Heir Club for Men	comment	This trope takes two main forms: Agnatic Succession: When there is no male heir there is no heir. Agnatic-Cognatic Succession: Women may inherit, but only if there is no suitable male heir. The distinction is less clear than you might think. It's rarely the case that there are no male claimants, however, so if there's no clear heir (the king has no sons, but does have uncles, brothers, nephews, or male cousins) then a Succession Crisis often results. The threat of such a crisis is reason enough for kings of countries with these laws to go to great lengths to ensure that they have at least one son on the ground who is both legitimate and his official heir. If the king has no son or circumstances seem to be making that problematic, the courtiers may get into the act. A Succession Crisis can be unpleasant all around. This is done commonly with a grieving widow queen or widower king, who is likely to be told You Have Waited Long Enough with great promptness. Even in the fortunate case where the king has a healthy male heir, this only secures the monarchy for one generation. As soon as that son comes of age, he will start feeling pressure to marry and produce an heir of his own. Furthermore, only one child is dangerous; surely you need at least two to guard against tragedy (although this drastically increases chances of producing The Evil Prince, which comes with its own set of problems). This is one of the few situations where either My Biological Clock Is Ticking or I Want Grandkids is likely to apply to a male character. Additionally, it's a good idea to guard against fraud. Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe may raise doubts about whether the baby is suitable. Some monarchs will avoid putting all their eggs in one basket and make the spare a Hidden Backup Prince. (Bastards of the king are popular for fulfilling both these tropes, although as making them heirs defeats the purpose of Altar Diplomacy, they are best avoided.) Although most common in stories about royalty, this trope also includes the common people. This trope is about heirs, and it is not intended to cover cases where the parent(s) merely wish for a boy (or girl) because they would like one, but is only when they wish for one to continue the family name — when tradition demands it. Also: The blurb is a reference to the Hair Club for Men, a company that specializes in hair restoration and hair replacement. The blurb is their actual sales pitch from their website... with a few words changed to fit this trope. Of course, in the case of a Matriarchy, this trope is automatically gender-inverted (though with the benefit of removing all chance of Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe). See also Royal Mess for the ways in which this can get interesting.

This means that a realm needs to have a female heir; princes are sent wife-hunting. This means that, when one kingdom found itself without a princess, they had to turn to a farmakeist to make one.

Vivia also notes that while there's no formal rule about the gender of the Council members, all women eligible for a seat end up sending a male relative in their stead. At least until the end of the second book.

Heir Club for Men / int_16fc4335	comment	Heralds of Valdemar series: Notably averted by the Valdemaran royal family; with Companions Choosing girls as well as boys, the Heralds know better than to think a Queen would be less effective a ruler than a King. Queen Selenay rules both before and during her marriages (and her husbands remain Prince Consorts), and her daughter Elspeth remains Heir even after her younger half-brother is born until she explicitly abdicates. Valdemar's nobility, however, is not so enlightened, preferring male heirs strongly. The neighboring kingdom of Rethwellan is less enlightened overall but still averts this with its monarchy, especially when they have access to the Sword that Sings, a much revered artifact that indicates the best available King or Queen. A side plot in the Last Herald-Mage Trilogy is that King Randale is sterile. To hide this fact, Vanyel sires a child on Randale's lifebonded mate (at her request). In Vanyel's pre-Herald life he was regarded as his noble father's Inadequate Inheritor, being small and feminine; he had a Tomboy older sister, but Lissa was never in the consideration to inherit.

Marquis Bruno Riefenstahl has several daughters, but he would need to adopt Baldur as heir. And after Fiene's parentage comes to light, she becomes Bruno's successor as she's undoubtedly the most senior Riefenstahl of her generation... but only for property rights. The title of the marquis goes to her (supposedly male) spouse.

However, it's justified by the Family Magic being dangerous for a witch's health, so a female heir is prohibited in order to protect her. Only a Sky can hope to inherit the mantle of Don Vongola. It's mentioned that Daniela Vongola became Ottava for being the only one of Settimo's children to have Sky Flames.

