'''King Patrick III''' (Patricus Julius Velucianus Carolinicus; 10 January [[1841]] - 13 January [[1917]]), known as '''The Desired''', was [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] beginning with the restoration at the end of the [[Red Interregnum]] until his death. At the time of his ascension, he was among the oldest [[Principality of Halfway|Princes of Halfway]] to ever become King. Born as the heir apparent to [[King Aedanicus VIII]], Patrick had a close relationship with his father which also included elements of tutelage, and the Prince of Halfway would, as he grew, adopt his father's reform-oriented mindset. Beginning in 1889, in his late 40s, Patrick went into exile in [[Burgundie]] as power in Urcea was seized by [[Gréagóir FitzRex]], who refused to allow him to be crowned. In the years of the regency prior the beginning of the [[Red Interregnum]], Patrick publicly asserted his rights, forming something of a court in exile. | |||

Following his restoration, King Patrick embarked on a series of reforms designed on settling the [[Constitution of Urcea]] and physically rebuilding the nation. His military reforms have lead to him being credited as the father of the [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] and modern [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]], as his interest in the new technology of airships and advancements in naval technology, respectively, lead to a major military buildup that left Urcea largely prepared to fight the [[Great War]]. The reign of Patrick III is unique due to the extensive powers wielded during [[The Enabling]] period between 1903 and 1905, making him the last [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] to use considerable direct power in governing the country. | |||
