Succession laws


 

Succession laws in hereditary monarchy are used for determining who will be the next heir to the throne of a kingdom, principality, etc. Non-primogenitural succession is another group of possibilities, however somewhat rarer today (as of 2005), but regarding primogeniture, there are three succession laws that are the most widespread in the world: primogeniture following the Salic Law, the mixed primogeniture and the cognatic primogeniture. This article presents an introduction to these three major systems of primogenitural hereditary succession.
