During Antiquity, the modern area of the Archduchy was considered the core [[Latinic people|Latin]] portion of [[Great Levantia]], and it was the center of a process known to historians as [[Urcean_people#Historic_Urceanization|Urceanization]], or the gradual introduction of Gaelic influence to the Levantine people to create modern Urcean society. The core of the historic Archduchy lay in the post-Levantine [[Duchy of Urceopolis]], established by the local nobility after the last Great Levantine emperor was deposed. The Archduchy was created by [[Conchobar I, Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor Conchobar I]] as he conquered the former Great Levantine heartland in the 8th century; since then, the borders and extent of the Archduchy of Urceopolis have changed greatly. Organized from the lands of the [[Latin League]], the Archduchy initially stretched from the [[Urce River]] to the west to the [[Ionian Plateau|Ionians]] in the east. The [[Duchy of Transurciana]] was split from the Archduchy in the 10th century and gradually reincorporated over the next millennia. The Archduchy's land gradually "moved" westward, as the land of the former [[Creagmer republics]] were incorporated into the Archduchy as one of the Kingdom's top geopolitical priorities in the century before the [[Saint's War]]. Concurrently, Ionian territories were increasingly split off into other titles and territories. The final modern form of the Archduchy was established by the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]], which centered much of the extant crownland in territories along the [[Creagmer]] and around the [[Urce River]] and lands to the west and south of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]. | During Antiquity, the modern area of the Archduchy was considered the core [[Latinic people|Latin]] portion of [[Great Levantia]], and it was the center of a process known to historians as [[Urcean_people#Historic_Urceanization|Urceanization]], or the gradual introduction of Gaelic influence to the Levantine people to create modern Urcean society.
