Alexander II, William Alexander George Nicholas de Anthord-Mere-Luces on the 9th of July, 1978, is the reigning Sovereign and monarch of the Kingdom of Nortend, Cardoby and Hambria. Known before his succession as Prince William, he acceded to the throne thereof at 5·32 a. m. on the 30th of April, 2003, after the passing of his mother, Catherine II. As well as his titles of King of Nortend and Hambria, he is also the Lord of Cardoby, Duke of St Parth and Hastica, Supreme Governour of the Church Mundane and Vicar of God.
Early life
William was born on Sunday, the 9th of July, 1978, at the Palace of St Michael'sgate during the 13th year of Catherine II's reign, at the age of 27. His father was the Prince Consort, HRH Prince Andrew, The Duke of Faunslaughter. The royal couple had only married two years prior, at the relatively advanced ages of 25 and 28, and it was considered a relief for the entire Royal family and court that they had begotten a son.
William was baptised a week after his birth, on the 16th of July, a Sunday too, by the Bishop of Lendert, the Rt. Rev'd Frederic Walfort, and was christened William Alexander George, after the Kings Alexander I, George III and his paternal grandfather, William, Duke of Faunslaughter.
William was tutored at home until the age of ten, when he was sent to Allord College. He was confirmed at the age of sixteen at the St Peter's Cathedral, Lendert-with-Cadell, on the 6th of December, 1994, taking the name of Nicholas after St Nicholas, whose feast day is the 6th of December. He graduated from the fifth form of Allord College in 1996 and was sent to the Royal Naval College at Canesea where he was commissioned as a midshipman aboard the training ship HEMS Southclive in 1997. He served for four years as the Captain of the College until 2002, when his mother's poor health led him to take up an increasing load of state duties.
Accession
At 5·32 a.m., on the 30th of April, 2003, Catherine II died, and William became King of Nortend, Cardoby and Hambria. He took the regnal name of Alexander II, to a homage to his ancestor, Alexander I, who acceded to the throne in 1603, nearly exactly 400 years prior.
Marriage
On the 3rd of February, 2003, William had announced his formal engagement and betrothal to Grand Princess Katarina of Nikolia, with a scheduled wedding on Sunday, the 7th of September. Katarina, who was of the Nikolian Catholic church, was not required to convert to the Church of Nortend as the two churches were and are in full communion with each other as schismatic churches of the Roman Catholic Church. However, the sudden death of Catherine II, William's mother, on the 30th of April that year threw the entire kingdom into a year-long period of court mourning. The wedding was rescheduled for the 5th of September, 2004, on which day the now King Alexander II married Katarina of Nikolia, now Queen of Nortend, Cardoby and Hambria, at St Peter's Cathedral in Lendert-with-Cadell.

Therefore, the date of his coronation was pushed back to after their wedding, which was to be held on the 5th of September. The Coronation of King Alexander II and Queen Katarina, therefore, was held on the 6th of September at Sulthey Cathedral where almost all Erbonian kings and queens had been crowned for centuries.
