nope, one gets the ruling the kingdom, the other one is given a segment of land a their part of the line is no longer royalty, but nobility

Interesting question! It must suck being born the youngest in royalty.

youngest in royalty were, traditionally either sent for a military career or made join the cleric (if they were boys) . Girls always got married regardless.

this is, strictly speaking of the medieval ages period, which was what I assumed the question was centered around

Idea and what if that oldest prince who becomes king dies? Does the next prince become royalty and no longer nobility? I never understood the difference..

Phadia I want to learn all about this but I have no resources. :\ it sucks!

Just gonna lurk here now, because I'm secretly interested as well! ^^ Though, just sayin', you could probably find quite a few documentaries on YouTube about royalty. *shrugs* You know, if you're interested.

Trust me, I have. ;; there wasn't much.

I´m just going off what I was taught were the rules of succession in Europe and Asia. To answer your question, if the oldest dies, then his first male child (if of age) rules. If they are not of age, then the mother acts as a regent until the child is of age. If there are only female children, however is married to the oldest rules. If none of the previous were possible, then the next sibling rules.

If all direct family members are exhausted, then an uncle rules. If that too is impossible, the country goes into a crisis of succession.

Dude.. Thank you so much for that info. I appreciate it so much!