Heir Club for Men / int_1f140feb	comment	The Silmarillion: The kingdom of NÃºmenor had a Agnatic Primogeniture law applied to its line of Kings. Tar-Aldarion, having no male heirs and having only a daughter, changed the Law of Succession, replacing the principle of agnatic primogeniture with that of fully equal primogeniture and she (as Tar-AncalimÃ«) became the first Ruling Queen of NÃºmenor. Afterward, the oldest child inherited the throne whether they were male or female.His legal changes were largely undone in practice, however, as only two other queens claimed the throne in the next 16 generations. The odds of this happening by pure chance are extremely low, assuming male and female royal offspring were equally likely to be born and survive to inherit.

Heir Club for Men / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and its sequels play this straight. It is never used as a focal point, but it's made clear that males are the preferred heirs in several conversations. Marth is the younger brother of Elice, yet he's clearly established as the heir of Altea, and the same applies for Jubelo of Grust; he has an older sister, Yuliya. In addition, Nyna enters a political marriage with Hardin after Shadow Dragon to put a king on the Archanean throne. That doesn't mean women can't inherit; both Minerva and Sheena become queens after the previous kings of their countries die without male heirs. In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Manfroy pesters Arvis, the heir apparent of Velthomer, to have a son with his wife Deirdre (stolen away from Sigurd of Chalphy). This is more in line with Manfroy's plan to make a Soul Jar for the dark dragon god Loptyr, but since he demands a son, it still applies. Also, at the very end, when Seliph is dividing up territories for the rest of his party to rule, if a female is married, then she will go by her husband's side, and he will be the regnant of whatever land he owns, regardless of whether or not the female in question has the right to rule on her own. Even if she is unmarried, the territory will only go to her if her brother is deceased. In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776's ending, Finn mentions that Leif is the only male heir across the four main territories of the Manster District (Princess Miranda is the only heiress of Conote, and was up for a possible arranged marriage with Leif), and is more than likely going to wind up as Leonster's king. This is despite the fact that not only does he have an older sister, said sister is the inheritor of Major Noba Blood and the wielder of the Gae Bolg lance from their father Quan; Leif has two types of minor blood (Noba from Quan, and Baldur from Quan's wife Ethlyn). However, this one is justified since Altena was kidnapped at a young age and raised as a princess of Thracia. Even though Altena does find out that she's Leif's older sister, the people of Leonster would certainly be very leery of a woman who is for all practical purposes a princess of Leonster's hated enemy taking the throne. Subtly implied for the Kingdom of Bern in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and its sequel Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. In the former, Queen Hellene seems rather proud of the fact that she bore King Desmond a prince (Zephiel), while dismissing his mistress for giving him a princess (Guinivere). In the latter game, when Guinivere tells Roy the story between her father and her brother, there's one part where she says that, after Desmond refused to make Zephiel heir to the throne, he announced that "The next King of Bern would be Guinivere's husband". At the end, Guinivere takes the throne as Queen of Bern after her brother is killed in battle against Roy. Gender inverted by the dual office of Empress and Apostle of Begnion in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. The two offices are inadvertently separated when the first-born female of the current generation is thought to have been assassinated, leaving an Empress who cannot hear the Goddess's voice. The true apostle isn't dead, though. Averted in Fire Emblem: Awakening. The countries of Ferox and Plegia do not have a dynastic line; Ferox has leaders based on strength and Plegia appears to have an elected monarchy. Gangrel became king through trickery and Validar was a priest of the Grimleal. Rosanne appears to be a dynastic line, but the only character mentioned is the male Virion. Justified aversion in Ylisse. Emmeryn became Exalt because she was the eldest— at the age of nine. Her younger brother Chrom does not ascend the throne when he is old enough, he only does after she dies, and even if you do the Spotpass Paralogue that reveals she's still alive, she's no longer in a state where she can rule. Also averted and justified in the Future Past; only Lucina can become Exalt because only she can use the Falchion to kill Grima, and whether she has a younger brother or not doesn't have any effect on the plot. The exact inheritance law for Ylisse appears to be "Eldest child of the previous ruler who bears the mark of Naga". That last point factors into Lissa's character during supports: by all accounts, she's Emmeryn and Chrom's full-sibling and completely legitimate, yet doesn't have the mark, which would make it incredibly difficult for her to press a claim if something happened to Chrom. Her son Owain inherits the mark, proving her bloodline once and for all, but by the time this is learned it's become a moot point. Fire Emblem Fates plays this straight in Hoshido and averts it in Nohr. In Birthright, you learn that since heir apparent Xander died at the end of the war, Camilla is nominally next in line for the Nohrian throne, but she chooses to Abdicate the Throne, and Leo becomes king.note Technically, the exact legal precedent for Nohrian succession wasn't revealed in Fates - after many children by mistresses were killed in the power games in the Decadent Court, the last four realized they held the four strangest claims, sorted out the exact order amongst themselves, and told anyone who had a problem with that to jump off a cliff. Warriors seems to clarify Nohr has egalitarian succession and the kids are following birth order while refusing to kill each other over it, see below. In Conquest, when Hinoka becomes queen of Hoshido, she admits that she never expected to become queen since she always assumed heir apparent Ryoma or, God forbid something happened to him, her younger brother Takumi would become king. Too bad they both die late in the war. Discussed in Fire Emblem Warriors in Lianna and Leo's support conversation. Leo assumes that Lianna is Aytolis' heir apparent due to her slight age advantage over Rowan, but she informs him that since Rowan is a male and she is not, he still has a legitimate claim to the throne. It's further complicated by the fact that neither sibling actually wants the throne. They decide to become co-rulers in the end. This appears to be the case for the Kingdom of Askr in Fire Emblem Heroes. King Gustav repeatedly lectures his eldest son Alfonse over his reckless actions in the name of heroism, since Gustav is concerned what will happen if his son and heir dies, despite the fact that he has a younger daughter, Sharena.

