The first reign of the [[House de Weluta|de Welutas]] saw a focus on rebuilding the international reputation and internal infrastructure of the Kingdom. Ruling for a century over a period of remarkable national unity, the unity came to an end during the reign of James III as the Protestant Reformation began, creating a small but problematic Protestant minority in the Kingdom. A minor succession crisis allowed the Protestant, Riordan V of the House of ~~Julio-Angloise~~, seized the throne in 1546. During his reign, a period of Catholic persecution began, sparking the Urcean War of Religion, a major theater of what became known as the [[Great Confessional War]]. Riordan's son, Donnchad was an accomplished commander but was ultimately defeated and killed in 1565, leading to a restoration of the [[House de Weluta]]. His successor, [[Emperor Leo III of the Holy Levantine Empire|King Leo II]], lead the Kingdom on the Catholic side for the remaining period of the Great Confessional War, eventually being elected Emperor and leading [[Dragonnades]] against Levantine Protestants. As a consequence of the war, Urcea saw major territorial aggrandizement at the expense of [[Angla]] and [[Gassavelia]] was firmly entrenched as the preeminent power in the [[Holy Levantine Empire]].
