Saint's War: Difference between revisions

The '''Saint's War''', also sometimes called the '''War of the Julii''' was a series of [[Urcea]]n civil wars for control of the Urcean throne fought between supporters of two rival branches of the [[Julian dynasty]]; the House of Aleckán, descended from [[Gaius Julius Cicurinus]] (Saint Julius of the Caeline) directly through the female line, and the House of Cónn, descended via the Saint'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.
