'''Joanus X de Martigueux''' (born ''Joanus Maria Guillaume Falco de Martigueux''; 22 March 1897 – 22 October 1982) was [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] from 15 October 1920 – 22 October 1982. His reign of 62 years and 7 days is the longest of any [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] and spanned the latter half of the [[Great Depression]], the entirety of the [[Great War]] and much of the [[Occidental Cold War]]. Prior to his ascension to [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Duke]], Joanus X was styled as Joanus XI de Martigueux, [[Count of Collinebourg]] since the death of his father, [[Guillaume VI de Martigueux, Count of Collinebourg]]. | '''Joanus X de Martigueux''' (born ''Joanus Maria Guillaume Falco de Martigueux''; 22 March 1897 – 22 October 1982) was [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] from 15 October 1920 – 22 October 1982.

Although his election to [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Duke]] in 1920 over the more experienced [[Hubert V, Count of Donne]] surprised many, the young Joanus X quickly established himself as a competent ruler and is remembered as one of the most popular, ambitious, and proactive [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Dukes of Yonderre]], having initiated many reforms and projects to steer his nation out of the [[Great Depression]] and clear of the [[Great War]]. His early rule has been described as authoritarian in nature and he strongly stressed the importance of ducal dignity and power. Joanus X is noted for his use of executive powers, a notable example being in 1928 when he dismissed the democratically elected [[Social Democrats (Yonderre)|Social Democratic]] cabinet with which he disagreed and installing one of his own choosing. Joanus X's rule after the [[Great War]] is marked by a more liberal approach, starting the long reforming process towards a nationalised social healthcare service and social security network. | Although his election to [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Duke]] in 1920 over the more experienced [[Hubert V, Count of Donne]] surprised many, the young Joanus X quickly established himself as a competent ruler and is remembered as one of the most popular, ambitious, and proactive [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Dukes of Yonderre]], having initiated many reforms and projects to steer his nation out of the [[Great Depression]] and clear of the [[Second Great War]].

Joanus X de Martigueux was born in [[Collinebourg Palace]] as Joanus Maria Guillaume Falco de Martigueux on March 22, 1897, as the eldest son of [[Guillaume VI de Martigueux, Count of Collinebourg]] (1867 – 1918) and his wife Countess Carolina (1876 – 1963). Joanus attended the [[Sainte-Catherine Military Academy]] in [[Kubagne]] from 1915-1917, afterwich he served with the [[Guard Cuirassier Division]]. His father Guillaume VI had been narrowly snubbed of the title of [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] by [[Joanus IX de Somua]] in 1895 which doctors believe caused his heart attack the same year and severely damaged his health, ultimately leading to his early death in 1918, aged 50. Joanus X thus became [[Count of Collinebourg]] aged 21 and retired from the Guard Cuirassiers shortly after. He married [[Lucia Dynan, Grand Duchess of Yonderre|Lucia Dynan]] later the same year, a [[Urcea|Urcean]] daughter of the prominent [[Dynan]] family. | Joanus X de Martigueux was born in [[Collinebourg Palace]] as Joanus Maria Guillaume Falco de Martigueux on March 22, 1897, as the eldest son of [[Guillaume VI de Martigueux, Count of Collinebourg]] (1867 – 1918) and his wife Countess Carolina (1876 – 1963).
