There have been 35 monarchs of Aloia since the nation's unification following the Peace of Halle. A new Kingdom of Balta was established in 1417 from the former kingdoms of Anglia and Northumbria. The united monarchy was a result of a personal union when the Anglian Queen Victoria II married the Northumbrian King Erik IV. Their son Erik II was the first sole monarch of the kingdom.
Before the 1593 Uppsala Synod, the title of the monarch was King of Balta or Queen of Balta. After the Uppsala Synod, the Baltic League federalized and changed its name to Aloia, and thus the monarch became the King of Aloia.
Four royal houses have ruled over Aloia, and the current monarch is Queen Victoria III. Victoria is a member of House Tordenskjold, but she is also a descendant of all the royal houses of Aloia. It's been estimated that nearly every ethnic Aloian can trace their ancestry back to the original co-monarchs, Victoria I and Erik I.

House Aurelius[]
After Christian VIII died unexpectedly and childless, a succession struggle arose. Eventually, the descendants of Christian V through Eleanor's youngest daughter Victoria won out, and they established a new royal house, House Aurelius. Victoria had married Lord Aurelius, Duke of Svea, so the new house took his name and added his title to their own.
