Angelica Sazon

Angelica Sazon (nee Carranzas) is the former Duchess of Iza and the matriarch of House Sazon. She grew up in Iza as the heiress of House Carranzas, one of the three noble families that historically alternated rule of the city-state prior to its incorporation into Brenas in 1810. She attended Iza University, where she met future Duke of Iza Lucas Sazon; the two were married in 1921. It is rumored that between 1921-1926, the pair bankrolled a number of anti-monarchist institutions, including the underground publication Voice of Rizia and and several grassroots political movements advocating for constitutional reform. Their clandestine support extended to hosting covert meetings with Arcasian intellectuals in the privacy of their estate, further fueling speculation about their allegiance and political aspirations. While the full extent of the couple’s role in the Uprising of 1926 was never proven, it is believed that they leveraged their considerable influence and resources to orchestrate some of the uprising's key operations, including the kidnapping of royal heir Romus Toras. After Toras’ rescue and the Wehlen-aided restoration of the monarchy, the pair briefly went into hiding until Angelica agreed to turn over Lucas to the central authorities in exchange for a stay of execution for herself and her unborn child. Since 1927, she has lived in exile on the island of Caleqabiz.
