His Imperial Majesty Ian II of House Goodworth (1576-1641) was tsar of The Valerian Empire for eleven months in 1615. He was the last illegitimate emperor to reign during The Age of Many Tsars, a virtual interregnum period. Although his reign was short, he did help set Magnus Valerius on the track for recovery after the devastation caused by the revolt of Rudolf IV.
