  Salic law - HighBeam Encyclopedia
Salic law, rule of succession in certain royal and noble families of Europe, forbidding females and those descended in the female line to succeed to the titles or offices in the family.
The rule was most prominently enforced by the house of Valois and the succeeding house of Bourbon in France.
The rule was also involved in the rivalry of Stephen and Matilda for the throne of England and in the claim of Edward III to the French succession (one cause of the Hundred Years War).

 Rules of noble succession
In the case of the original nobility in my opinion the rules of succession cannot ever be changed, not even by a successor of the reigning Monarch who once recognised the family as noble, because the rules of succession were in most cases not at the Monarch's disposition to change.
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.

 Peter Suber, Paradox of Self-Amendment, Section 3
Primary rules may exist in written or unwritten form, but in either case they do not themselves declare which versions are authoritative, what is to be done in case two or more primary rules conflict, or exactly which utterances or traditions are to count as primary rules that create obligations.
Rules of recognition create a system out of an otherwise disunited congeries of rules (90, 91, 93, 106, 113, 118, 228f) and prevent debilitating uncertainty as to what is law and when we are obligated and at risk of sanctions (92).
Benditt suggests that legislative rules of adjudication (statutes serving the purposes which Hart attributes to rules of adjudication) may be changed by legislatures by means of new rules on the same level as those being changed (i.e., by new statutes); hence, resort to tertiary rules is unnecessary.

Similarly, the policy favoring uniformity of result comes to the fore in the rule that succession to interests in movables is governed by the law that would be applied by the courts of the state where the decedent was domiciled at the time of his death (see ss 260 and 263).

Through specifying a succession of states, the rule specifies the temporal order in which we are to reproduce representations of the states.
This rule specifies the temporal order of the constituent states of event B, and asserts that this succession of states follows an occurrence of event A in specified conditions.
In conformity with such a rule, referring to the rule we apply as we reproduce representations, an event must invariably and necessarily follow another event that serves as the condition of a rule.

 The Problem of State Succession and the Identity of States under International Law
Either continuity is ensured systemically in virtue of a positive rule of succession, to which all states (new and old) are assumed to have consented, or it is ensured through the continuing identity of the subject (as perhaps might be expressed in some notion of `popular continuity') which in essence denies the fact of succession.
The point is that new states do not enter into a legal community in which the rules of succession govern the relations between states on a day-to-day basis, but are rather subjected to the application of a particular, conditional set of rules that lays down the legal circumstances that are to accompany their `birth'.
This is not to say that the creation of rules of this type is an impossibility, but rather that their justification cannot be based upon the traditional processes of tacit consent, acquiescence or estoppel.

The kingdom of Sweden today has, according to its constitution, true cognatic succession, that is the firstborn child of the Monarch has the best claims to the succession to the Throne.

 Mamluks in Egyptian Politics and Society, The Canadian Journal of History - Find Articles
The conferees invoked the conflation between dynastic succession and change in the identity of ruling elites to divide the period from the 1250s to the 1800s into three phases: a Turkish and Circassian sultanate, Ottoman interregnum, and a "neo-Mamluk" succession.
The articles are divided into four categories: "Mamluk rule and succession", Mamluk households", "Mamluk culture, science and education", and finally, "Mamluk property, geography and urban society." The Turkish and Circassian phase (1250-- 1517) corresponds to "Mamluk rule and succession" par excellence, whereas "Mamluk households" covers the "neo-Mamluk" regime.
Being Mamluk is predicated on control of power, "reproduction by recruitment from abroad," and "permanent" separation from "ruled subjects." Access to power underlines either the generational gap between the ruling foreign born and their disenfranchised sons or the hierarchical chasm separating the "amir class" from "rank and file" proteges (Levanoni, Richards, Haarman).

 Golden Bough Chapter 14. The Succession to the Kingdom in Ancient Latium.
But it is quite possible that the uncertainty as to their fathers may not have arisen till long after the death of the kings, when their figures began to melt away into the cloudland of fable, assuming fantastic shapes and gorgeous colouring as they passed from earth to heaven.
At Athens, as at Rome, we find traces of succession to the throne by marriage with a royal princess; for two of the most ancient kings of Athens, namely Cecrops and Amphictyon, are said to have married the daughters of their predecessors.
We may suspect that such reasons are afterthoughts devised by writers, who, accustomed to the rule that a son should succeed to his father’s property and kingdom, were hard put to it to account for so many traditions of kings’ sons who quitted the land of their birth to reign over a foreign kingdom.

 Northvegr - The Culture of the Teutons
The intricate systems of the mediæval law-bookss regulating the order of succession give practically no positive clue to ancient custom; what evidence they contain is of a negative character insofar as the weak points of the systems sometimes suggest spontaneous assumptions from ancient times, which were but slowly and laboriously overcome by the Roman principle.
The only possible order of succession was hand reaching over into hand, and the life of grandsons was best guarded by their grandfather's adopting the fatherless, as seems to have been the Iceland custom.
There is no problem of succession as long as the hamingja proves healthy; it arises only when life and luck had failed, and the difficulty consists in procuring a man to fill the gap in the clan, not in hunting out an heir.
