===Piety=== | |||
House de Weluta and Urcea generally are closely associated with the [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] faith. Accordingly, members of the family are generally expected by both the public and other family members to exhibit high degrees of personal piety and outward signs of devotion, such as regular mass attendance. [[Patrick III of Urcea|King Patrick III]] is notably remembered for having eschewed most of these expectations, obstensibly because of the amount of work the Restoration required. During Patrick's later reign, many peripheral members of the family also began to eschew weekly attendance of mass, a requirement that was restored during the first year of his son, King Niall VI, in [[1917]]. | |||
Due to the close association of the family with piety, it became the official policy of the Apostolic Kings beginning with Aedanicus IV in [[1601]] to eschew a {{wp|Royal mistress|royal mistress}} and remain faithful to their Queens, at least publicly. The high expectations on the family has had the practical effect of deeply worsening the degree of scandal in the event that moral impropriety is discovered. The discovery of Patrick II's secret mistress in [[1837]] made him deeply unpopular and required [[Aedanicus VIII]] to display rigorous faithfulness to his wive during his reign in order to save the familial reputation. | |||
