The eldest descendant
So it would've skipped the princess and gone to her younger brother
Then to prince Williams brother the race mixer
And his sons
Well if women couldn't inherit the throne how did Elizabeth herself or Victoria become Queen?
Let alone Elizabeth I
There we no male heirs
The closest male heir to the throne in Elizabeth's time was a French king
From a royal marriage
A matrilineal descendant
And after Elizabeth died the throne went to the Scottish
And they United the two countries
Matrilineal lines were automatically discounted
Yeah
It would have to be patrilineal
King James I & VI was related to the English throne patrilineally from the 1300s
James I of England and VI of Scotland for whoever reads this after and doesn't understand
Well that's how he inherited the throne
Yeah
If James died
The English royal line would've ended
But yh
Wonder what they would have done in such a case
I guess every man for himself at that point
It's happened maybe 3 times
With no heir at all
So what happened then?
They've been forced to look at the matrilineal line
Once in the 1200s
Then again in the 1200s
Then in the 1300s
After that one of the kings had so many children they wouldn't have to search
He created 2 royal houses from how many children he had
House Lancaster and house york
Which merged to become house Tudor in the 1500s
Pretty sure it would have been impossible to have so many kids you'd create two royal houses because they'd all still be your house
But I don't know much about the War of the Roses tbh because it is so damn complicated
@The State the king got married thrice
And had kids with all his wifes
