King Oscar III passes away

Oscar III, King of Strasland for 32 years has passed away at the age of 78. King Oscar was born in Strasland in 1937, but in 1940 he and his family left the country prior to the German invasion of the country. Upon their return to the country in 1948, the monarchy was reinstated by referendum. He succeeded his mother, Queen Chrstina in 1982. Despite some negative opinion over his political stance and more traditional and conservative views, he was a popular figure. He was succeeded by his eldest daughter Marianna as queen, now the third female monarch in Straslander history.
