Prince Karl of Brunant

Karl of Brunant (1669-1715) was a Brunanter prince and consort of Hélène de Cettatie, Queen of Cettatie from 1712 to 1751. Karl was a militaryman for much of his life, as a Lieutenant and Captain, and in 1698 made the first permanent commander of the Royal Grenadiers.

Biography
Karl was the second son of Karl Van Draak and his wife, Isabella of Parma.

Despite the precarious health of his father, and the fact that his older brother, Martin had no surviving male sons by 1700, he refused to marry and threatened the Van Draak hold on the throne. Eventually, his brother would have one surviving son, Pieter, in 1701, and in 1706 was betrothed to Hélène de Vintimille, eventually marrying in 1709.
