The House of Abellán, also referred to as the Princes of Abellán, is a Scipian royal house of Latin origin, and a branch of the Miramonte-del Villar-Jeque dynasty, one of the most dominant houses of the Most Magnificent Republic of Aligonia. The House of Abellán had been a minor house for the majority of Aligonian history, however, after the occupation of Gran Aligonia during the West Scipian Wars by Yisraeli forces, the House of Abellán rose through the ranks in the new geopoltical paradigm which developed on the island, becoming prominent rivals of the unpopular prewar ruling house and fellow former Big Five member, the House of Oberlia. The first ruler of Gran Aligonia from the House of Abellán was Octavio Abellán, who ruled from 1950 to 1957 and presided over the renewal of the Archiepelago's independence; upon his death of pancreatic cancer at the age of 85, his son Virxillio Abellán became Prince, presiding over the nation's new era as a tax haven and economic minor power in the Periclean.

Notable Living Members

Veremundo Abellán

Veremundo Leonardo Abellán (30 January 1969 -) is the oldest male member of the House of Abellán, and the last prince of Gran Aligonia, reigning from coronation after his father's late death on 15 March 2019 to his abdication on 31 January 2020. Long noted for his polite and indifferent demeanor, upon his coronation, Veremundo was found at the center of increasing controversy about Gran Aligonia's direction in the 21st century, with many believing that Virxilio's long reign had crippled the nation's economic prospects by turning it from an assertive and independent state into one ostensibly in line with both political and economic interests of the Western Monarchies, of which Gran Aligonia had only been a tentative member before its liberation from Yisraeli control.

In 2019, due to growing unrest, Veremundo agreed with Leuter Sion of the AAFT party that monarchy in Gran Aligonia should come to an end, officially abdicating his country's power on 31 January, 2020. Although he initially indicated he was running himself, he since retracted from poltiics after questions arose from both reformists and conservatives as to whether it was morally sound for a former monarch to contend politically in a Democratic Election. After his reign's end, Veremundo has become a polarizing and silent figure in Gran Aligonian politics.

In 1991, Veremundo married Nicanora Del Oro, of the Del Oro family of Tardosa, thus linking the Abellán and Del Oro families, both of the "Big Five", through political alliance. He had a son, Verucio, in 1993, and a daughter, Catalia, in 1996. He is noted for his love of sports, particularly long-distance sailing.
