In addition to his title of Hereditary Prince of Montgisard, Gabriel bears the historical titles of Marquis of Destroit, and Lord of XXXX, in addition to Duke of Amblat.
==Early life and education==
Gabriel was born on Christmas Day, 1996 at Eallasse Palace, in Destroit, [[Montgisard]], the first born child of [[Arthur, Duke of Amblat]] and [[Ascalzar|Ascalene]] noblewoman [[María del Rocío González]]. He has one sister, [[Ines of Montgisard|Ines]], born in 2000. His father, Arthur, was the second eldest son of the reigning Prince of Montgisard, [[Joscelin V, Prince of Montgisard|Joscelin V]]. Gabriel was baptized at St John's Basilica, in [[Sydalon (city)|Sydalon]], by [[Pope of the Fabrian Catholic Church|Pope Benedict VIII]], with water from the [[Yarden River|Cultivida River]]. His godparents are [[Catalina González]] (his materal aunt); X; [[Alice, Queen of Gaemar]] (his paternal aunt); and [[Garlan, King of Gaemar]] (Alice's husband). He was named Gabriel after his great-great-grandfather [[Gabriel, Lord of Villahermosa]]. His full baptismal name is Gabriel Zidore Louis Joscelin.

At his birth, Gabriel was third in the line of succession to the [[Prince of Montgisard#Succession|Montgisene throne]], after his uncle, Ambroise, and father, Arthur. He was invested as a Prince of Montgisard from birth, and was heir to his father's title, Duke of Amblat, an [[wikipedia:Appanage|appanage]]. 

In 2008, Gabriel's father Arthur died when the plane he was piloting crashed, whereupon Gabriel became Duke of Amblat. Gabriel gave the eulogy at his father's funeral.
===Education===
Gabriel was educated locally in Montgisard by private tutors for his early education. He went on to attend X, later enrolling at Lyceu ta'Aradia, in [[Ostracine]], for prep school. While at Lyceu ta'Aradia, Gabriel was classmates of other prominent Sydalene nobles and royalty, including [[Prince Roletus of Petra]] and XXXX. He earned his [[wikipedia:Baccalauréat|baccalauréat]] from the Aradia in 2013.

In fall 2013, Gabriel enrolled at [[Imperial Naval College at Pola]], in [[Latium]], for his university education and military officer training. He was enrolled as <nowiki>"Cadet Amblat"</nowiki>. While at Pola, he studied [[wikipedia:Politics, Philosophy, and Economics|Politics, Philosophy, and Economics]] and took part in military training exercises. He participated on the school's club [[wikipedia:polo|polo]] team throughout his education at Pola. He was an avid attendant of political clubs across political spectrum, including the [[United Latium|Young Conservatives]], [[Progressive Party of Latium|Future of Progress]], and XXXX. In 2016, he took classes as a guest student at XXXX. In 2016, he participated in the [[Trireme#Annual Pola vs Senturium Match|Annual Pola–Senturium Trireme Match]]. He graduated in 2016.
==As heir apparent==
In 2013, his uncle Ambroise died during the [[2013 Elissa IV bridge bombing|Elissa IV bridge bombing]], perpetrated by the [[List of designated terrorist organizations in Ajax|Alliance for New Judea]]. This resulted in Gabriel succeeding Ambroise as heir apparent and Hereditary Prince, due to Montgisene male-only succession laws. As part of his duties as Hereditary Prince, Gabriel began to represent his grandfather Joscelin V at royal court in [[Ostracine]].

==Personal ife==
Gabriel is said to be protective of his privacy among court insiders in [[Ostracine]] and as a result little is known of his personality aside from a handful of interests. He is a [[wikipedia:football|football]] fan, and regularly plays polo – since 2015, he has participated in a charitable polo match sponsored by now [[Constantine XX of Latium|Latin Emperor Constantine XX]]. 
===Courtships and marriage===
His first reported courtship briefly reached headlines in [[Sydalon]] when he was believed to be courting then [[Melisende III of Sydalon|Melisende, Princess of Petra]] in summer 2017. Rumors of the courtship ending began to arise in December 2017.

In 2018, the spokespersons from the Prince of Montgisard and [[House of Aultavilla|Royal Household]] announced that Gabriel and [[Princess Emilia of Sydalon]] were engaged. They were married in 2019, at Sephory Castle, in Montgisard. Currently he and Emilia reside in Ostracine.
