Requires medium, high or absolute crown authority. That's why an open war is often the better solution. In such cases the only way is the matrylinear wedding, which is rarely acceptable for the men. What is more, the situation is even more complicated if the country has a agnatic succession law. Only at this point taking over will be possible, what, as you can see, isn't that simple. Then you should get rid of all men in this House. All those persons should have been killed or distributed a bishopric. Next you have to count all persons above this point. Usually you have to follow the family tree of the House you are interested in and then find the common ground (moment, when the man from your House and the woman from the chosen one have a marriage). Taking over the power in such country is rather problematic (if you want to make it in the peaceful way). If you aren't patience enough to slaughter dozen members of the family, you may begin the war for the rights for your favorite one. Primogenitural model meets also a big aversion of nobles, so it's possible to realization only in countries with strong central power. This fact gives a reason to have a minimal number of masculine descendants and few daughters (jump to the chapter House: Basics). It's the most comfortable option from the available (of course from the player's perspective), but it causes much of rumors between monarch's sons. Primogeniture is a rule according to which, the oldest son of the monarch takes all of father's titles.

This issue is often problematic for the players, so I'll pay an attention to it. On next pages you'll read about all available succession laws. There are no doubts, that some political systems are more profitable for the monarch than the others. Its consequences is a fact, that after taking the power in particular domain, you have to usually try to make a proper position for your descendants. Each of those countries is treated separately, there is even no common laws about the heir's sex. It means that the king of Poland and Lithuania can subordinate to the primogeniture in one and to the feudal elective in the other. Many kingdoms mean many political systems.Įvery kingdom you possess can have individual succession laws.
