The Correct Heir

**SmokingSnowMan** · February 24, 2015, 03:34 PM

I was just wandering, say I was a king and my firstborn is a not my wifes son but my second son is, would the prince be the first son or the second son whose mother is my wife.

pretty sure its the first son unless hes a bastard. in that case itd be the second son. I know if such a thing were to happen the wife would most likely try to remove the first son from the picture in some way so her own son could inherit.

Thank You!

At the time? Depending on who you are, probably both would inherit, splitting wour realm.

Look up what happened to king Cnut the Great and his heirs! Pretty much when the king dies, everyone who has any claim to the throne bid for it and went to war for it.

I thought this thread was going to address correct historical heirs. It bothers me for example that Flavius Arcadius does not have Theodosius (II) but I suppose he's too young at the campaign start, but still be nice

Yeah, and why is Flavius Honorius 16 at the campaign start when he was actually like 12. With a bastard daughter already???
