Sabiná III

Sabiná III (Sabiná Pèllicerre; 2 Quatíerrsant 1646 – 23 Êlessânde 1679) was a monarch of the House of Pèllicerre, who reigned as the Grand Duchess of Côrsiggé from 14 Fréborânde 1672 until her exile on 8 Quatíerrsant 1679, also becoming Empress Consort of the Chaumentaine upon her marriage to Êlessandré IX in 1671, a title which she held until the disempowerment of the Chaumentaine monarchy on 10 Hâeatùrre 1678.

Marriage to Êlessandré IX
Sabiná and Êlessandré IX were arranged to be married in 1671, after Vauçuelín II fell ill to rubella. Only two weeks after the arrangement, Sabiná's father, Gùeffo II, was assassinated by a member of a rival Côrsiggéan family, the Bárbalùncios. The Council of Forty-Two would decide the next Pèllicerre to rule, in order to solve the interregnum. The Council resolved that Sabiná would remain in Côrsiggé until a new heir was determined. Thus, a proxy marriage was arranged in Côrsiggé, where Sabiná’s uncle, Dúcha Tuliàno Pèllicerre, stood in for the emperor of Chaumentais. After her marriage, she lost the title of Duchess.

Ascension & Subsequent Exile
The Council of Forty-Two chose Ceperano Pèllicerre, a cousin of Sabiná and a well-known Chaumentaine sympathizer, his daughters being married to various Chaumentaine nobility. The Bárbalùncios were angered by the Council's decision due to his interests. The family organized a revolt, led by Eutàlié Sannse, Sabiná’s most senior advisor, and Igène Martìne, the popular author of the radical treatise, An Index of the Noble Affairs Côrsiggéan.

At first, Bárbalùncio involvement was only known by members of the family themselves. Once family patriarch Gìanvencó Bárbalùncio publicly acknowledged and supported the treatise, Bárbalùncio involvement became clear, the revolt gained wider support from the public. It was too dangerous for Sabiná to remain at Aggachià. A Côrsiggéan scholar later discovered that Êlessandré privately supported the dissenters that caused Sabiná to flee the capital. The emperor could not produce a legitimate heir if his wife were not present in Chaumentais. Sabiná first refused to leave her Côrsiggéan home, disregarding the many written threats that had been sent to the Palaiçoque Dèggùeffo.

On the celebration of Icarí, Sabiná drank twelve glasses of wine. She began to feel ill. One of the glasses had been poisoned by her servant. She was convinced to leave Côrsiggé afterwards.

Death
The queen decided to live in exile, along with eight constant maids-in-waiting, on the small isle of Bresichíari, which was owned by the Pèllicerre family. Despite the efforts of Côrsiggéan doctors, her illness failed to improve. She died on 23 Êlessânde 1679.
