Luca Brunelli was a 20th century Mansillian ultranationalist politician, self-stylized populist, war hero, and junta leader who overthrew the Ferera Dynasty in 1937 and established the modern Mansillian government. Before becoming the de facto leader of Mansilla following the coup, Brunelli was a respected Field Marshal in the court of Stephano X, a position he exploited extensively for political clout and the organizing of revolutionaries. After serving as the functional ruler of Mansilla for more than three decades, Brunelli was assassinated by socialist partisans while driving to a royal function in 1960.
