The modern Kingdom of Mysia was first ruled by the House of Kamytzes, descending from David Kamytzes, Despot of Mysia. Kamytzes's son, Constantine Kamytzes, held the distinction as Despot of Mysia during the Vardana-Lihnidos personal union, and upon its dissolution proclaimed himself Basileus of Vardana, Basileus of Mysia, and Emperor of Lihnidos based on rule in Mysia and descent from Basileus Manuel II. The rule of the House of Kamytzes ended in 1901 during the reign of Basileus George I, when the kingdom was absorbed into the Hazaraspid Kingdom of Vardana.

Mysia again asserted its independence in 1924, during the Vardanan revolution when Basileus George II was proclaimed Basileus of Mysia. George II was briefly restored to the Mysian throne, though by 1930 the kingdom had lost its mainland territory and retreated to the island of Aretias, previously under the control of the Princely House of Bznuni. At George II's death, he was succeeded by his daughter, Irene, and entered a personal union with the Gariman state of Nyrundy. Aretias was ruled by the House of Nyrundy from 1967 to 2014 – though Irene's husband John VII, Elector of Nyrundy was Basileus of Aretias by right of his wife from 1933 until his death in 1960. From 1924 until 1934, the second Kingdom of Mysia controlled much of what is now the Vardanan province of Mysia, including Aretias.

Since 2014, the House of Bznuni has ruled Aretias while still claiming Mysian, Vardanan, and Lihnidosi royal titles.

Aretias utilizes male-preference primogeniture, with additional mechanisms allowing the reigning Sovereign to appoint his or her heir apparent under traditional Mysian law. Under the Kingdom of Mysia, local Aretian succession laws were strictly male-only, however the reign of Basilissa Irene I due to her claim to Mysia. Mysia Upon the ascension of Basileus Stephen I, Aretias entered a personal union with the Electorate of Nyrundy in Garima. This union was dissolved upon the death of Basileus George III, per an arragement allowing his Aretian titles to pass to his eldest daughter, Irene. Additionally, the Sovereign may appoint his successor in certain instances, such as a lack of children from his primary marriage. As Vardanan customary law permits a man to have multiple wives, a Sovereign may appoint a son from a secondary wife as heir apparent if he lacks male issue from his primary wife; however, this eventuallity has yet to occur. Generally, succession laws include the minimum requirements of adhering to Apostolic Christianity, legitimate birth, and Sovereign consent to marriages. At the two instances of the ascension of a female sovereign, her husband has become Basileus jure uxoris, however this is largely based in custom and not constitutionality. Per a 2016 declaration from Basileus Basil II, his only daughter, Zenobia, Despoina of Mysia, is heir to the Aretian throne unless the birth of a legitimate son displaces her.
