He was succeeded by his son Arkady Kristiyan Hristofor.

Early life and education
Martin Kristiyan Arkady u Mursya was born on the 11th May 1892 as the second child of King Mihalou II and Queen Smaragda. Martin's sister Irena Kassandra died stillborn.

On the 5th of November 1894, Martin's younger brother Hristofor Arkady Mihalou was born.

Adult life
On the 1st of august 1915, Martin married countess Kamenara u Ovchari.

Reign
Martin ascended the throne on the 15th of July 1922 at the age of 33 after the dead of his father. His 3 year old son Arkady Kristiyan Hristofor became the crownprince.

On the 4th of February 1943, a assassination attempt was made on Martin by welder Hermolaos Antonis. Martin was visiting the Brixivo Docks for the launch of his new vessel Saint Zotic. While inspecting some equipment used by the company, Hermolaos managed to get close with a nailgun to Martin and shot two one-inch nails into the king. He was hit in his liver and his shoulder, the latter just missing the right subclavian of the aorta. Harmolaos was arrested while Martin was rushed to the Brixivo State Hospital. Although reportedly losing his conscience twice due to severe blood loss and liver failure, he survived the attack and recovered with minimal permanent injury.

On the 19th of August 1952, a second assassination attempt was made on Martin. Sergeant Illov Kont, a new recruit of the Pazach royal guards placed a bomb under the desk in the office of the king. The bomb was set-up to detonate when the office chair would be pulled back. However, it was not Martin who pulled the chair back, but one of the assistants of the Council of State, Kaloyan Vaneus. While Kaloyan was killed by the blast, Martin was only hit by the fragmentation from the desktop. Although no official record is made public, it is reported that between 20 and 65 entered the kings body, likely being around 30. Although not being in serious danger from the explosion, the wounds would cause an inflammation and several infections.

After initial recovery, Martin picked up again his tasks as king a month later, although he refrained from public appearances for most of his last years. He skipped the observation of Kings Day of 1953, although he did appear for a short speech on the balcony of the royal palace in Pristanivesnis. In the last year of his life, he reportedly criticized Lusjki's Maltin Luga, which surprised many critics after the information was released 25 years after his death.

Death
Martin passed away on the 29th November 1955 at age 63 from the complications of an infection he obtained as a result of the second assassination attempt. After his death, a small memoir was published by his secretary Demi Michakaki which painted a different picture of the king than was known to the public. In the booklet, context was given for Martin's critique of minorities and sometimes offbeat remarks. The memoir is heavily criticized by both royalists and republicans, for either playing down or exaggerating his behaviour, and Demi had to go into hiding because of serious death threats he received. The royal house has made no acknowledgement of the booklet.

Legacy
During the majority of Martin's reign, the oldest currently operating party Katá-Vasiliko (Mursian: Anti-Royal) has been founded, with its profound anti-royal spear-point.
