In the later portions of the [[Great Interregnum]], the House de Weluta suceeded the [[List of Urcean monarchs#House%20of%20Julio-Aleck.C3.A1n%203|Aleckán]] dynasty as head of the Aleckán faction, and in so doing the de Welutas inherited the [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Archduchy of Urceopolis]]. Galvanizing the highland clans and Aleckán loyalists, Lucás de Weluta managed to end the [[Saint's War]] at the Battle of Glens Falls in 1401, becoming [[Apostolic King of Urcea]]. While some questioned the legitimacy of the de Welutas on the account of "mere" female succession from the Aleckáns, King Lucás II married the Cónn heiress following the battle, uniting the two branches of the [[Julian dynasty]] under House de Weluta. | In the later portions of the [[Great Interregnum]], the House de Weluta suceeded the [[List of Urcean monarchs#House%20of%20Julio-Aleck.C3.A1n%203|Aleckán]] dynasty as head of the Aleckán faction, and in so doing the de Welutas inherited the [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Archduchy of Urceopolis]].

The de Welutas have held the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|Apostolic Kingship]] for longer than any other branch of the Julian dynasty, reigning interrupted since 1402, a total of 540 years as of the accession of [[Riordan VIII]] in [[2006]] out of a total of 908 years of the existence of the Kingship. Riordan VIII, upon his accession, became the 34th Urcean monarch from the House out of a total of 53 Urcean monarchs. In that time, the de Welutas have become closely associated both with the Kingship itself as well as Urcea as a whole. Efforts to remove the de Welutas in favor of other members of the Julian dynasty have been thwarted on multiple occasions, most recently [[History_of_Urcea_(1798-1902)#Mandt_Affair|due to public outcry]] in [[1896]]. | The de Welutas have held the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|Apostolic Kingship]] for longer than any other branch of the Julian dynasty, reigning interrupted since 1402, a total of 540 years as of the accession of [[Riordan VIII]] in [[2006]] out of a total of 908 years of the existence of the Kingship.

House de Weluta has a long and sometimes troubled history with the title of [[Emperor of the Levantines]], a title it now holds permanently following the [[Treaty of Corcra]]. Between the beginning of the Imperial reign of [[Leo III, Emperor of the Levantines|King Leo the Great]] in [[1572]] and the end of the reign of King Lucás III in [[1798]], members of House de Weluta had held the Imperial throne for 113 of 226 years, despite efforts to remove them - most prominently in the events surrounding the [[War of the Caroline Succession]]. Following the removal of the House from Imperial office in [[1798]] during the [[Second Caroline War]], House de Weluta assumed what had been an unprecedented posture of antagonism towards the Empire, beginning the century-long [[Recess of the Julii]]. Restored to Imperial authority in [[1920]], House de Weluta has held the throne ever since, including as part of the legal pretense of the [[Empire-in-fact]]. | House de Weluta has a long and sometimes troubled history with the title of [[Emperor of the Levantines]], a title it now holds permanently following the [[Treaty of Corcra]].
