Biography

Born March 4th, 1840 in the royal residence in Laguria, he was the fifth child of Crown Prince Sijjiari, the later King, and thus the 6th in the line of ascension to the throne.

When a smallpox epidemic struck also the royal family in 1849, he was the only child who did not fall sick. His parents interpreted this as a divine sign, and through a special act of parliament, Hubri was made the Second Heir to the Throne, after his father.

At the age of 15, he was married to Princess Peiara Sapna of the Halani tribe in order to secure Baranxtu's grip on Halaora and Ziaha, which were still semi-independent states under Baranxtuan protection.

In 1860, the same year Baranxtu became a republic with a monarch as head of state, Hubri graduated from the University of Siragge where he had studied Nidajan linguistics.

Their son Sijjiari was born in 1861, and their daughter Harma was born in 1862.

After his father's death in 1867, Hubri ascended to the throne aged 27. He thus became the youngest king on the Baranxtuan throne so far ( Sijjiari I had been 70, Agglija had been 50, Queen Melumna had been 57 and King Sijjiari II/I had been 35]]
