'''Jordan IX''' (''Jordanes Guy Tancred Rainier Xavier''; 29 June 1939 – 10 September 2017) was the [[Monarchy of Sydalon|King of Sydalon]] from 1975 until his death in 2017.  
'''Jordan IX''' (''Jordanes Guy Tancred Rainier Xavier''; 29 June 1939 – 10 September 2017) was the [[Monarchy of Sydalon|King of Sydalon]] from 1975 until his death in 2017.  


Jordan was the eldest child and son of [[Elissa IV of Sydalon|Queen Elissa IV]] and her husband, [[Tancred, Prince Consort|Tancred of Toron]]. He was born during the reign of his grandmother, [[Emmanuelle I of Sydalon|Queen Emmanuelle I]]. At the time of his birth, Jordan was not in the immediate line of succession, as his uncle the future [[William VII of Sydalon|King William VII]] was the heir apparent and Jordan's mother only second in line. He was 5 years old when his grandmother Queen Emmanuelle I died, and 9 years old when his uncle William VII abdicated and Jordan became heir. Jordan joined in the military, similar to most members of the royal family, and was educated at [[Academia Militaris Olympia]], in [[Latium]]. In 1962, Jordan married [[Melisende of Philipopolis]] and they had four children: [[Desiderius, Prince of Petra|Desiderius]], [[Princess Jordana, Duchess of Montjoie|Jordana]], [[Prince Tancred, Duke of Rema|Tancred]], and [[Princess Sibylla, Countess of Birkara|Sibylla‎‎]]. In 1986, his wife Melisende died. In 1997, Jordan was rumored to have a mistress, later revealed to be [[Lyncanestria|Lyncanestrian]] socialite [[Héloïse Baudelaire]], with whom he had an illegitimate child in 1997. He and Baudelaire married in 1999, and had two children: [[Prince Alfonse of Sydalon|Alfonse]], and [[Princess Emilia of Sydalon|Emilia]].

In 1986, his wife Melisende died. In 1997, Jordan was rumored to have a mistress, later revealed to be [[Lyncanestria|Lyncanestrian]]-socialite [[Héloïse Baudelaire]], with whom he had an illegitimate child in 1997. He and Baudelaire married in 1999, and had two children: [[Prince Alfonse of Sydalon|Alfonse]], and [[Princess Emilia of Sydalon|Emilia]].


Jordan became king at the age of 36, after the assassination of his mother in 1975. As king, Jordan was regarded as a more center-leaning ruler as compared to his mother's conservative and hardline Catholic policies. Along with bringing Sydalon into compliance with the [[Yarden Accords]], Jordan lifted the remaining restrictions on non-Christians, including allowing entrance into the holy city of [[Kerkouane]], and ending incentive-based conversion policies. However, Jordan was often criticized abroad and by human rights groups for his slow move to order a prohibition on the [[Order of the Holy Lance|Order of the Holy Lance's]] persecution of non-Christians that was often ignored under his mother's reign. His reign was relatively peaceful when compared with previous Sydalene monarchs, and has been noted for the economic growth and moves to diversify the Sydalene economy.

Jordan was plagued with numerous health concerns after falling from horseback in 1993, and reportedly suffered from seizures thereafter. In 2013, Jordan was diagnosed with dementia and his reign entered into a regency, originally led by his eldest child and heir, [[Desiderius, Prince of Petra]], though he would step down in 2013 after his own health concerns in favor of [[Héloïse Baudelaire|Queen Héloïse]]. Jordan passed away on 10 September 2017 after suffering from a stroke.

Jordan IX (Jordanes Guy Tancred Rainier Xavier; 29 June 1939 – 10 September 2017) was the King of Sydalon from 1975 until his death in 2017.

Jordan was the eldest child and son of Queen Elissa IV and her husband, Tancred of Toron. He was born during the reign of his grandmother, Queen Emmanuelle I. At the time of his birth, Jordan was not in the immediate line of succession, as his uncle the future King William VII was the heir apparent and Jordan's mother only second in line. He was 5 years old when his grandmother Queen Emmanuelle I died, and 9 years old when his uncle William VII abdicated and Jordan became heir. Jordan joined in the military, similar to most members of the royal family, and was educated at Academia Militaris Olympia, in Latium. In 1962, Jordan married Melisende of Philipopolis and they had four children: Desiderius, Jordana, Francis, and Sibylla‎‎. In 1986, his wife Melisende died. In 1997, Jordan was rumored to have a mistress, later revealed to be Lyncanestrian-socialite Héloïse Baudelaire, with whom he had an illegitimate child in 1997. He and Baudelaire married in 1999, and had two children: Alfonse, and Emilia.

Jordan became king at the age of 36, after the assassination of his mother in 1975. As king, Jordan was regarded as a more center-leaning ruler as compared to his mother's conservative and hard-line Catholic policies. Along with bringing Sydalon into compliance with the Yarden Accords, Jordan lifted the remaining restrictions on non-Christians, including allowing entrance into the holy city of Kerkouane, and ending incentive-based conversion policies. However, Jordan was often criticized abroad and by human rights groups for his slow move to order a prohibition on the Order of the Holy Lance's persecution of non-Christians that was often ignored under his mother's reign. His reign was relatively peaceful when compared with previous Sydalene monarchs, and has been noted for the economic growth and moves to diversify the Sydalene economy.

Jordan was plagued with numerous health concerns after falling from horseback in 1993, and reportedly suffered from seizures thereafter. In 2013, Jordan was diagnosed with dementia and his reign entered into a regency, originally led by his eldest child and heir, Desiderius, Prince of Petra, though he would step down in 2013 after his own health concerns in favor of Queen Héloïse. Jordan passed away on 10 September 2017 after suffering from a stroke.
