Early history of Urcea: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

The '''Early history of Urcea''', sometimes also called the '''Early Period''', consists of the entire period of time from the beginning of human settlement of [[Levantia]] through the death of [[Gaius Julius Cicurinus|Saint Julius of the Caeline]] in 800 AD. Consequently, it includes the sparsely-recorded history of southwestern before the arrival of the [[Adonerum|Adonerii]], the early Adonerii period, the rise and fall of [[Great Levantia]], and the period between the fall of [[Great Levantia]] and rise of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]].

During this period, significant upheaval was the norm for more than two thousand years prior to the establishment of [[Great Levantia]]. Arrivals of [[Gaelic people]], Istroyan people and then [[Latinic people]] ~~lead~~ to massive demographic changes in the modern territory of Urcea, as the earliest human societies were displaced by semi-nomadic Gaelic tribes that introduced agriculture to the region. The Gaels were displaced in the millennium BC by [[Latinic people]], while Istroyan people settled the southeastern shore of the country. These groups came together to an extent in the foundation of [[Great Levantia]], which eventually collapsed due to economic failure, social upheavel, and pressure from outside groups, such as the Goths. From the foundations of Great Levantia came the [[Latin League]] and [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] alongside the early origins of feudalism. The Latin League was swept away by the new [[Holy Levantine Empire]] in the 8th century, but Urceopolis was spared from destruction due to the leadership of Saint Julius of the Caeline, who elevated Urceopolis's position within the Empire by cooperation with Emperor Conchobar. By the time of his death, his dynasty ruled more than a third of Urcea's modern territory, creating the foundations for the later establishment of a single country.

In exchange for his loyalty, [[Conchobar I, Emperor of the Levantines|Conchobar]] granted Julius the title of [[Archduchy of Urceopolis|Archduke of Urceopolis]] and also granted the new [[Grand Duchy of Harren|Duchy of Harren]] to Julius’s brother, Mettius Julius Cicurinus, a decision which established the [[House of Harren]] within the Julian dynasty. Critically, Conchobar's grant of the Archduchy was to Julius and his descendants, abolishing the early elective system of the [[Duchy of Urceopolis]]. Later, in 761, Conchobar was crowned [[Emperor of the Levantines]] in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] by the Pope, forming the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]]. Archduke Julius remained a loyal vassal of the Emperor and continued to defend the Imperial frontier against non-Christians to both the north and south, eventually working to convert large groups later in life by sponsoring important missionary trips. His son, also named Gaius Julius Cicurinus, would lead the Julian realms' collective campaigns against [[Hištanšahr]], winning several victories against them; he would take the name "''Usdenicus Maximus''" as an {{wp|agnomen}}, a name by which he would be commonly known as.

As Archduke, Julius introduced multiple reforms, most notably further integrations of Gaelic and several forms of the bastardized hybrids of Gaelic and Latin as government languages of the Archduchy, changes that eventually ~~lead~~ to the official adoption of [[Lebhan language|Lebhan]] as the official language of state and commerce by the Kingdom of Urcea several hundred years later. His project of elevating the Latino-Gaels - the [[Urcean people]] - into full integrated status within the Archduchy gave him the legacy of being the "founding father of [[Urcea]]."

In [[780]], the Archduke invested his son, Usdenicus Maximus, as {{wp|coregency|coregent}}, beginning a troubled two decades of relations between father and son. Julius died in [[800]] and was canonized by the Church in [[1097]], forming an important basis for the arguments that eventually ~~lead~~ to the issuance of the [[Golden Bull of 1098]] in favor of the Saint’s descendants.
