Cleotia of Bekinla

Cleotia of Bekinla (26 April 823-3 February 854) was Queen of Hsindra from 843 until 854, as the first wife of King Fabio III, as well as the mother of his successor, Minyaung IV. She was the daughter of Minyaung I of Bekinla and Ausabella of Laungshe. Through her succession, her son Minyaung IV became King of Bekinla.

Life
In order to seize Laungshe against the Eadien Empire, King Lucares of Bekinla allied with Hsindra and helped Queen Mother Enserina Mansatreste, to arrest the defecting nobles. A double marriage was engaged between the two countries - Lucares would marry Kurwana, sister of King Fabio III of Hsindra, and Fabio III will marry Lucares's sister Cleotia. However, with Bekinla's failure to seize Laungshe and the Empire gaining most of the area of Laungshe, Lucares accused Hsindra of not assisting him in time. In a fit of anger, Enserina Mansatreste rescinded the marriage of Lucares and Kurwana, and betrothed Kurwana to Mehtamen, Duke of Mohal. After Enserina's death, Fabio III reconciled with Lucares and offered to marry Cleotia, persuaded by Belfante d'Orauncis.

On 4 January 843, Cleotia arrived at Farisavy in Hsindra, where she was greeted by the Orauncis and his son, and on 1 February, the wedding was celebrated at Alburlasaque, Moranka. On the next 9 March, Cleotia was officially crowned Queen consort of Hsindra. Cleotia had no influence at court, but she had a good relationship with her husband. She was frail and sometimes delirious. During the first few years of their marriage, her failure to conceive caused some controversy, and when Hsindra and Bekinla were at odds, the king's most trusted adviser, Joao de Orauncis, advised him to divorce Cleotia, but Fabio disagreed.

On 15 June 849, the queen finally gave birth to the long-awaited son, the future Minyaung IV, named in honor of her father. The birth completely destroyed Cleotia's body. She became so weak that she could only lie in bed for most of the day. After that, she never gave birth to another child. Cleotia died on 3 February 854, and was buried in the Panon Temple. After her nephew Isacca II of Bekinla died in 877, her son Minyaung IV succeeded Bekinla to the throne, making Hsindra and Bekinla amalgamated.
