William VII & I (Guilhem Sébastien Emmanuel Jordanes; 1 June 1910 – 15 March 1972) was King of Garza and Prince of Ascalzar from 1944 until 1972, and King of Sydalon from 1944 until he was overthrown in 1948.

William was the eldest child of Queen Emmanuelle I and Sebastián Ordaz, Prince Consort. He was made Prince of Petra and heir apparent to the Sydalene throne upon his birth, and Crown Prince of Garza in 1925 upon his mother's ascension to the Garzan throne. William was known for his meek nature at court, though he joined the military in 1928. In 1940, he married Basilia of Adrianople, whom he was known to be fiercely in support of throughout her various disputes with close relatives, courtiers, the Church, and government officials. William served as Viceroy of Garza from 1935 to 1944, and was open about his preference for life in Garza over Sydalon.

He became King of Garza and King of Sydalon following his mother's death on 29 February 1944. Almost immediately, Parliament, and the Sydalene Council of Ministers grew concerned for his lack of pro-war attitude against Yisrael, his general pacifist overtures, and open preference for ruling from Garza. William's relationship with his Council of Ministers and Chancellor Edward Pinsonneau, Lord Pinsonneau continued to deteriorate over the next year. By 1947, there were reports that William was largely excluded from briefings on cabinet minutes by his younger sister Elissa, Duchess of Toron, who served as Viceroy of Sydalon.

In 1948, the Yisraeli offensive and invasion of Sydalene-occupied Yarden marked the end of the Long Pause, prompting fears of further Yisraeli incursions into Sydalon. On 19 April 1948, a coup was launched against William in Sydalon, resulting in the Sydalene Council of Ministers forcing his abdication and placing his sister Elissa on the Sydalene throne. In 1950, there were reports that the coup elicited support in Garza to replace William as King of Garza with his younger brother Rainier I, Duke of Ramitha, but ultimately failed.

William continued to reign as King of Garza until his death.
