House of Sarkozic (1896 - 1919)
Following a long stretch of the title having been forgotten and unused, Duke Heinrik I traveled to reunite the house of Sarkozic and serve as the candidate for Duke of Adria. He would host the Third Dumapolooza in 1896 calling for all Carrion houses to unite under one roof to vote. He would be voted in the following month only for his claim to the title to be challenged by the King of Hanseti-Ruska, Karl III. He would be unable to publically use the title until 1903 under the distress of a looming war with Haense. Although the Dumapolooza would be recalled in late 1903 and Heinrik I would secure the position.