The current queen is Elizabeth the Third. Grayson has recently tweaked the law to allow women to inherit (with a grandfather clause for current heirs), especially making sense due to the population being 75% female. The Andermani had a better solution: their first female Emperor, Gustav VII, dealt with rules forbidding female inheritance by declaring herself to be a man. It helped she took control of the Imperial Fleet beforehand. "He" is considered one of the best rulers of an empire whose rulers are well known for their eccentricities.

Not only is it perfectly acceptable for a woman to inherit a noble title, the first emperox of the Interdependency was female (who was also declared a prophet). One of the protagonists is Cardenia Wu-Patrick, the illegitimate daughter of the previous emperox. She was never supposed to rule, but then her half-brother got himself killed in a race, and her father named her as his new successor instead of any number of cousins and nephews. One of the other protagonists (the son of a nobleman) finds out that his father changed his order of succession and named his daughter the heir presumptive instead (this is just to allow his son to leave the planet without much scrutiny).

Heir Club for Men / int_2d165a50	comment	A serious plot complication during the second and thirdnote first and second chronological arc of Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, given the ongoing plague-driven gendercide. Reverend Kasuga did not, at any point in her machinations to keep the House of Tokugawa from extinction, consider the possibility of Shogun Iemitsu's daughter actually ruling, while upon taking the throne openly Iemitsu the Younger (nee Chie) herself considered female rule to be only a stopgap and died from repeated miscarriages suffered in trying to bear a son after she had three healthy daughters. By the latter's great-granddaughters' time, the Shogunate and Japan at large were firmly of the opposite school of thought. Interestingly, after they end up with two male shoguns in a row (Ienari and Ieyoshi), many courtiers expressed the wish to return to female rule, if only because women are limited by gestation time in how many children they can bear. Ienari and Ieyoshi each sired dozens of children by scores of consorts and concubines, all of whom had to be supported at public expense and suitably married-off, and many of whom could vie for the throne, fueling succession crises.

