The '''Saint's War''', also sometimes called the '''War of the Julii''' was a series of Urcean civil wars for control of the Urcean throne fought between supporters of two rival branches of descendants of St. Julius I: the House Julio-Aleckán, descended from St. Julius directly through the female line, and the House of Cónn, descended via St. Julius's brother and the first Kings of Urcea as proclaimed in the Golden Bull of 1098. Eventually, the wars eliminated the male lines of both families. The conflict lasted through many sporadic episodes between 1214 and 1402, but there was related fighting before and after this period between the parties, including the final defeat of the Cónn-descended House of Julio-Angloise by House de Weluta during the Great Confessional War. The power struggle ignited around social and financial troubles, unfolding the structural problems of feudalism. Historians disagree on which of these factors to identify as the main reason for the wars.

Both houses sat on the undivided throne in several stages between 1214 and 1339, but perhaps the most memorable phase of the war came in the form of the Great Interregnum, as the two primary constituent parts of the Kingdom - the Archduchy of Urceopolis and Grand Duchy of Yustona were divided between the houses, who constantly but inconsistently skirmished with each other over the course of six decades. With the end of the main Julio-Aleckán line in 1392, the Aleckán faction's claim was taken up by House de Weluta, newcomers to the ranks of the landed nobility. Following several more years of fighting, House de Weluta rallied powerful allies from the Ionian Highlands and definitively concluded the war at the Battle of Glens Falls and subsequent siege of the Cónn stronghold at Ardricampus. The de Weluta leader, Louis, married a prominent daughter of the Cónn family and sent the remainder into exile in Angla, which merged the two lines of succession under the de Weluta dynasty. The exiled remnants of the Cónn dynasty - mostly women and children - would marry into the royalty of Angla, planting the seeds for later dynastic turmoil during the Great Confessional War. A minority of scholars believe that the Saint's War did not conclusively end until the victory of House de Weluta over the Julio-Angloise in that conflict, but most historians agree that dynastic struggle, though related, is not part of the Saint's War "proper".
