List of Valimian monarchs

The Imperial Crown of Valimia in the Valtakunnanmuseo

The list of Valimian monarchs begins with Harald the Great called the conqueror in Valimia who established Haxland as a part of his raids in the Gulf of Valimia. His fifth son, Ragnar went on to establish the Ragnarian branch of the House of Haraldsson. The house was renamed to the House of Tiera in 1109 by Paul V of Tiera. Two rival branches of the House of Tiera would fight over the Valimian throne between 1586 and 1637 resulting in the ascension Helen the Great and the introduction of the House of Welsbach as the country's royal house. The last monarch, Charles-Frederick II, was deposed in 1922 ending Valimian monarchy. Rulers of Valimian have used numerous titles throughout its history such as Jarl, Duke, Baron, King and finally Emperor.

Succession rules to the Valimian throne or its precursors were not codified until 1647. Prior to 1647, succession would be decided by an assembly of the four traditional classes of Valimian society: the nobility, the clergy, the burghers and the peasantry. The only requirements for eligibility was either to be related to the previous holder of the title through blood or to belong to the same family as the previous holder. This meant that claimants born out of wedlock as well as spouses were considered legitimate which was not the case in many other Berean monarchies. One notable feature in the Valimian rules of inheritance was the right of the wife of a ruler to ascend to the throne provided that at the time of death of her husband, their child had not reached the age of majority. In 1647, Helen codified the rules of succession in the Valimian Succession Act which were largely based off the succession rules of the Grand Duchy of Welsbach the legitimacy of spousal claims notwithstanding.

Monarchs of Valimia

Jarldom of Haxland

As a part of the expansion of his empire, Harald the Conqueror conducted numerous raids in the Gulf of Valimia eventually settling its south-eastern coast establishing Haxland. In 867, he took up the title of Liefwalda (Ruler of the Valimics). Following the death of Harald, his fifth-born son, Ragnar Haraldsson inherited the title of Jarl of Haxland. The Ragnarian branch of the House of Haraldsson would go on to provide Valimia with its rulers for the next 800 years with the exception of Aino I who was part of the House of Wesrand through her marriage to Johannes von Wesrand. In 968, the eldest son of Yngvar, Halfnord was passed over in succession by his younger brother Hakon. Initially reluctantly accepting of his situation, Halfnord later converted to Semitarism and took the throne in 977 naming himself Paul I of Haxland. He infamously killed all non-Semitar members of the Ragnarian branch of the House of Haraldsson effectively making himself the sole claimant. His break from many of the Old Nordic tradition led to a tumultuous succession order. Paul I's first wife,

Triune Duchy

The duchies of Tiera, Arijuotsi and Ikitiera were united into a single alliance under Gustav II in 1292. Though initially only a military alliance, it was gradually formed into a league dominated by the Duchy of Tiera and its house whose leading position became a hereditary title was tied to the Duchy of Tiera. The ascension of Veino in 1378 to the head of the House of Tiera meant that her son George-Paul I would become the head of both houses forming the House of Tiera-Arijuotsi inheriting the lands and titles of both his parents ensuring the family's influence over the Triune Duchy.

Grand Coalition

The Grand Coalition (Valimian: Suurkoalitio) was an alliance of several Valimian state entities to fight the White Horde formed in 1578. Similarly to the Triune Duchy, its leadership was an inherited title linked to the House of Tiera-Arijoutsi. In 1686, George-Paul VI supplanted his nephew, Paul X, for control over the coalition and of the House of Tiera-Arijoutsi naming himself the legitimate ruler. However, the eldest daughter of Paul X, Theudelinda, is considered to have been the legitimate head of the house, and George-Paul VI is believed to have led a cadet branch of the the House of Tiera-Arijoutsi. Both of the houses led by Theudelinda and George-Paul VI respectively were refered to as the House of Tiera-Arijoutsi by contemporary sources.

Valimian Empire

In 1737, Anthony I declared the creation of the Valimian Empire. The personal union between Valimia and Welsbach was briefly broken during the reign of Rosa who ascended to the Valimian throne through her marriage to Charles-Frederick II which was not recognized in Welsbach. The assassination of Augustus in 1867 led to Aino IV ascending to the throne incredibly young. She would go on to abdicate the throne in 1910 being the only monarch to ever do so in Valimian history. Her son, Charles-Frederick III served as the last Valimian Emperor with the abolition of the monarchy and the end of the personal union taking place in 1922. He continued to be King of Welsbach in Mascylla until the Mascyllary Revolution of 1923.