Heir Club for Men / int_2da80bd2	comment	Wolf Hall, adapted from the first two books in the Cromwell trilogy, has this. When Anne delivers a girl, all Henry can manage is an almost angry "call her Elizabeth" and stalks out of the room without even asking how his wife is after the birth.note Incidentally, despite Henry's myriad flaws, this is not how he was reported to have reacted in real life; though he had, of course, wanted a boy, he was reasonably content with the fact that Anne's first pregnancy had gone to term and produced a healthy, living child, even if it was a girl, as he assumed at that point that he and Anne would have more children. It was only after a pair of miscarriages in succession — at least one of them confirmed to be a boy — that he truly began to turn on her. He only shows affection towards the baby when Anne is pregnant again, assuming as blithely as he did the first time that it'll be a boy. When that pregnancy and her third end in miscarriage, he decides he's been "bewitched" so he can get a new wife.

One of the requirements to get the Golden Ending is to finally produce one, a task which is made more complicated by the fact that Queen Aurelea was cursed to have trouble having children, and to produce only daughters if she got pregnant at all.

Both the suit and the title always go from father to son, so each Phantom must have always had a male heir. The current, 21st Phantom has a son and a daughter. The families of the previous 20 generations haven't been fully revealed (and what has been revealed isn't always consistent), but it's known that the 8th Phantom had four sons (of which the youngest succeeded him, the others pursuing other careers) and the 16th Phantom had both a son and a daughter (the latter worked for a while as a female Phantom, then married and lived a normal life). The fates of any other Phantom children are unclear.

Yennefer's storyline plays it straight as she's travelling with a Queen whose husband hires an assassin to kill her for birthing another daughter. Yennefer wryly notes that the Queen has "run out of chances to provide your King a male heir". Meanwhile, Geralt's storyline sees him attending a feast where noblemen present themselves as potential matches for Princess Pavetta of Cintra. One prince from Nilfgaard cites his being one of five brothers as evidence that his "potent seed" will provide Pavetta with strong male heirs. This isn't received well as Pavetta is the sole heir to a throne currently held by her mother, indicating that Cintra doesn't restrict succession based on gender.

When Sirius dies at the end of the book, the Black male line extinguishes with him, but he had the foresight to write a will naming Harry, his godson, as his sole heir, preventing his cousins Bellatrix and Narcissa from having a claim to the fortune and house.

One of the book's key intrigues rests on ensuring (via an elaborate deception) that Roelstra's fourth and current wife bears — or appears to bear — a son.

Heir Club for Men / int_5921531b	comment	Persona 4 has the odd example of Naoto Shirogane. As a female born into a long family of detectives she's convinced that she'll never be able to continue the family tradition as a girl and tries to pass herself off as male until she's exposed. Interestingly, this does not seem to be her family's view at all. We never meet her grandfather, only one of his servants, but from the message he delivers it's clear he has no doubt that his granddaughter will make a fine detective and in fact was concerned that she wasn't being true to herself by faking being male. This is less about inheritance and more a statement about Japan's wide gender gap, despite it being a first world country. Naoto emulates the male sleuths of her favorite detective novels by cross-dressing because she feels as if she wouldn't be taken as seriously if she acted more openly female. This in itself is made worse by the fact that Naoto has no problem with femininity at all, but it all returns to gender inequality. Averted with the Amagi Inn; Yukiko is the heiress, and has spent a large chunk of her youth receiving training for things such as practicing business management. Her Valentine's Day date in Golden even has her mention that if she and the protagonist were to get married, he'd likely be the one taking her last name rather than the other way around. Zig-zagged with the Ichijo family. Kou, one of two possible Strength Social Links and an adopted son of the family, is replaced when his parents have a biological daughter, causing him to wonder whether he has a place in the family. However, late in the Social Link, Kou offhandedly mentions that his sister will not pass on the Ichijo family name, unlike Yukiko.

When the Duke of Norfolk says it's impossible for a woman to lead an army, Cromwell reminds him that Mary Tudor's grandmother—Isabella of Spain—did just that and gets told to butt out. As Anne Boleyn approaches birth, he also tries to get the proclamation-writers to leave enough of a gap on the drafts to write 'ss' after the word prince just in case, considering it to be Tempting Fate (with reason). And it's Anne's failure to give Henry a living son that causes Henry to fatally turn against her. The third book of the series will presumably include Jane Seymour giving birth to Edward VI.

