Since I believe it was confirmed on the discord that the eldest daughter of Edward X was granted the title of "Princess of Wales", does that mean that other woman in the royal family (such as the daughters of her brother or her daughter Charlotte) are eligible to receive peerage titles such as Dukedoms as opposed to only sons receiving them? Also, are Dukedoms and or other titles now able to be inherited by a woman via absolute primogeniture or if the holder has no male heir? If so when did this become the case?
Hello!
Yes, I believe that's the case, In OTL there's a good few examples of women being granted peerages - look up the Countess de Grey - so what essentially became the case in OTL was merely a dominant norm fuelled by a very patriarchal society [even the whole "only men can inherit" was a relatively new invention, look up pre-Wars of the Roses peerages, there's a good few female inheritances, and Scotland has always been different]. I imagine that all new hereditary peerages are expressly "heirs
general" those days instead of heirs
male and the entire system of abeyance is abolished. Older hereditary peerages are likely still broadly the same as a rule.
I'm not quite sure if new hereditary peerages are absolute cognatic or agnatic-cognatic, what I do know is that they're now able to be inherited by women and that this is the case also for royal peerages as well. The title of "Prince/ss of Wales" along with subsidiary titles like Tánaiste or the dukedoms of Rothesay and Kowloon, are firmly for the heir
apparent, so when Louise becomes the heir apparent, she gets those titles basically automatically.
