Monarch of Alderaan

"This ship carries the Crest of Alderaan! Is any of the Royal Family on board?"

- Darth Vader

The monarch of Alderaan was the king or queen reigning over the planet of Alderaan. He or she was chosen by and among the Noble Houses of Alderaan. Years before the capital city of Aldera was founded, the monarch was officially elected and anointed in the Elysium, a stone hall located in the Glarus Valley. The first monarch of Alderaan, King Darrus, belonged to the House of Alde. His successors included scions of the House of Panteer, the House of Ulgo and the House of Organa. The latter had remained the ruling dynasty for decades when Alderaan was destroyed by the Galactic Empire in 0 BBY.
