Heir Selection

Dynastic Cognatic Primogeniture

austrian_cognatic_primogeniture

It is a type of Succession Law of a Monarchy that follows the eldest line of the ruling family, preferring males over females. The descendants of a deceased Heir inherit their parent's place in the line of succession before the Ruler's other children. It is available after granting the Libertas Affectandi. In addition to the rules of cognatic primogeniture, the ruling dynasty has preferential treatment over the direct male line.
