The monarchy of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea began in 1098 via the Golden Bull of 1098, granted to the Prince-Archduke of Urcea, melding the hereditary lands of the descendants of St. Julius I into a single Kingdom in the southern part of the Holy Levantine Empire
House of Julio-Yustona
The House of Julio-Yustona descended from St. Julius I via his brother. Riordan I had, like several of his predecessors, simultaneously held the Archduchy of Urceopolis and the Grand Duchy of Yustona, as well as several other territories in the southern Holy Levantine Empire. He was granted Royal dignity by the Golden Bull of 1098, marking the creation of Urcea as a Kingdom.

House of Julio-Aleckán
The House of Julio-Aleckán assumed the Throne of Urcea following the events of the Interregnum of 1153, caused by the childless deaths of the young Kings Riordan III and Niall II in quick succession. After dispatching several claimants, Seán Aleckán was crowned King Seán I in the Julian Palace in 1159. The Aleckán dynasty had no relation to any previous Kings of Urcea but had succession from the direct female line of St. Julius I.

House of Cónn
Following the death of the King Niall III Augustus, his cousin, Cónn of Holmfilth, a distant descendant of King Aedanicus II, was crowned King Constantine I by demand of several power magnates and based on the claim that the Aleckán's distance from previous Kings gave Cónn a better claim. The Emperor's son, Donnchad, was passed over. This event marked the beginning of the Saint's War, a multi-generational multi-stage dynastic war between the Aleckáns and the Cónns, that would continue in some form until 1402.

House of Cónn
As part of the Saint's War, Adrian, son of King Aedanicus III, became King following the controversial will of Riordan IV, which named the Cónn rather than his brother Niall, purportedly out of personal enmity. The Julio-Aleckán faction disputed the claim by law and arms, but Adrian was crowned in Urceopolis regardless.

House of Julio-Aleckán
Following the lengthy but childless reign of Adrian I, the nephew of King Riordan IV, Louis, managed to seize Urceopolis before a Cónn could be crowned. This would be the final time the direct House of Julio-Aleckán ruled the Kingdom, and much of Louis's reign would be spent fighting Adrian Cónn, himself a nephew of King Adrian I.

Adrian Cónn managed to kill King Louis I at the Battle of Hollyhead, and was crowned in the Julian Palace not long after.

The Great Interregnum
The childless death of Adrian plunged into a period of military anarchy lasting from 1339 to 1402. During this period, the Kingdom was divided into several areas, the ruler of each of which claiming to be King of Urcea. No King sat in the Julian Palace; the Pope himself ruled the city in trust for the Throne during this period. The Aleckán faction, and their eventual successors the de Welutas reigned in the Grand Duchy of Yustona and neighboring territories while the Cónn faction ruled in the remnant portions of the Archduchy of Urceopolis and other western portions of the Kingdom. House de Weluta, a cadet branch of the House of Julio-Aleckán, finally triumphed at the Battle of Glens Falls in 1401, with Louis de Weluta marching on Urceopolis and being crowned personally by the Pope in 1402, ending the Great Interregnum. King Louis II married Princess Eileen Cónn, the heiress of her house, ending the Saint's War definitively.

House of Julio-Angloise
Protestant descendants of the Kings of Angla (themselves having partial heritage from the House of Cónn) and King Niall IV formed the cadet House of Julio-Angloise and seized the Throne after Adrian III's childless death, ostensibly due a succession crisis between Leo I's many children and grandchildren. Initially pledging tolerance, the Angloise regime soon expelled the Pope from Urceopolis and began persecution of the Catholic Church in Urcea.
