The Kingdom as a distinct entity began as the "Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines", which remained the official name of the entity from its establishment in 917 until the late 11th century. During this time, it was popularly referred to in [[Urcea]] and elsewhere by [[Gaelic people]] as the "''thoir''" land, or the eastern land. By about 1000, the Kingdom was said to be "''thoiric''", or "eastern", which developed by 1050 into the term for the region "Toricania" and eventually "Dericania" as a derivative. The Kingdom was officially referred to this name by about 1100 onwards, though the "Eastern Kingdom" title would remain in limited use until about 1300. | The Kingdom as a distinct entity began as the "Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines", which remained the official name of the entity from its establishment in 917 until the late 11th century.

In 917, upon the death of the [[Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor]] Brian III, the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]] under the [[Conine dynasty]] was partitioned into three parts, roughly corresponding to modern day [[Urcea]], [[Carna]], and [[Dericania]], with the latter portion known as the Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines. Passing from the Conine dynasty to the Leonine dynasty, [[Emperor Leo I of the Holy Levantine Empire|King Leo]], reformed the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] in [[965]] with his conquest of the [[Southern Kingdom of the Levantines]], reunifying most of the realm and receiving subsequent recognition of the [[Pope]]. Historians debate when the name "''Dericania''" entered common use for the realm, but the "Eastern Kingdom" nomenclature was largely extinct by the late 11th century | In 917, upon the death of the [[Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor]] Brian III, the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]] under the [[Conine dynasty]] was partitioned into three parts, roughly corresponding to modern day [[Urcea]], [[Carna]], and [[Dericania]], with the latter portion known as the Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines.

While the [[Emperor of the Levantines]] used Dericania and its crown possession, [[Corcra (City)|Corcra]], as a successful base of power from the 10th to the 14th century, the Kingdom mostly devolved into an area with the least central authority in the Empire by the 1400s. Several reasons are cited for the decline in crown power, but the fall primarily came the demise of the {{wp|stem duchies}} dependent on Imperial support and the rise of hundreds of varied dynastic estates made the Kingdom administratively unwieldy and difficulty to govern. | |||

While several attempts at reform were made in the 1490s, lack of central authority was permanently established because of the {{wp|Protestant Reformation}}. Despite its lack of tangible political authority, Dericania was by far considered the most prestigious of the constituent Kingdoms of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], and a majority of [[List of Emperors of the Levantines|Emperors of the Levantines]] were elected from Dericania. | ===Renaissance Dericania=== | ||
