William I Stonebridge is the current King of Aswick. Born as the second son, it was never expected of him to take the throne, but after an accident involving his father and older brother, he reluctantly became the King of Aswick.
Life
Early Life
William Stonebridge was born on the 15th of November, in the year 1988. He was the senior of twins. His father had just been crowned King of Aswick. The twins were baptized in Saint Arthur's Cathedral on the 20th of January. William's Godparents are the Duke and Duchess of Winchester, Richard and Jane Sharpe.
Military Service
After graduating from Secondary School, William attended the Royal Naval Academy. In two years he learned everything he had to, and then attended the Royal Air Force Flight Academy as a Midshipman. He learned to fly, and joined the crew of HMS Enterprise (Aswick) in September of 2008. The ship soon deployed, though. The Prince and his Squadron flew countless of sorties, dropping ordnance and fighting enemy air threats. For his actions, Sub-Lieutenant Stonebridge was meritoriously promoted to Lieutenant ahead of his peers and awarded the Meritorious Service Medal. Furthermore, his Squadron earned a Naval Meritorious Unit Citation.
Thrust into the role of King
On the 6th of June, 2010, King Marcus and Prince Rodney (Duke of Jamestown), were scheduled to arrive in the Caprican capital for a meeting with the President. Their plane never arrived, however. It had crashed somewhere over Caprica. Investigations later concluded that the plane had developed mechanical trouble that went unnoticed until it was too late.
Faced with the death of his father and his older brother, the Prince resigned his commission and reluctantly acceded to the throne.
Marriage
In 2011, the King of Aswick married the Trellinese Princess Nalaia. In a grand ceremony, the two were married in Saint Arthur's Cathedral. While the marriage was arranged obviously for political reasons, the pair learnt to love eachother in a relatively short time. In the autumn of 2014, it was announced that the Queen was pregnant. The child, named Alaric, was born on the 2nd of May, 2015. In 2016, they had a daughter named Madeline.
