thone succession oddness

[Alienspacebats]

In medevil succession male preferred over female but what if the child is hermaphrodite.

In most times unless it was elective, the king seem have no choice his child to rule if fround to be insane or " possessed", Do Child have birthright if most noble and king found to be of devil and pope agree with him.

In male preferred gavelkind how land female should over males if more female than male in ratio 1:10 4:6 thing like that

but what if the child is hermaphrodite.

Then they take up religious orders removing themselves from any inheritance and live a quiet but comfortable life out of the spotlight on orders of the family.

What About Insanity one, Where Pope find to be Too Control by his demon and can't help him, Does the heir lost his right to crown and was normal ratio in male prefered gavelkind

 

[Maniakes]

There have been a number of insane monarchs. Generally, one of the following happens:

1. His insanity to quietly tolerated, with his advisors and deputies mitigating his craziness as best they can.
2. He gets/keeps the crown, but is kept politely confined by the court while a regent or council rules in his name.
3. He is quietly murdered, deposed and imprisoned, or packed off to a monastery to clear the way for the next person in the line of succession.
4. Alternate legal theories of the succession gain a sudden upsurge of popularity.

#1 and #2 seem to be by far the most common. #3 and #4 seem to only come up when one of the first two is attempted but the situation deteriorates. Joanna of Castile is an example of 2 -> 3, Henry VI of England is an example of 2 -> 4, and Eric XIV of Sweden is an example of 1 -> 3.

The concept of insanity was understood in the middle ages. While demonic possession was sometimes hypothesized as a cause of insanity, the latter did not necessarily imply the former. I don't know of any examples of an insane monarch or heir being widely viewed as suffering from demonic possession.

That make sense, If we don't know then we don't know then.

Hermaphrodites would never be allowed anywhere near the throne, and in male preference gavelkind the daughters would not inherit anything, save possibly some money for a dowry were she still unmarried.

 

[Harald Sigurdson II]

I think the extreme rarity of hermaphrodites makes that unlikely.
