France Frank Vrbar Presheren (originally spelt as Prešeren) was born in Vrba in a broken crib to a poor, hard-working farming family, with abusive dad. Despite Frank was a smart youngster, so smart in fact that in elementary school, he was written in the golden book at the age of 7, the youngest age possible and he wrote such good poems, the teacher's head blew off (not literally). After successfully completing his studies, he moved to Vienna to study a job of a lawyer. After completing the Viennese Faculty of Law through alcohol bribery of the teachers, he returned to Ljubljana where he worked as a lawyer and defended rapists from jail time and people who had different views than the King. During this time, he also had time to write songs, but since a lot of them sucked and had bigoted views, his writing hand was significantly guided by his friend and mentor, Matija Čop, a guy who Presheren never credited with helping. Jerk-as move, Frank. The Drunkard is the first Slovene who was able to compete with his contemporaries in Europe, where the romantic trend was ruling at the time and Frank, despite being a virgin, was quite good at it. He was also nicknamed as the Tallest Poet in Slovenia and Europe at the time, being around 6'7", although that was a lie made by Čop.
Later, he worked at his uncle's church, where he preached the Gospel and drank wine. Sometime later, he was unhappily in love with the rich Julia Primič aka Prince, who rejected and laughed at his drunken behind and her father would never approve of 'Dr. Justice' to be in relationship with her. When Frank tried to make moves towards Julia once while in town, her father beat Frank and left him bruised on the floor. Despite this, the Tallest Poet had the testicular fortitude to dedicate the Sonnetni venec (Sonata's wreath) poem and some other love poems to her, although they were only released when he died, as he feared the Princes' wrath. His best bud, Matija Čop, died one day when swimming in Ljubljana's river and France was not able to save him due to being too slow on the swam. Matija drowned in the river and Prešeren cried all night. Without the drunkard even realising it, his friends died one by one, and the Hapsburg empire removed his title as a poet for writing stuff they did not agree with. He would only regain this title once Slovenia would become it's own country, for the time being. In the last years of his life, he was a complete drunk and owed money to almost every saloon you can think off. He was also hopelessly in love, deeply paranoid and depressed.
His life took a brighter turn when he met Zala Dolenc, a friend whom he wanted as a gf, but she rejected him due to his love of alcohol being more prevalent than his love for her. The Drunk would then meet Ana Jelovšek and ask her to be his gf. Since Ana was underaged and easier to manipulate, she would agree to his terms (and conditions). France would bang her one night but have no children since he was sterile and would only have kids of Ana's previous relationship. This made Dr. Plum even more depressed.
Death[]
One gloomy day, France fell into the river in Kranj where he drowned, all drunk as a skunk and in debt to the saloon owners all around town. His death was quite similar to Janez Bibibip's death, one of his admirers.
