The Julian Throne as a Royal institution was created by the [[Golden Bull of 1098]], elevating the Archduke-Grand Duke of Urceopolis and Harren 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.
The Julian Throne as a Royal institution was created by the [[Golden Bull of 1098]], elevating the Archduke-Grand Duke of Urceopolis and Harren 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.


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.
