The '''Monarchs of Tengaria''' | The following '''List of Tengarian Monarchs''' is taken from the period of monarchical systems of rule over the geographical area of Tengaria, also sometimes called the '''Tengarian Monarchy'''. The first period began with the establishment the [[Vicariate of Tengaria]] as an prominent subdivision of the [[Empire of Arciluco]] around the year 1121, and the second being the [[Empire of Tengaria]] in 1385 as the successor to the Empire of Arciluco. Notably, these monarchs claimed to be Solarian; the term "Tengarian monarch" is an {{wp|exonym}} of foreign scholarship. The second period of monarchical ended with the annexation of Tengaria by the Amathians in 1930 and subsequently the proclamation of the [[Tengaria|Republic of Tengaria]] in 1935. The monarchy was never formally abrogated but is considered ''de facto'' defunct. | ||

The ''Vicarius et Comes'' one of the 3 most powerful positions in the Empire, alongisde the ''Magister Utriusque Militiae'' and the Eastern ''Vicarius''. Originally a military title, over time it became an established and ''de facto'' hereditary executive office over the Empire's western marches, although hereditary rule was not always successful. The Vicarii were very engaged with Imperial politics, and were not sovereign rulers. Nevertheless, the core of their territory largely extended over the modern territory of Tengaria. | ||

The exiled Ecumenical Patriarch Alexander III, alongside the icondule bishops and logofeți, proclaimed the Vicar as the new ''[[Domnitor (Arciluco)|Domnitor]]''. The city of Arciluco was not able to be reconquered, resulting in the new Emperors transfering the Imperial capital to [[Lenovo]] in the ''translatio Imperii''. This political entity, although it was in many ways a continuation of the old Empire of Arciluco, is considered by foreign historians as a seperate state.

Others viewed the Empire in decline as not worthy of the title.

Following in the manner of Arciluco, Imperial succession was primarily hereditary, with all Emperors being descendants of [[Cyriacus the Elder]] and part of the larger Cyriacan Dynasty, although multiple cadet branches existed, coming from the old Ariculcan ''os de domn'' and ''nobilime de sânge'', although the restrictions for eligibility were elevated to disclude bastards and the female-line. According to law, the new Emperor was to be elected by the ''Aduna Mara'', a body which consisted of the Endemic Synod, Senate, and other officials within the imperial bureaucracy, presided over by the [[Patriarchate of Istros|Patriarch of Istros]]. Because the authority of the Emperors was seen as coming from Divine Authority, the Patriarch received a right to veto and also was the one who crowned the new Emperor. In practice, succession was much more stable than the old Arcilucan system and largely followed a pattern of {{wp|Primogeniture#Agnatic_primogeniture|Agnatic Primogeniture}} succession as common in other Euclean dynasties. However, there were notable exceptions where the ''Aduna Mara'' exercised its authority. | |||
The Tengarian monarchy has not had an active ruler since 1935, but there have been several claimants to the throne, following the order of seniority in the Cyriacan dyansty (''Domu Cyriaci''). Since 1948, they have resided within Tengaria. | |||

The following List of Tengarian Monarchs is taken from the period of monarchical systems of rule over the geographical area of Tengaria, also sometimes called the Tengarian Monarchy. The first period began with the establishment the Vicariate of Tengaria as an prominent subdivision of the Empire of Arciluco around the year 1121, and the second being the Empire of Tengaria in 1385 as the successor to the Empire of Arciluco. Notably, these monarchs claimed to be Solarian; the term "Tengarian monarch" is an exonym of foreign scholarship. The second period of monarchical ended with the annexation of Tengaria by the Amathians in 1930 and subsequently the proclamation of the Republic of Tengaria in 1935. The monarchy was never formally abrogated but is considered de facto defunct.
The Vicariate comprised the western reaches of the Empire of Arciluco, with the title of the leader being the Vicarius et Comes Occidentalis, commonly rendered in Estmerish as simply "Vicar". The Vicarius et Comes one of the 3 most powerful positions in the Empire, alongisde the Magister Utriusque Militiae and the Eastern Vicarius. Originally a military title, over time it became an established and de facto hereditary executive office over the Empire's western marches, although hereditary rule was not always successful. The Vicarii were very engaged with Imperial politics, and were not sovereign rulers. Nevertheless, the core of their territory largely extended over the modern territory of Tengaria.
After the fall of the eastern half of the Empire of Arciluco into the iconoclastic Realm of Thorns, the Western half of the Empire consolidated under the iconodule Vicarius. The exiled Ecumenical Patriarch Alexander III, alongside the icondule bishops and logofeți, proclaimed the Vicar as the new Domnitor. The city of Arciluco was not able to be reconquered, resulting in the new Emperors transfering the Imperial capital to Lenovo in the translatio Imperii. This political entity, although it was in many ways a continuation of the old Empire of Arciluco, is considered by foreign historians as a seperate state. As part of several stylistic changes in the translatio Imperii, the old Solarian title Imperator was re-adopted alongside the traditional Arcilucan Domnitor.
Despite claiming an Imperial title, many East Euclean countries adressed as the monarch as a 'king', either out of indifference, ignorance or as an insult. Some have refused to recognise their connection with Solaria, as the Tengarians had never been part of the Solarian Empire, or believed that the Gaullican or resurgent Amathian claim was more proper. Others viewed the Empire in decline as not worthy of the title. Imperial apologists defended it, however, saying that the Imperi had rightfully been translated from Solaria to Arciluco to Tengaria because of divine providence and their faithfulness through means of the Ecumenical Patriarch, just as the kingly right of Saul was given to David.
The Emperors largely followed an evolved version of the Arciculan honorifics, combining the style of the Arcilucan Emperors with their Orthodoxy and universal authority:
- Estmerish: "Hail, [Emperor's name], in Sotiras the God and through the Grace of the Holy Trinity, Imperator and Domnitor of the Solarians and all Sotirians"
- Solarian: "Io, [Emperor's name], in Sotira Deo et per gratiam Sanctae Trinitatis, Imperator et Domnitor Solarianorum Sotirianorumque omnium"
- Tengarian: "Io, [Emperor's name], in Sotiras Deu și ob gratiam Treime Svete, Imperator și Domnitor Solarnū Sotirianūși totū"
Following in the manner of Arciluco, Imperial succession was primarily hereditary, with all Emperors being descendants of Cyriacus the Elder and part of the larger Cyriacan Dynasty, although multiple cadet branches existed, coming from the old Ariculcan os de domn and nobilime de sânge, although the restrictions for eligibility were elevated to disclude bastards and the female-line. According to law, the new Emperor was to be elected by the Aduna Mara, a body which consisted of the Endemic Synod, Senate, and other officials within the imperial bureaucracy, presided over by the Patriarch of Istros. Because the authority of the Emperors was seen as coming from Divine Authority, the Patriarch received a right to veto and also was the one who crowned the new Emperor. In practice, succession was much more stable than the old Arcilucan system and largely followed a pattern of Agnatic Primogeniture succession as common in other Euclean dynasties. However, there were notable exceptions where the Aduna Mara exercised its authority.
The Tengarian monarchy has not had an active ruler since 1935, but there have been several claimants to the throne, following the order of seniority in the Cyriacan dyansty (Domu Cyriaci). Since 1948, they have resided within Tengaria.
Vicariate of Tengaria (1121-1385)
Due to the lack of established formal houses and instead the prevalance of a nobility distinguished by os de domn (descent from Cyriacus the Elder), no dyansty is given for this list. Vicars who possessed os de domn are marked with a red background.
