Prince John, Duke of Aurunca (Vopiscus Claudius Anicius Iohannes Leo Andreas Silvanus; b. 2 June 1970) is a Latin prince. He is the son of Diana I Anicia and Leo X Claudius. He was created Duke of Aurunca prior to his marriage to Diana of Dakmoor in 1992. John is 15th in the line of succession to the Latin throne, at the time of his birth he was third.

Early life and education

John was born at Palatium Supranio, on 2 June 1970, as the fifth child of Diana I Anicia and Leo X Claudius. John has a twin sister, Joanna, who was born thirty minutes after him. He was baptized at Sancta Sapientia on 13 September 1970, by Patriarch of Alba Thomas Appuleius. His godparents are Duke Constantine Tarepius (his mother's brother-in-law); Agnes Pola (his father's mother). Born during his mother's reign, John was afforded the the honor of Purpurogenitus ("Born in the Purple"). He was named John for his great-grandfather John Anicius, Duke of Beroea.

Education

John's education was handled by a governess between the ages of five and eight. He was educated by private tutors until the age of 17, and unlike his older siblings did not attend school. John was said to have a love of reading according to one of his former tutors, who described his as a "calm, proper, and even keeled child...who enjoyed a good book more than anything else." John, his twin sister Joanna, and his younger sister, Princess Eirene, took music lessons in order to socialize with other children their age. John was noted to not take his studies seriously in a memoir released by a former tutor in 1999.

Marriage

John first met his future wife, Diana of Dakmoor, at a ball to celebrate his sister Princess Isadora's 15th birthday, in 1983. John and Gabrielle were rumored to begin courting soon after, and regularly exchanged letters. The courtship was later confirmed by Imperial Offices in 1989. Alexandra became engaged soon after on 20 August 1990.

In 1992, John married Diana of Dakmoor at Basilica of the Blessed Virgin, in Adrianople. He and Gabrielle have five children: Marina, Lucius, Titania, Adriana, and Amadeus.
