He also can’t be held liable for it if he were to say, kill the Empress in public. The Varangian Guard is loyal to the Throne, no matter who sits on it, so he would become Emperor and legally nobody could do anything about it.

OOC: Does this mean that the archprince of thiranaedh could kill the empress in public and seize the throne? Also, totally unrelated question: is there a Meillur-based airline that offers flights to Rome? Preferably one with a tolerant policy about bringing weapons on board.

Pretty sure that’s called terrorism.

Is the Archprince a member of the Imperial Dynasty?

OOC: Didn't know regicide was reserved to the imperial dynasty. forgive me for overlooking a point you hadn't clarified. Could the archprince of Thiranaedh not simply claim to be part of the imperial dynasty by means of finding a common ancestor? who decides who is and who isn't a member of the imperial dynasty?

OOC: I couldn't possibly comment :D

Is he related to a Roman Emperor?

Given the Ojeras and their bastard’s lineage is shaped more like a wreath than a tree, unlikely

If you go back far enough, just about anybody could be, right?

I mean yea, the Caesarean Dynasty were just related to the most and the leaders of the Federation Movement, thus they became the Imperial Family of Imperia, and their head, the Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans, Emperor Augustus II.

He was assasinated tho, and then Princess of the Youth, Julia ascended to the Imperial Purple.

Depends, and also depends on what counts as a Roman emperor

IEL, lineage can be traced back to the Byzantine ones, but no one can reliably trace back to those before the fall of the Rome

Good for political longevity, bad for human longevity

This is why it’s good to have clear clean rules of succession and a royal origin point.

For Riessany it’s boys, eldest to youngest, and if no boys, to eldest girl’s son or senior boy descendant.

And they must be a legitimate descendant of Taylor of Riessany

In Imperia, the bloodlines are to complicated, you just have to be related to the previous emperor from from the side of their family related to the Emperor before them.

Or wait, no, nvm, they have to be a descendent of Princess Stefania de Caesaris. Adopted children may not inherit the throne unless they are related to the Emperor by blood (I.e. a niece or nephew or distant relative adopted by the Emperor).

If you are related by blood and get adopted by the emperor, do you jump up the line?

Are all Meioluran Monarchs related to the Valwa or Volonte?

No.

Absolute Primogeniture.

I think about half are.

Some more distantly than others.

King Berengar’s great-great-great-great-great-grandmother was a Deritain princess.

Does Reissany have any eligible Princes/Princesses?
