	Agnatic Seniority Encyclopedia Article @ Reigned.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Under agnatic seniority or patrilineal seniority, succession to the throne passes to the monarch's next-eldest brother (even if the monarch has his own sons), and then only to the monarch's children (the next generation) after males of the eldest generation have all been exhausted.
		Primogeniture is the practical opposite of agnatic seniority, as younger brothers are excluded in favor of the first-born son and his heirs.
		However, the principle of agnatic primogeniture later became dominant, although succession to the throne at the death of the monarch could be claimed by any male blood relative of the Emperor - sons, brothers, uncles or cousins.

	Primogeniture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Agnatic primogeniture or patrilineal primogeniture is inheritance according to seniority of age, as reckoned among descendants and then collateral kin through the male line, by the eldest male child (if there is a male child).
		A case of agnatic primogeniture is exemplified in the French royal milieu, the Salic Law (attributed to the Salian Franks) forbade any inheritance of a crown through the female line.
		Later, when lands were strictly divided among noble families and tended to remain fixed, agnatic primogeniture (practically the same as Salic Law) became the most usual: succession going to the eldest son of the monarch; if the monarch had no sons, the throne would pass to the nearest male relative through male line.

		A senior may lend a mask or a horn to a young man from another compound cluster, but he would only do so if there were no junior male from his own cluster who wished to use it for the rite.
		The other senior men might or might not appear depending upon whether or not they, or their close kin, or neighbours, were involved in the dispute, and whether their time was taken up by other activities.
		In this type of meeting, the senior men are expected to advocate to the best of their ability the interests of their own group, but to cede, if refusal were to upset the peaceful relations which are supposed to existing within the hamlet.

		It is apparent that where reckoning of seniority takes place by age, reference to separate criteria are necessary to establish the boundaries of the group concerned.
		The same rule and procedures apply whether the second man (the 'rearer' of the child) is the child's mother's second husband, or one of her agnatic kinsmen, the child's mother's brother, for example.
		The other prevalent form is a dispute assuming common ancestry but debating whether there is a known difference in the number of generations between a number of given corporate groups and their common ancestor, and whether, if there is a difference which some can recollect, it is to be recognized as a jural rule.

		This meant that the group itself became highly exclusive, keeping the kingship within the dynasty and not the wider clan, many of whom were reduced to mere gentry or even peasant status (though they might too share the surname).
		He was primogeniturally seen from a cadet branch of the old royal descent, and thus primogeniture would not have favored him, but idea of rotation and balance (and his seniority in physical age and experience) made him a credible competitor.
		A presumably Pictish ingredient to the situation was that both Balliol and Bruce descended through female lines from the royal house, a relationship not dependable on any Irish principle of succession lines, and were allowed to present candidacy, Bruce also claiming tanistry through a female line.

		Agnatic succession means succession to the throne or fief going to an agnate of the predecessor; for example, a brother, a son, or nearest male relative through male line (collateral agnate branches, for example cousins, very distant cousins included).
		The latter, which has been the most usual, means succession going to the eldest son of the monarch; if the monarch had no sons, the throne would pass to the nearest male relative through male line.
		In its usage of hereditary monarchies since 15th century, aiming at agnatic succession, the Salic law is regarded as excluding all females from the succession as well as prohibiting succession rights to transfer through any woman.

		Salic Law (also called Agnatic Succession) is the complete exclusion of females of the dynasty and their descendants from the succession.
		Though Princess Y is the current king's eldest daughter, her cousin Princess X is senior, thus the latter would become Queen X. In practice, on occasions when there exists no male heir in a semi-Salic system, the female heir is usually determined more "pragmatically", by proximity of blood to the current monarch.
		And, if the royal house is more extensive, (male) cousins and so forth succeed, in order of seniority, which may depend upon actual age or upon the seniority between their fathers.

		The usual hereditary succession is based on some cognatic principles and on seniority, though sometimes merit has played a part.
		Thus, the most common hereditary system in feudal Europe was based on cognatic primogeniture, where a lord was succeeded by his eldest son, and failing sons, by either daughters or by sons of daughters.
		In some monarchies, such as Saudi Arabia, succession to the throne usually first passes to the monarch's next eldest brother, and only after that to the monarch's children (agnatic seniority).

	The structural articulation of generations in Africa
		All turns upon the parent-child relationship, senior to junior, and what gives this relationship its especial force is its setting within the corporate organization of lineage groups.
		The situation is very different for eastern and southern Bantu, where larger lineage groupings certainly exist but where the emphasis in the corporate organization of kin-groupings lies rather at the lower level of the unitary homestead associated with the compound or extended family.
		The importance of the parent-child relationship is such that it is extended, both terminologically and behaviourially, to relevant kin at any generational remove, so that a ?father?, to whom respect is due, may be a senior relative of ego?s own generation, of his father?s, grandfather?s or great-grandfather?s, without concern for generational standing as such.

		The children of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, for example, were excluded from the order of succession to the thrones of Austria and Hungary because their parents had a morganatic marriage that effectively made the Archduke's wife and children his private family but not members of the Imperial Family.
		However, for example in monarchies using agnatic seniority, the position of Heir Apparent goes to each of the monarch's sons in turn (contrary to the primogeniture system explained above), and only after all of them, to the next generation.
		In practice, most (even all) monarchies applying a sort of seniority succession, blend it with semi-electiveness (at least, the incumbent monarch confirms who will be the next heir), thus it is not at all totally certain from genealogy to whom the throne will go.
