Sebastian I, Duke of Toron ChSL ChCE ChB (Sebastian Jamie Tancred Charles; born 4 November 1991) is a member of the Sydalene royal family.

Early life and education

Sebastian was born on 4 November 1991 at Castra Rubea, Sydalon. He is the second child and eldest son of Desiderius, Prince of Petra and Princess Christina of Latium. Sebastian was christened on 19 December 1994 at the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre, by the Pope. His godparents are Jacobus, Prince of Youth (his mother's brother), and Sibylla of Sydalon (his father's sister). He was named Sebastian after Sebastian III, Count of Ordaz, his great-great grandfather; Jamie after his uncle, then Jacobus, Prince of Youth; and Tancred after his great-grandfather Tancred II, Duke of Toron.

Sebastian was educated by a governess until the age of 8. Like his elder sister Melisende, Sebastian's education was focused on the constitution, history, and scripture. He most notably received scripture lessons from the Pope on occasion. Sebastian followed after his sister and became the second member of the Sydalene royal family to attend university when he enrolled at All Saints' College, earning a degree in history. In 2014, he took classes at {university}, in Garima, during a foreign exchange program.

In fall 2015, he began studying law at Balzac University, making Sebastian the first member of the royal family to attend and be awarded a degree from a domestic university. He graduated as a Master of Laws in 2018.

Duke of Toron

Since his birth, Sebastian was recognized as heir apparent to the Duchy of Toron as the eldest son of his father, who was Duke of Toron from 1975 until 2013. Like his father, Sebastian was styled as a Prince of Sydalon from birth and did not utilize any noble style as heir to Toron. In 2013, he became Duke of Toron following the death of his father. Sebastian appointed a regent to govern the domain while he was enrolled at university. After finishing his education, Sebastian began taking a more active role in the local Toron government.

Haut Cour appointment

In 2011, Sebastian attended his first Haut Cour meeting. He was appointed to the Haut Cour as a Queen's Councillor in 2013 following his sister's coronation as Queen, in which he continues to serve.

Personal life

Sebastian's personal life has been closely guarded, as he is a very private person according to courtiers. In 2013 he began courting Princess Roseline of Caillot. It was his first public courtship, though ended abruptly a few months later.

In 2016, Sebastian married Jocelyn of Gaemar.

Interests

Sebastian is noted to be fond of music and has played the piano since a young age. He enjoys athletics, most notably football, lacrosse, and swimming. He speaks Sydalene, Latin, Audonian, and Gariman.
