The '''Rulers of Adrianople''' were a collection of dukes, and kings that reigned over the Latin city of Adrianople and even much of western Latium as independent rulers from 1059 until 1428 when the kingdom was reintegrated into the united [[Latium|Latin Empire]]. The Kingdom of Adrianople is a historiographical term created after the existence of the realm to differentiate it from what was recognized as the Latin Empire. Throughout the entire 285 year existence of the realm, the Claudii rulers of Adrianople claimed to be the rightful [[Monarchy of Latium|Latin Emperors]], due to the first king's status as the youngest son of [[Maria Augusta of Latium|Empress Maria Augusta]] and [[Michael of Adrianople|Michael V]].  
The '''Duke of Adrianople''' is a [[wikipedia:Duchy|duchy]] in [[Latium]] held by the [[House of Claudius|Head of the House of Claudius]]. Historically, the title refers to a collection of monarchs and later dukes that reigned over [[Adrianople]] and parts of western Latium as independent rulers from 1059 until 1428 when the kingdom was reintegrated into the united [[Latium|Latin Empire]]. The Kingdom of Adrianople is a historiographical term created after the existence of the realm to differentiate it from what is recognized as the Latin Empire. Throughout the entire 285 year existence of the realm, the Claudii rulers of Adrianople claimed to be the rightful [[Monarchy of Latium|Latin Emperors]], due to the first king's status as the youngest son of [[Maria Augusta of Latium|Empress Maria I Claudia]] and [[Ascanius II Claudius]].  


At its largest territorial extent, the rulers of Adrianople controlled much of western and southwestern Latium, including Iasonia, Utica, Aarhusium and Rutupiae. The Monarchs of Adrianople even controlled most of the territory composing the modern-day border region with [[Lyncanestria]], including the counties of Gelonia and Olybrium, from 1059 until 1149. The early dominance of Adrianople over Latium is often attributed the reinforcement levies from western Latium proper never reaching Audonia.

The sovereignty of Adrianople's monarchs came to an end on 28 November 1689, when Michael I (''Michael VI'' as Latin pretender) was defeated in battle outside of the modern-day city of Colonia Julia. Michael sued for peace, relinquished his claims on the Latin throne, and submitted to Emperor Alexander XIV. While Michael still held control over a sizable amount of territory, he was enabled to retain his non-imperial titles and swore fealty to Alexander XIV as the 26th Duke of Adrianople.
The sovereignty of Adrianople's monarchs came to an end on 28 November 1489, when Constantine IV (''Constantine XVIII'' as Latin pretender) was defeated in battle outside of the modern-day city of Colonia Julia. Constantine IV sued for peace, relinquished his claims on the Latin throne, and submitted to Emperor Theodosius IX Aemilius, who allowed him to retain Adrianople and hold the title of Duke of Adrianople
==History==
==History==
The Monarchy of Adrianople traces its roots to the Imperial Latin pretender rulers following the devastating military defeats of the Latin legions across Belisaria, and assassination of [[Peter III of Latium|Latin Emperor Peter III]] in 1059. Months before, the Latin armies led by [[Prince Constantine of Youth|Prince Constantine]], heir and eldest child of [[Maria Augusta of Latium|Empress Maria I Augusta]] was killed during the [[Battle of Saint-Nazaire]] while fighting rebellious Audonian and allied armies. The death of Prince Constantine left the armies in disarray, though his brother Prince Peter was said to have taken command afterwards, and saw the retreat from the Vannoisian frontier to defensible positions in modern-day [[Lihndos]], where they were unable to sustain any hold on defenses. Prince Constantine's death reportedly drove Empress Maria Augusta to depression, resulting in her death later that year. She was succeeded by Constantine's only son [[Maurice of Latium|Maurice]], whom was only 9 years old.

==Family Seat==
{{main|Palatium Supranio}}


Latin forces were continuing to withdraw from the north and Vannoisian frontier in 1404 when a coup led by Hellenic senators assassinated the young emperor Maurice in Alexandria, naming general John Visellius the rightful Emperor, breaking the nearly 1000 years rule of the Claudii. Hearing word of his nephew's assassination, Prince Peter ordered his retreat to fall back to the city of Mauriopolis after ordering his commanders in Adrianople to raise the local levies.
==List of title holders==
===The Anarchy===
===Emperors in Adrianople===
The assassination of Emperor Maurice initiated a nearly ten year long civil war between the recently proclaimed and Senate backed Emperor John V and the [[House of Claudius|Claudii]], led by Prince Peter who proclaimed himself Emperor Peter VI of the Latins. The civil war ultimately did not result in a victory for either faction and saw Latium proper split in half, with the Latin emperors ruling from Alexandria in the east and the Claudii ruling from the west in Adrianople.
Throughout the course of the Sovereignty of Adrianople, the Claudian rulers continued to assert their status as the rightful [[Monarchy of Latium|Latin emperors]] in an unbroken line from [[Constantine V Claudius]], who took the purple in 577. When receiving, or entertaining, dignitaries or other nobles, the Claudii Emperors in Adrianople retained the traditional sytle of <nowiki>"Caesar"</nowiki> with the chief among his titles being <nowiki>"Latin Emperor"</nowiki> The Claudii rulers of Adrianople claimed the following Imperial titles:
==Titles and styles==
::''His Imperial Majesty, the Most Sacred and Christian, Most Pious and Blessed, Most Serene and Noble Augustus, Unconquered and Universal Emperor, King of the Albans, and of the Sabines, Lord of the World, Father of the Fatherland, First Citizen of Senate, Companion of Christ, Equal to the Apostles, and Sword of Christ.''
===Claimed titles===
Throughout the course of the Sovereignty of Adrianople, the Claudii rulers continued to proclaim their status as the lawful [[Monarchy of Latium|Latin emperors]] in an unbroken line from [[Philip I of Latium|Emperor Philip I]] in 372. When receiving or entertaining dignitaries or other nobles, the Claudii rulers of Adrianople kept with the long old tradition of addressing the ruler as <nowiki>"Caesar"</nowiki> with the chief among his titles being <nowiki>"Emperor of the Latins"</nowiki> The Claudii rulers of Adrianople claimed the following Imperial titles:
::''His Imperial Majesty [Name], By the Grace of God, the Most Serene and Noble, Unconquered, Emperor of the Latins, Basileus and Autokrator of the Hellenes, Most Christian and Apostolic King of Castellum and Alba, Lord of the Palatine, Conqueror and Master of Belisaria, Father of the Fatherland, First Citizen of Senate, He Who Commands the Tides of Our Sea and the Narrow Sea, Equal to the Apostles, Ruler faithful in Christ, Sword of Christ, Defender of the Faith.''


