The Conine Emperors continued the practice common among the kings of Gallawa, dividing ones Kingdom among one's sons. This practice led to the division of the Empire among Emperor Brian III's three sons in 917, creating the Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines under King Culmann, the Southern Kingdom of the Levantines under King Charles, and the Western Kingdom of the Levantines under King Aemon. The Conine Dynasty was the most predominantly Gaelic Imperial dynasty; their successors would be more Latinic in character. | ||

The Luciusians managed to become the first family in the electoral era to maintain a father-to-son succession on the Imperial throne, creating an environment of dominance that lasted for 101 years. Their reign was notable for the initiation of the [[Crusades]] in Sarpedon, in [[1084]]. One of the first to answer the call to arms was Emperor Carles II, whose recruiting and campaigning efforts resulted in his canonization and veneration as a Catholic saint in [[1297]]. Carles also played a key role in ensuring the Kingdom of Culfra remained within the Empire and granted the [[Golden Bull of 1098]], establishing modern [[Urcea]]. | ||

The Jazonid Dynasty, a family of Gassavelian that had acquired the Duchy of Eagaria in the 1200s, took the Imperial Throne in 1387 due to the previous dynastic losses of the Great Plague. By far, it had the longest continuous reign over the Empire and was only surpassed by the House de Weluta in total years on the Imperial throne in the period following the Great War.

By far, it had the longest continuous reign over the Empire and was only surpassed by the House de Weluta in total years on the Imperial throne in the period following the Great War. The dynastic strength of the Jazonids provided a period of stability for the Empire, but the beginning of the Protestant Reformation as well as economic factors led to The Anarchy, which historians agree began in 1509 with the beginning of the reign of the last Jazonid Emperor, Louis VIII. The Jazonids suddenly died out in 1524 due to a mass assassination, causing the Empire to descend into chaos. | ||

Following two consecutive Emperors from Urcea, the Collegial Electorate responded to fears by princes of Dericania by electing Louis, the Grand Duke of Verecundia, over Emperor Aedanicus's son and heir, King Leo. This, along with Emperor Louis IX moving to deny the Apostolic King of Urcea succession in the Grand Duchy of Carolina sparked the War of the Caroline Succession. | Following two consecutive Emperors from Urcea, the Collegial Electorate responded to fears by princes of Dericania by electing Louis, the Grand Duke of Verecundia, over Emperor Aedanicus's son and heir, King Leo.

By coopting the power and authority of Urcea, the Electors hoped to use its resources to help stabilize the Empire. Urcea fought on the Empire's behalf during the Great War, but in 1935 King Brian IV relinquished authority to rule outside Urcea but did not abdicate the title of Emperor of the Levantines. The Treaty of Corcra acknowledged the right of Brian and any of his successors to continue to use the title Emperor of the Levantines, which they do through the present day. Emperor Brian VIII was the last Emperor elected by the Collegial Electorate. | ||
