Frederick Wilem II

Prince Frederick Wilem II was the youngest son of Queen Hestia Wilem of Flowers and her husband Prince Consort Frederick Wilem II. He is most remembered for his contributions to the field of meteorology. 
== Biography ==
Frederick was born on the 3rd of Aedor in 14 AE, the result of an accidental pregnancy. He was much loved by his mother and father, being the baby of the family. His siblings adored him, taking turns caring for him. His older sister Iseult Wilem especially enjoyed dressing him up and parading him about the palace. As he grew up he became especially close with Hestia, as he was uninterested in masculine pursuits. Frederick showed a great aptitude for science, being especially engaged in the study of the clouds and predicting of weather. Frederick was shy and pudgy, often clinging to his mother's skirts. Hestia would give him sweets to lift his spirits.
In his teens, he was set to attend Lambert University, but his crippling shyness had him returning home after a few weeks away. His mother decided instead to employ a series of professors to tutor the boy at Evermere. He excelled in these studies, eventually working closely as a research assistant to the Skjolian professor Doctor Myron Kirovich starting in early 6 CE. This partnership would be put on hold shortly after his mother's death on 23 Cern that same year. Devastated, Frederick was said to have cried from her death to her funeral. 
Frederick had lived with his mother until her death and apparently protested greatly his betrothal to Lady Guinevere Olivarden in 5 CE as arranged by Hestia. She reluctantly called off the young couple's wedding due to her failing health in early 6 CE, but Frederick would finally follow through with her wishes in 10 CE after years of working in the lab with Dr. Kirovich. The marriage would prove to be somewhat controversial, as the two would have two children. The first, a son in 12 CE called Frederick also, was quite unlike his father. He was athletic, with dark hair and eyes, as well as a distinct nose which many rumors claimed to prove he was the product of an affair. His second child, a daughter in 16 CE named Iliana, was the spitting image of her father, only heightening the rumors. The couple denied the claims though it is now widely agreed upon that Ser Frederick Wilem III was a bastard.
Following his mother's death and his marriage, Frederick would continue to live at Evermere with his extended family until his death in 32 CE from a heart attack, a side effect of his lifelong obesity. He was buried alongside his father and mother at the Royal Vaults at Evermere. He is most remembered for his contribution to meteorology, especially in the creation of a new type of barometer for high altitude measurements.
== Appearance ==
Frederick had blond hair, green eyes, and a pleasant smile. He frequently, but not always wore glasses. Since a child he had been fat, though he began to gain weight rapidly after his mother's death, eventually leading to his own early demise at age forty-six. It was estimated he weighed some four hundred pounds at his death. His sister Iseult often claimed he was the most handsome of her siblings, an irony considering her relationship with Roberte Wilem.
