Born: 1521
Reign: 1550 - 1593
Cause of Death: Slain at The Battle of Switchback Hill (Aged 71)About: King Robert Koopa III was one of the greatest warrior kings that the Koopa Kingdom has ever had aswell as the last King of The House of Greystock. He was similar to his father in many ways, he was strong, brave and an effective leader. He had been training in combat since a young age and was greatly interested in the Koopa Kingdom's history. In his youth, he is said to have always wanted to be just like King Harold Koopa II. He made the Royal Sigil of the Koopa Kingdom the Fire Flower, which he gifted to his wife, Sussana Blackwater, on their wedding day. Robert was not interested in politics and prefered to live a more luxurious lifestyle. He loved tourneys and held more of them than any Koopa King in history. He was well loved by his people and many were happy under his rule. He would not reign without conflict however, as the cold and callous Lord of Snowfall Mountain, Lord Patrick Frostick raised an army against the king in 1559 when he was denied the hand of Lady Lily Eisenhower. This led to a terrible civil war known as The Forstick Rebellion. The war was very rough and many lives were lost, including Lord Edward Percival, but Robert was determined to defeat them and with the help of his grandfather in the Beanbean Kingdom, he was able to defeat the traitorous Lord Frostick. Although he had a claim to the Beanbean Throne, Robert would never sit the throne as his grandfather would give birth to a son just five years before his death in 1570. Robert III had a mostly peaceful reign after The Frostick Rebellion, however, he would suffer a very brutal death in 1593 when his distant cousin Prince Arthur Koopa II invaded the Koopa Kingdom with an army. Robert had his wife and children sent away to th Frosted Kingdom for their own safety and marched into battle against his loathsome cousin. He put up a good fight, but in the end, his army was overwhelmed, resulting in the deaths of most of his Royal Council members. He attempted to use The Power Star as a last resort, but unlike his father, he couldnt handle its incredible power. He was drained of all his energy and couldnt fight any longer. Arthur used this chance to strike him down and stabbed Robert in the chest several times, killing him. He and his men then dragged Robert's body back to Dark Vally where they had him buried under a tree near Castle Koopa.
