Head of the Commonwealth.
Position
The role of the Head of the Commonwealth is similar to that of a ceremonial president for life. The Head of the Commonwealth is also the President of the Commonwealth Council of State and has no Commonwealth-wide official coercive powers in his own right. He is instead the symbol of the free association of the Commonwealth members and carries the dignity of that association in his own person. The position is officially tied to the Danaan Crown and when High King Owain dies it will pass to his heir.
