	Agnatic Seniority Encyclopedia Article @ Reigned.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Succession based on agnatic seniority or rotation was often limited to those princes who were sons of an earlier reigning monarch.
		Therefore, "pure" agnatic succession was impossible to maintain, and frequent exceptions were made - eligibility being granted to the eldest sons of sisters or other female relatives of the monarch.
		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.

	Rules of noble succession
		When we discuss succession, we should define whether we mean the succession to the nobility (that is, which family members in the next generation will inherit the name, the arms and the quality of continuing the family line), and the succession to the headship of a noble family.
		The vast majority of all noble families have agnatic succession, meaning both sons and daughters of a noble father are noble, but only the grandchildren of the sons (and not of the daughters) are noble.
		Cognatic succession is, for practical genealogical purposes, only relevant in a few cases where it can be shown that this was indeed the original form of noble succession of the family, and there is an unbroken chain of succession from these (ancient) times down till today.

		And no other scheme of succession was in those times heard of, until the praetors, by gradually mitigating to the best of their ability the harshness of the civil law, or by filling up voids in the old system, provided through their edicts a new one.
		Mere cognation was thus in its various degrees recognized as a title to succession, and the praetors gave relief to such females through the possession of goods, which they promised to them in that part of the edict by which cognates are called to the succession.
		There were other kinds of universal succession in existence prior to that last before mentioned; for instance, the ‘purchase of goods’ which was introduced with many prolixities of form for the sale of insolvent debtors’ estates, and which remained in use under the so-called ‘ordinary’ system of procedure.

		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 ale line.These genealogical ways to organize succession fulfill the prerequisites of the Salic law.
