Alexander II, born William Alexander George 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.

Childhood

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. Alexander 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 Alexander William 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 graduated 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 more state duties.
