From the time of Saint Julius's election as [[Duchy of Urceopolis|Dux of Urceopolis]], the Julii Cicurini reigned in Urceopolis. This senior branch of the family experienced various deaths and female births to close the 800s, leading to a succession issue. Cumhachtabilis, the last male of the senior Julii Cicurini, died without issue in [[922]]. | From the time of Saint Julius's election as [[Duchy of Urceopolis|Dux of Urceopolis]], the Julii Cicurini reigned in Urceopolis.

The '''House of Ronan'''(often referred to as the '''Ronanids''') was a cadet branch of [[House de Weluta]] established with the marriage of Ronan the Elder (1444-1490), son of King Niall IV (reigned 1456-1482), to a princess of [[Anglei]], Engelberta, in [[1465]]. From the marriage of Ronan the Elder to the time of the [[Nordmontaine War]], the Ronanids resided within the [[Anglei#Kingdom_period|Ænglish Kingdom]], first as minor nobles and eventually as prominent courtesans. | |||
Princes Engelberta herself was a descendant of the [[House of Cónn]] from her grandmother's maternal line, making their line - beginning with their son, Ronan the Younger (1466-1512) - viewed as having an extra degree of Julian legitimacy. Ronan the Younger's son, Caelian (1490-1540) embraced {{wp|Protestantism}} in accordance with the establishment of the [[Anglei#The_Ænglish_Church|Ænglish Church]] in [[1523]], and the rest of the family followed. Caelian's son, Riordan (1511-1557), consequently, was mostly raised as a Protestant in the tradition of the Ænglish Church. Although the Ænglish Kingdom was destroyed, the Ronanids were nevertheless permitted to remain on their land for the time being. Opportunities would soon present themselves in Urcea, however. Dynastic issues in [[Urcea]] led to a lack of a clear, capable heir [[History_of_Urcea_(1402-1575)#Velucian_renaissance|at the death of King Adrian III]] in [[1546]]. Besides the possibly developmentally disabled Prince Aedanicus, Riordan Ronanid was the next legal successor to the Apostolic Kingship of Urcea as the great-great grandson and direct descendant of King Niall IV. Riordan's Protestant faith led prominent locals to reject his claim, resulting in Riordan seizing [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] by force in October 1546. | |||
Riordan, and his son Donnchad, [[History_of_Urcea_(1402-1575)#Ronanid_reign|would rule Urcea from 1546 through 1565]]. King Donnchad III, son of Riordan, reigned until he was killed at the Battle of Drumfree in April 1565. Most of the members of his immediate family [[History_of_Urcea_(1402-1575)#Fate_of_the_Ronanids|disappeared from the historical record after 1571]], with various theories explaining their disappearence, but most historians conclude they were likely killed or died in prison after the [[Great Confessional War]]. Though the "Urcean Ronanids" disappear from history at this time, remaining members of the family continued to live in modern Anglei until around [[1559]] when Donnchad's cousin, Maelius, led his part of the family into [[Pharisedom]] in [[Alstin]]. The "Maelian Ronans" were among the first families to settle in Alstin and began to thrive as merchants by around 1600. Although the "Royal Ronanids" went extinct, the Ronan name and family heritage is widespread in some parts of Alstin. | |||
