At the end of the [[First Great War]], [[Patrick III of Urcea|King Patrick III]] was [[History_of_Urcea_(1902-1955)#Restoration|restored]] to the throne of his father, [[Aedanicus VIII]]. The restoration inaugurated the restored and current reign of House de Weluta over Urcea. The current reign saw a minor dynastic crisis during the mid 20th century. [[Brian IV of Urcea|King Brian IV]] had several male heirs, and upon his death in 1947 his eldest son Lucás IV was crowned King. Lucás was assassinated in [[1949]], bringing his brother Patrick IV to the Throne. Patrick was unable to have children despite significant efforts to do so. He died in 1967 following an 18 year reign, handing the throne to his brother Donnchad IV. Fortunately for both Urcea and House de Weluta, Donnchad had a son Aedanicus, born in [[1927]], who became Apostolic King in [[1971]]. Accordingly, the succession remained uncertain for nearly two decades. Aedanicus's long reign and many children were marred with the unfortunate death of his son and heir, Aedanicus the Prince of Halfway, in 1996. The Prince of Halfway's son, [[Riordan VIII|Riordan]], became Prince of Halfway and thus heir, becoming King Riordan VIII after the death of his grandfather in 2006. | |||

House de Weluta has assumed crowns abroad at various times beginning in the 18th century. For the most part, these crowns were new realms held in personal union with the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], such as the late 18th century creation of [[Talionia]] or early 21st century creation of [[New Harren]]. There are some prominent exceptions to this general rule. In [[1824]], Corio de Weluta was crowned King Arathvesur I of [[Paulastra]], bringing the still-reigning [[Julian dynasty]] to that country. The direct de Weluta line ruling Paulastra ended in [[1890]]. | House de Weluta has assumed crowns abroad at various times beginning in the 18th century.
