Monarchy succession

new comment string

Ok

the salic law worked that all females and female lines are barred from succession, so not fully well in primogenture

I know, I just looked it up a few moments ago

ok, and do not forget some other ways of succession

For me, I just prefer the more 'original' succession, where the king's eldest son is the heir. It's a lot less confusing and more beneficiary

that is not oringal

the sumerians had a succession laws, but they are unknown, butdo not think primgeniture

the eygptians did it about the same, but oldest of the cheif wife, not the oldest son of them all

That's how it was with some of the very first Monarchies

yes

and you are talking about male primegeniture

Whatever, I guess

yes and no

What's the no part?

you are forgetting that the fact of new dynastys, they come from female monarchs, or conqest, or a rebellion

That's for new dynasties, they could come in any way. For a normal Monarchy (usually an Absolute Monarchy), the succession is hereditary. Monarchies are for the most part the most stable governments, so new dynasties don't come as often

and the male primogeniture is not always that good, if that male is a bad ruler even before the monarch dies, then the ssecond son is chosen and then the first son has a better claim to th throne, then a civil war, then the country is throwed into chaos, if the first son is not executed

For the most part though, it's pretty peaceful in succession.

you should change your name from Russian_Imperialist_8 to Russian_Tsarist_8

and why not make it 1861 the year Alexander II emancipated the serfs

I used to have an old account, Russian_Imperialist, so when I created a new one I couldn't use my old username. So I added 8, my favorite number.

ok

I'll think about it

yes, but not always

and i forgot adult adoption

not always

I guess, things could happen that would prevent it

no, like the ottomans, first they did a system where first one to constaninople kills all the other brothers

I guess some empires did that, most were hereditary though

and then they imprisoned all the other brothers in a tower, so they do not die

and the qing also did another succession way

it was based on merit not birth order

and hre is "elective" but it was mainly hasburg peopek on the throne

For me, I just prefer hereditary Absolute Monarchy. With an elective Monarchy, there will be a lot more disorder

the mongols were elective

That's why they fell apart so fast after Genghis Khan died

true but also not, you are forgeting about salic law

The Ottomans did it differently then

yes

and it worked, until a sultan had no children
