The Imperial Crown of Valimia in the Valtakunnanmuseo

The list of Valimian monarchs is conventionally started with Paul I of Tiera. Prior to the rule of Paul I, pagan Valimian kings and lords had existed, and Paul I himself was not a sovereign ruler but a vassal of the Wilmanstrandian king, however, Paul I's rule represents the beginning of an unbroken line of succession of Valimian rulers beginning from 972 until the abolition of the monarchy in 1922. In aidition, sources prior to the 10th century are considered highly untrustworthy as historical texts dealing with largely legendary figures. Rulers of Valimia have used numerous titles throughout its history such as Count, 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 merchants and the peaseantry. 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. 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

County of Tiera

The County of Tiera was formed from lands gained through crusades conducted in the late 900s CE which were then granted to a Semitar Valimian soldier named Paul I. In turn Paul I created the House of Tiera. This house provided Tiera with its rulers through out the entire existence of the Country with the exception of Aino I who was part of the House of Wesrand through her marriage to Johannes von Wesrand.

Duchy of Tiera

Upon the death of Gustav I, his successor Paul V no longer recognized the authority of the Wilmanstrandian king. Thereby following his ascension, Paul V was crowned as the Duke of Tiera (Valimian: Tieran Herttua) establishing Tiera as an independent duchy. The House of Tiera continued to be the ruling house of the ducal period.

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.

Kingdom of the Valimians

Following the Valimian Revolt in 1604, the Kingdom of the Valimians was declared by George-Paul VI. His cadet branch of Tiera-Arijoutsi was succeded by House of Ikitiera, itself a cadet branch of the same house, in 1617 after his son, George-Paul VII, attempted to establish Absolutism in the kingdom. George-Paul VI's son retook the throne in a counter-coup in 1631. The death of George-Paul VIII only six years later, led to the introduction of the House of Welsbach as the Valimian ruling house as Helen the Great, the only child of Paul X, ascended to the throne in 1637. She went on to restrict the Valimian rules of succession. Following the brief reign of Alexander, the ascension of Aino III and the death of her father, George Augustus of Welsbach, a personal union was established between Valimia and Welsbach. The House of Welsbach would go on to be the ruling house Valimia until the abolition of its monarchy in 1922.

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 taking place in 1922.
