House of Varoche (1702 - 1710)

Originally believed to be a Carrion and the firstborn son of Ratibor, Paul Franz was ousted as the child of Emperor Augustus and his sister Princess Alexandria in the infamous Varoche Scandal, which led him to create his own house, despite many distrusting the verity of the Emperor's letters.

House of Novellen (1814 - 1849)

Following Joseph II's integration as husband and co-monarch of Empress Anne, the Dumapalooza's cultural roots were severed, leading Adria to fall into the imperial demesne to be passed down as primogeniture.

The First Grand Duma was declared in 1837 and elected Franz Nikolai as Duke of Adria despite it being enfeoffed in the titles of the Orenian emperor. In retaliation, Emperor Philip II granted his son the Duchy of Adria as a titular title, sparking a time of tension between the Raev houses and the Petrine people.

Title disputed between Philip II & Franz III from 1837 - 1849

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.

House van Aert (1919 - 1933)

Following Duke Heinrik I's abdication at the conclusion of the Adrian Rebellion, a new Ducal Election was called in 1919. Winning with a unanimous vote, Johanes van Aert, the son of Valentin van Aert, the Duke of Blackvale, ascended to the Ducal throne as John II, given the disputed recognition of Emperor John VIII as Duke of Adria. However, given the virtually-unanimous recognition of John VIII as John II of Adria during the period, John III remains the official styling.
