The Julian Throne as a Royal institution was created by the [[Golden Bull of 1098]], elevating the Archduke-Grand Duke of Urceopolis and ~~Yustona~~ respectively, both descendants of [[Saint Julius I]], to the rank of King. The development of the [[Constitution of Urcea]] throughout the second millennia brought about ebbs and flows of Royal authority. The decline of the optimate nobility and power of the [[Estates of Urcea]] increased the power of the Apostolic King to a height in the late 1600s and early 1700s. This followed by increasing constitutional prerogatives for the [[Concilium Daoni]] and various royal concessions which have created the modern Constitution and [[Government of Urcea]], in which the Apostolic King holds full sovereignty but may only exercise Royal authority in a very strict set of circumstances. Nevertheless, the Apostolic Kingship has retained the religious and moral significance it acquired during the Medieval period.

Nevertheless, the Apostolic Kingship has retained the religious and moral significance it acquired during the Medieval period.

The philosophical underpinnings of the modern role of the Apostolic King of Urcea comes from the 16th and 17th centuries. As [[Crown Liberalism]] developed in Urcea alongside divine right of Kings elsewhere in Levantia, a unique understanding of the Kingship came about in Urcea. In line with {{wp|Catholic social teaching}}, it is commonly believed and articulated that the Apostolic King, like all forms of government, employs "authority required by the moral order" which "derives from God" (CCC), or, in other words, that all governing authority comes from above. While this does not imply intrinsic moral legitimacy, the [[Constitution of Urcea]] sees the Apostolic King as the divinely-ordained steward of the Kingdom and its people. This philosophy, known as ''Procuratorialism'', rejects that the ''individual'' King is specifically appointed by God but acknowledges that the Apostolic King derives his authority from above and is, therefore, responsible for the wise governance and leadership over those entrusted to him. Within the context of the development of the Constitution of Urcea, as noted above, the King now has relatively few day-to-day responsibilities, but the Constitution itself is viewed as divinely given from God through the authority of the Apostolic King by Crown Liberals, a view rejected by [[Wittonian Socialists]] as idolatry.

Line 65:

The Apostolic King and his wife, the queen consort, are formally addressed as "His Most Christian Majesty and Her Most Christian Majesty" (Their Most Christian Majesties). The widows and widowers of monarchs retain these styles until they remarry. The heir from birth holds the title of Prince of Halfway. Other children of the monarch, and the children of the heir apparent, hold the title and rank of Archduke or Archduchess, and styled His or Her Christian Highness. Since the Treaty of Corcra, the address of "''His Imperial Apostolic Majesty''" has been used on some occasions, but its use was rare until the reign of King Riordan VIII, who uses the manner of address in New Harren and other Crona possessions.

The Apostolic King of Urcea maintains a lengthy full title, listing a number of titular and historic claims. King Riordan VIII's full title is<blockquote>Riordan VIII, by the Grace of God, [[Emperor of the Levantines]], Apostolic King of [[Urcea]] and Elector of [[Canaery]], King of [[New Harren]], [[Talionia]], [[Kingdom of Crotona|Crotona]], [[Culfra]], and [[Dericania]], [[Kingdom of Angla|King of the Ængles]] and the [[Hištanšahr|Uzdehzani]], Prince of [[Cetsencalia]], [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Archduke of Urceopolis]], Grand Duke of [[~~Yustona~~]], Sovereign Lord of [[Medimeria]] and [[Ventotene]], Protector General of of the [[Unnuaq Mission State|Unnuaq Missions]], First and Only Honorary Canon of [[St. Peter's Archbasilica]], Grand Master of the [[Imperial Order of the Holy Cross]], [[Estates of Urcea|Custóir of Custóirs]], Custóir of the Julii, and Defender of the Faith.</blockquote>