Roland himself was as shocked to discover this as anyone. Amber is delighted to learn that she's going to be queen, while James takes some time to come around to the idea. Every other royal family depicted either has only one child (Prince Xander, Princess Vivian), has the son be the eldest (Jin and Jun), or has the children be the same gender (Hildegard and her older sister, Hugo and his older brother), neatly sidestepping the issue for every other kingdom.

In Birthright, you learn that since heir apparent Xander died at the end of the war, Camilla is nominally next in line for the Nohrian throne, but she chooses to Abdicate the Throne, and Leo becomes king.note Technically, the exact legal precedent for Nohrian succession wasn't revealed in Fates - after many children by mistresses were killed in the power games in the Decadent Court, the last four realized they held the four strangest claims, sorted out the exact order amongst themselves, and told anyone who had a problem with that to jump off a cliff. Warriors seems to clarify Nohr has egalitarian succession and the kids are following birth order while refusing to kill each other over it, see below. In Conquest, when Hinoka becomes queen of Hoshido, she admits that she never expected to become queen since she always assumed heir apparent Ryoma or, God forbid something happened to him, her younger brother Takumi would become king. Too bad they both die late in the war.

Heir Club for Men / int_68cc5557	comment	Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and its sequels play this straight. It is never used as a focal point, but it's made clear that males are the preferred heirs in several conversations. Marth is the younger brother of Elice, yet he's clearly established as the heir of Altea, and the same applies for Jubelo of Grust; he has an older sister, Yuliya. In addition, Nyna enters a political marriage with Hardin after Shadow Dragon to put a king on the Archanean throne. That doesn't mean women can't inherit; both Minerva and Sheena become queens after the previous kings of their countries die without male heirs.

Heir Club for Men / int_6920713d	comment	Shortpacked!: Galasso in keeps trying to get people to breed with his daughter Conquest, even though she is a decent heir herself. What's particularly weird, as Conquest points out, is that Galasso has some weird inability to tell the difference between males and females, so his chauvinism is based on labels that he doesn't even understand. Connie also mentioned to Ethan (after they had sex at Galasso's command) that she was "on the pill", indicating that she may be a bit more assertive than she lets on. She eventually gets sick of this and starts her own business, which appears to be more successful than Galasso's own.

Men presumably cannot inherit the throne, but as boys are so rare that a family with four boys out of thirty-two children is considered lucky, this is not a problem that is likely to ever present itself.

Heir Club for Men / int_6a8aff51	comment	The Stormlight Archive: Vorin kingdoms often insist that their views on gender are "separate but equal" (most roles in society are only allowed to either men or women, with very little overlap, and they are supposed to complement each other equally), but inheritance is where this fiction breaks down. Money, titles, and rank are passed down to firstborn sons, ignoring daughters. If daughters are supposed to inherit anything from their mothers, it's never mentioned. This is a problem with Alethkar, where Elhokar inherited the throne from his father, even though his far more capable older sister Jasnah would certainly have been a better choice. In Oathbringer, when Elhokar is killed and his cousin Adolin refuses the throne, Jasnah becomes queen after all.

