History
Princess Snow White was born as the only child of King Filip of Germany and his first wife Queen Margaret in the snow white winter of 1531, hence her name. Her mother died while giving birth. In 1535, her father remarried to Grimhilde.

When her father died in 1542, her stepmother ruled as regent. According to the stories, her stepmother Queen Grimhilde grew mad with grief when her father died and even tried to kill Snow White in 1545, because of Snow White's stay in the Black Forest for several months and Grimhilde's dead body being found at the bottom of a large rock.

After her stepmothers death, Snow White was crowned queen at the tender age of 14. To strenghten her position she married King Florian and combined the two kingdoms.

It took ten years for them to get an child and twelve years to get an heir. Eventually, Queen Snow White birthed four children: Queen Snow White was able to marry her eldest three children off into succeful marriages. King Florian died in 1600 at age 71, leaving the kingdom to their son Filip. Queen Snow White died of influenza in 1612 at age 81.
