Prince William of Sydalon (Guilhem Desiderius Jordanes Léon; born 22 October 1995) is a Sydalene royal, and second child of Desiderius, Prince of Petra and Princess Christina of Latium. He is thirteenth in line to the Sydalene throne.

Early life and education

William was born nearly a month premature on 22 October 1995 at St Marina's National Hospital in Mariana, Imbros, Latium, to parents Desiderius, Prince of Petra and Princess Christina of Latium. He is the couple's third eldest child. William was baptized on 19 June 1994 at Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre by Patriarch NAME of Sydalon. He was christened with the name "Guilhem Desiderius Jordanes Leon" and bestowed the title "Prince of Petra". His godparents are then Prince Samuel of Lyncanestria (family friend of his mother) and his wife Alys of Aldéon.

William was primarily raised in Ostracine with his siblings. His family also spent time at a private villa in Mariana, and an estate in Latium on the island of Imbros. He has stated that this upbringing has contributed to a close relationship with his siblings. At the time of his birth, William was fourth in line to the Sydalene throne, as the third child of the heir apparent.

William first attended formal schooling at the university level, after being educated by various private tutors throughout his youth. An anonymous, former private tutor once claimed that he was talented, "but focused on making jokes and neglected his lessons". He applied to domestic universities including the Royal University at Veii and Saint Philip's University, along with a number of foreign schools such as Castellum College, Imperial University of Lyncanestria, University of Haenna, Pontifical University of the Holy Trinity, and Saint Mary's University. He reportedly nearly enlisted in the military and enrolled at Academia Militaris Olympia in Latium, but at the last minute decided to enroll at Imperial University of Lyncanestria. He originally enrolled in an economics program, but later changed his focus to history and graduated after five years. While at IUL, William participated in the university's debate club, and intramural football, among other student activities. He recently graduated in spring 2017.

Personal life

William's parents were rumored to have a betrothal agreement in place for William and an unnamed member of the du Caeseti family. The agreement was first reported in 2014, after the agreement had been cancelled and inadvertently leaked to the press, with tabloids claiming there was a "serious rift" between the two families. This leak came following an announcement from the Royal family that William was dating a classmate at Imperial University of Lyncanestria

William speaks a number of languages, and is fluent in Sydalene and Latin. He holds varying competency in Audonian, and Arthuristan.

He enjoys playing many sports, including football and competitive polo. He is a supporter of Andalo Kalkara of Il Lega, and was often seen at AS Fleury CF matches during university.

Since 2018, he has been courting Maria of Onneria. The couple married in May 2020. Due to his wife's football career, William and Maria primarily reside in Onneria, South Ottonia, though they maintain an estate near Lampron, Sydalon. William has not yet been granted a peerage following his marriage, as is traditional for Sydalene princes. It is widely believed that this is due to his wife's status as heir to Onnerian princely titles.
