ErikAzog 3313 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) THE ROYAL SUCCESION OF BALIAN Regnum de Balian The Succession The CROWN OF BALIAN follows Absolute Cognatic Primogeniture, which means that the eldest child of the reigning monarch inherits the throne regardless of their gender. Males and Females are regarded as equal, afforded the same rights to inheritance. Upon the death of the present reigning monarch, the eldest child is the throne’s sole inheritor, followed by the heir’s own children in order of birth. Should the eldest child of the ruler predecease the monarch and sire no heirs of their body, the throne would then pass to the second-eldest child of the monarch and their heirs, in order of birth.. This would continue with each child and their heirs. Should the monarch have no living children or grandchildren, the throne would then pass to the monarch’s eldest sibling and their heirs. In the absence of any siblings, and their heirs, the throne would pass to the eldest uncle or aunt of the monarch, and their heirs. In the event that there are no living heirs to the throne of Balian, a succession council would be called to determine the future of the throne’s inheritance. Individuals are excluded from the succession if they already hold titles in a foreign realm or stand to inherit titles in a foreign realm. The monarch may likewise disqualify an individual from the succession by issuing a royal writ of disinheritance. All heirs to the throne claim descent from His Royal Majesty, King John I of Balian. The Children of the Crown The heirs of the monarch are viewed as integral members of the kingdom and the royal household, born with the purpose of representing the Crown and its interests. For this reason, they’re afforded lifetime titles befitting of their birth and place within the royal succession. The eldest child of the ruling monarch, upon their birth, is named the Prince or Princess of Monterosa, with the Duchy of Atrus as a subsidiary title. In the event of the heir’s death, these titles are passed onto the next heir, as per the succession listed above. Upon the ascension of the heir to the throne of Balian, these titles merge with the Crown until a subsequent heir is born or named by the new monarch. The eldest daughter of the ruling monarch, upon their birth, is named the Princess Royal of Balian, with the County of Rosemoor as a subsidiary title. These titles may only be passed onto the next eldest daughter of a monarch upon the death of the previous holder, ensuring no two Princesses Royal exist concurrently. If the heir to the throne is female, the next eldest daughter will receive these titles. For any information regarding the structure upon which Balian addresses their Royalty, refer to : Here!! As the Star of St. Lothar has four greater points, so too does the Crown afford four royal counties to be held by princes and princesses of the kingdom. These titles are chosen either by the monarch or by the individual child. They may be granted at birth or when the child reaches the age of majority. Amendment: The Title Duchy of Abretta is moved to the Royal Counties of Balian in favor of Duchy of Atrus for the heir's possession. The Royal Counties: The County of Abretta The County of Pavano The County of Caluzzo The County of Senna The County of Pontazuro These titles are held for the person’s lifetime. Upon their death, the title will revert to the Crown regardless of if the prince or princess have issue of their own body. It is likewise noted that princes or princesses holding these titles are not considered Peers of the Realm. Descendants of His Royal Majesty, Alexander I, may likewise use the name ‘de Atrus’ in lieu of using their royal surname, though they will still belong to the royal House of Novellen and shall be named as such upon all official and royal documents. The Royal Succession (As of 81 BA, listed until as those in the immediate line) Current Monarch: His Royal Majesty, Adrian I, King of Balian 1.

HIGH_FIRE 4118 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Princess Sibyl Gwyneth would read the document with a deep sigh, her name had been moved up in accordance with her prior conversation with her face. She was now to be heir of the land, a notion both scary and fulfilling to her. She now knew it was her duty to do everything she could for her people, the Balianese people. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SapphirePool 1098 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The new heiress's husband, Ezren would feel conflicted. There was a great load his wife had to endure from now on, and hardships will be ever-present. But he knew she would endure. His only hope was that he could hold some of the load for her to ease the burden of a nation. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeSmoothie 4898 Share Posted November 6, 2023 John read the paper, fresh out of an argument with Ezren; looking further down, he spotted the line of succession and froze, unthinking and unblinking for a few long moments. His hand clutched the smoking pipe 'twixt his lips, taking an unsteady breath through clenched teeth. "... my house will be ruined." "Ezren, a king. Poor Sibyl." That night, the man wept for his future, his children, his wife. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chorale__ 1692 Share Posted November 6, 2023 4 hours ago, ErikAzog said: The children of His Royal Highness, Constantine Antonious, are excluded from the succession due to their standing as heirs to the Archduchy of the Petra. The half-brother of the children of Constanz of Balian, Prince Paul Alexander of the Petra looked to his mother the Queen-Emeritus Renilde I and remarked, “This is quite odd. None of his children are titled within le Petrère. Nol even Albert. If they are to stand within succession of Balian, they ought not be excluded because of this claim.” @tilly He then began to write a letter to the King of Balian and ushered it away with a River Courtier, trusting that it would make it within his working hands. @ErikAzog Quote ”Your Royal Majesty, My name is Paul, I am the Prince of Valfleur and of the Petra in the Commonwealth. The third son of Renilde I, and the only son of hers who is listed legally as an heir to the Realm other than the Prince Marcus who does hold seniority to even myself as the brother of my niece, the Pious Queen Catherine. This claim that any of the children of Constanz of Balian, even though we hold them all dearly, are titled within our Realm, is simply untrue.” 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
