William I (William Benjamin James Bientot b; 24 May 1819 d; 24 January 1904) was King of the Anglish Empire and Protector of the Realm from 24 May 1819 until his death in 1904. His reign lasted for 67 years, making him the the longest reigning monarch in Anglish history. It was a period of industrial, political, scientific, and military change within Angland, and was marked by a great expansion of the Anglish Empire. In 1876, the Anglish Parliament voted to grant her the additional title of Emperor of Kuthra.
William was born as the first child of King Robert V and Victoria of Bratterburg. He led an extravagant lifestyle that contributed to the fashions of the Regency era. He was a patron of new forms of leisure, style and taste. He commissioned John Wood to build the Royal Pavilion in Sixton and remodel Belfast Tower, and commissioned Jeffry Wyatville to rebuild Casingham Palace. The charm and culture William brought to Angland gained him the title "the gentleman of Angland".
