Desiderius I (Desiderius Charles Bohemond Henri; 22 February 1962 – 22 May 2013) was King of Sydalon from 2011 until his death in 2013. He was the eldest child of King Jordan IX of Sydalon and Melisende of Philippopolis. He was Duke of Toron and executive of the domain from 1975 until he became King in 2011.

Desiderius was born at Castra Rubea as the first grandchild of Queen Elissa IV and Tancred II, Duke of Toron. He was educated within the royal household by private tutors despite his father's desire to see Desiderius attend formal schooling. He entered the Sydalene Defense Forces in 1980, and served in both the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy until 1991. In 1992, he married Princess Christina of Latium and they had five children: Melisende, Sebastian, William, Roletus, Desideria, and Bohemond.

Desiderius was known for his charity, and progressive beliefs at royal court. He became King in 2011 following his father's death after a severe stroke. Desiderius was diagnosed with late stage pancreatic cancer in late 2012; he died months later on 22 May 2013.
