History and Biography

Early Life

De Remuva was born in 1643 to Roy Rafaël Roméo Robin-Ron de Remuva, Marquis de Remuva, a royal capitan of the infantry, and Roanna-Rosabella Rosie Rina Rhé de La Roche, at the Château de Rêves, in Remuva, in the County of Rochefort. De Remvua's great grandfather, Redouane Robert Richard Ruddy Réo de Remuva, reportedly fought bravely in the triumphant Battle of the Seven Women Generals during the War of Eight Women Generals that the fief Remuva was raised to a marquisate by Letters Patent in 1562.

De Remuva rose quickly through the royal military and civil service, in part owing to their father's patronage but also due to their own innate ability. At the age of 23, De Remuva transferred to the Royal Aréolean Navy where they learned to navigate, draw, make nautical charts, and write practical reports. After three years of service, de Remuva had developed an interest in commercial and maritime enterprises. During the start of their independent merchant journeys, de Remuva met and married R. R. R. Risoue de Rutbert, Dame de Rutbert, having twins in 1669. By 1669 they now owned 3 vessels and were regularly engaged in trading and fishing all over the western coast of Meridia. Through connections with fishermen, de Remuva had learned of a rumoured archipelago that laid far beyond the western ocean. In 1670, they organized an expedition to reach the rumoured archipelago.