In addition the Ruler of Adrianople was also the Duke of Adrianople, which is the official reference for the Adrianople rulers among Latin Imperial records of the era.

==Succession==
Succession to the Duchy of Adrianople follows the line of the [[House of Claudius#Head of the House|Head of the House of Claudius]], per a 1997 decree issued by [[Jacobus VI Claudius|Emperor Jacobus VI]]. The Duchy and house leadership descend according to male-preference primogeniture, originally from [[Constantine V Claudius|Latin Emperor Constantine V]]. The 1997 decree delineated the immediate line of descent from [[Jacobus Claudius, Duke of Adrianople|Jacobus V, Duke of Adrianople]] according to the principles of male-preference primogeniture. Though atypical in male-preference primogeniture, a female may be Duchess of Adrianople and Head of the House in her own right, but not pass such titles to her children, unless her husband is also of the House of Claudius. As such, females are excluded from succession upon their marriage to a dynast. Additionally, the Head of the House is Duke of Tolosa in the right of [[Garza]], however this title follows male-only succession. It has been held by every head of the house since 1049, except for on one occasion. This has occurred on one occasion, when [[Maria I, Duchess of Adrianople]] married her uncle [[Philip I Claudius, Duke of Tolosa]], and the titles re-merged with the tenure of their oldest son [[John II, Duke of Adrianople]].

The Duke of Adrianople is a duchy in Latium held by the Head of the House of Claudius. Historically, the title refers to a collection of monarchs and later dukes that reigned over Adrianople and parts of western Latium as independent rulers from 1059 until 1428 when the kingdom was reintegrated into the united Latin Empire. The Kingdom of Adrianople is a historiographical term created after the existence of the realm to differentiate it from what is recognized as the Latin Empire. Throughout the entire 285 year existence of the realm, the Claudii rulers of Adrianople claimed to be the rightful Latin Emperors, due to the first king's status as the youngest son of Empress Maria I Claudia and Ascanius II Claudius.

At its largest territorial extent, the Emperors in Adrianople controlled much of western and southwestern Latium, including Iasonia, Utica, Aarhusium and Rutupiae. Adrianople controlled most of the territory composing the modern-day border region with Lyncanestria, including the counties of Gelonia and Olybrium, from 1059 until 1149.

The sovereignty of Adrianople's monarchs came to an end on 28 November 1489, when Constantine IV (Constantine XVIII as Latin pretender) was defeated in battle outside of the modern-day city of Colonia Julia. Constantine IV sued for peace, relinquished his claims on the Latin throne, and submitted to Emperor Theodosius IX Aemilius, who allowed him to retain Adrianople and hold the title of Duke of Adrianople

Emperors in Adrianople

Throughout the course of the Sovereignty of Adrianople, the Claudian rulers continued to assert their status as the rightful Latin emperors in an unbroken line from Constantine V Claudius, who took the purple in 577. When receiving, or entertaining, dignitaries or other nobles, the Claudii Emperors in Adrianople retained the traditional sytle of "Caesar" with the chief among his titles being "Latin Emperor" The Claudii rulers of Adrianople claimed the following Imperial titles:

His Imperial Majesty, the Most Sacred and Christian, Most Pious and Blessed, Most Serene and Noble Augustus, Unconquered and Universal Emperor, King of the Albans, and of the Sabines, Lord of the World, Father of the Fatherland, First Citizen of Senate, Companion of Christ, Equal to the Apostles, and Sword of Christ.

In addition the Emperor in Adrianople was also the Duke of Adrianople, which is the official reference for the Adrianople rulers among Latin Imperial records of the era.

Succession

Succession to the Duchy of Adrianople follows the line of the Head of the House of Claudius, per a 1997 decree issued by Emperor Jacobus VI. The Duchy and house leadership descend according to male-preference primogeniture, originally from Latin Emperor Constantine V. The 1997 decree delineated the immediate line of descent from Jacobus V, Duke of Adrianople according to the principles of male-preference primogeniture. Though atypical in male-preference primogeniture, a female may be Duchess of Adrianople and Head of the House in her own right, but not pass such titles to her children, unless her husband is also of the House of Claudius. As such, females are excluded from succession upon their marriage to a dynast. Additionally, the Head of the House is Duke of Tolosa in the right of Garza, however this title follows male-only succession. It has been held by every head of the house since 1049, except for on one occasion. This has occurred on one occasion, when Maria I, Duchess of Adrianople married her uncle Philip I Claudius, Duke of Tolosa, and the titles re-merged with the tenure of their oldest son John II, Duke of Adrianople.
