Tzar Henry IV
Fasta Benj
Killed:
Battle of Bath
Buried
Island of Iona

Tzar Henry ascended to the throne after the assassination of his father, Tzar Richard IV, however even before his coronation Dyelli Beybi had errupted into civil war. The Dyelli Beybian Civil War was mostly Henry's failed attempt to reconquer Dyelli Beybi.

While Henry's army from Fasta Benj had initial success at Sheffield, his land army and airforce were mauled beyond repair at the Battle of Bath, while the Navy was crippled at the Battle of Cyro. Henry himself was killed in this Battle and his remains were put on display outside Benjia House, the Headquarters of the Cheka. In a surprise move he was later buried on the Island of Iona in the River Djel, the Ancient burial place of Dyelli Beybi's Tzars.

As brutal as his father, Henry encouraged his troops to some of the most unimaginable war crimes, including the nailing of Dyellian children to the front of armoured vehicles. Many of Henry's Officers were subsequently hung after the surrender at Bath, however this did not appease many of the Dyellian soldiers. It was indeed veterans of Bath who were to later be responsible for the slaughter at Christchurch.
