Audonian dynasty (463–509)

Audun I (Tyrnican: Audawiniz, Sabarine: Audinius) was the heir of a Tyrnican tribal chieftain under the suzerainty of the Sabarine Empire in the mid-5th century. Audun was educated in Sabaria from the age of ten, later becoming a Sabarine military officer and commanding the Legio IV Vervillia, which primarily consisted of Tyrnican recruits. In 460, Audun returned to Tyrnica following his appointment as the regional military governor (Sabarine: Dux Tyrnica) and put down two native revolts in Stierstandt and Thalerby. When Septimus Taurinus was assassinated in the Occident, Audun seized power and declared himself King of the Tyrnicans (Sabarine: Rex Tyrnicorum).

Widogastian dynasty (509–550)

Audun II was survived by two daughter and an infant son, whom he had unilaterally appointed as his heir. However, the Tyrnican monarchy (which remained elective until the 9th century) instead selected Widogast (Tyrnican: Witugast) as Audun's successor. Although Widogast reigned for just three years, his accession marked the conclusion of the Audonian period and the beginning of the Vereinigung in earnest.

House of Laubbachen (1709–1783)

Following the death of William VI in 1709, the Tyrnican succession was divided between Louis of Valdenberg and Hedwig of Laubbachen (the nephew and niece of William VI, respectively). Louis's claim was backed by Blayk and Vervillia, who stood to gain from a sympathetic Tyrnican monarch. Hedwig's claim was facilitated by her husband's house, which held strong connections to much of the powerful Kürskaringan aristocracy. The decision to crown Hedwig in the Congress of Stierstandt was significant in determining the future of the Tyrnican monarchy, as it represented the first time that a woman was chosen over a legitimate male claimant.

Officially, the Tyrnican monarchs from 1709 to 1783 were members of the House of Varberg-Laubbachen — however, modern-day historians typically refer to the family as the House of Laubbachen in order to differentiate it from the earlier Varberg monarchs and the current royal family of Vervillia.