Heir Club for Men / int_6ed7a5ec	comment	Game of Thrones universe: Game of Thrones: Most noble families seen thus far practice male-preferential primogeniture: the eldest living son inherits, but a daughter can make do if there are no sons, and will come before an uncle. However, according to Septa Mordane, the Iron Throne can only be inherited by males, though later episodes imply succession to the Iron Throne uses an extreme variation of male-preferential primogeniture where a female can inherit, but only if there are no eligible males at all (including uncles and cousins). As referenced in the series and portrayed in the prequel series House of the Dragon, about 150 years before the main events of the series, Princess Rhaenyra, daughter, oldest child, and named heir of King Viserys I, had her throne usurped by her half-brother Aegon II and launched a brutal and bloody Civil War known as "the Dance of Dragons" to take it back. It ultimately ended with both claimants dying and Rhaenyra's son eventually inheriting the throne and continuing on the royal line, so there's one king who inherited through the female line. At the end of the sixth season, Cersei Lannister takes the Iron Throne as the first-ever ruling queen despite having no hereditary claim whatsoever (or maybe she does?), mostly because there isn't an obvious heir after the suicide of her son Tommen Baratheon (the king), and she had incinerated all of the nobility in the capital who might dispute her claim. Cersei's claim mostly stems from her being the last living member of the royal household as well as commanding the Lannister army occupying the city. Daenerys's own claim to the Iron Throne is derived from the fact that she is literally the last Targaryen after Viserys's death; she wouldn't be considered for the throne by Targaryen loyalists otherwise. This is why she is so upset to learn that her lover Jon Snow is actually the trueborn son of her older brother Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. As a trueborn Targaryen, born of the loins of the previous crown prince, his claim supersedes hers (gender not even mattering), and if it were to get out, it's very likely the majority of Westeros would support him over her. Stannis Baratheon names his sickly daughter Shireen (his only child) as his heir. However, Stannis lacks a son and the fact that he doesn't get on with his wife Selyse, who suffered numerous miscarriages and appears to be near the end of her childbearing years, means the odds of a son being born are very slim. Book!Stannis is much less concerned with fathering a son (though he does mention it). Aeron Greyjoy is the first to cast doubt on his niece Yara's position as heir to the Salt Throne of the Iron Islands, giving her a blunt reminder that the Ironborn have never once elected a queen. The fact that he invokes that Yara should be elected when her father Balon was never elected is a further indication of his sexism. In the books, Aeron argued for an election because he disagreed with Balon's choice of Yara/Asha as his heir and also because of a genuine succession dispute between Balon's son Theon and his other brothers Victarion and Euron, the latter of whom had physically seized the throne upon Balon's death. A kingsmoot hadn't been held for centuries before the Conquest, later Ironborn kings like the Hoares were hereditary monarchy. Aegon the Conqueror did allow the Ironborn to elect their new lord paramount and the Greyjoys became hereditary Feudal Overlords of the Iron Islands, and Balon certainly didn't submit himself to an election, so the kingsmoot is less a case of Ironborn custom and more an instance of Moving the Goalposts to prevent a woman from making her claim. In the books, of course, he doesn't deny her right to a candidacy â€” he simply thinks no true Ironborn will vote for her. When she actually gets a sizable portion of the votes midway through the kingsmoot, he is stunned and has no fallback plan â€” then Euron shows up, just as in the show, where, despite Yara having the well-deserved Undying Loyalty of her own men, the majority of Ironborn vote for Euron even after he admits to killing Balon. The one kingdom in Westeros that averts this is Dorne, the desert kingdom in the furthest south of the continent; Dornish law provides for absolute primogeniture, meaning that the oldest child inherits, regardless of gender. This means that Dornish noble houses have had female heads roughly as often as male ones, unlike in the other kingdoms, and in fact the previous ruler was Prince Doran Martell's mother. House of the Dragon: After both of King Jaehaerys Targaryen's sons pre-deceased him, a Great Council preferred his grandson Prince Viserys over his granddaughter Princess Rhaenys (Viserys's cousin) to succeed him on the Iron Throne simply for being male, even though the Rhaenys was the elder of the two and had the stronger claim as the only child of the late crown prince (as well as being better suited in temperament for the job of leadership), leading to her being nicknamed "The Queen Who Never Was". Although there was no violence between their supporters to contest the matter, and the cousins retained a friendly relationship despite Rhaenys being disappointed her claim was denied by the assembled lords. Her husband Lord Corlys Velaryon was more resentful about it. Viserys and his queen consort Aemma Arryn tried and failed multiple times to have a son (in part to keep Viserys's volatile and unpredictable younger brother Daemon from inheriting the throne), and when Aemma tragically dies giving birth via Traumatic C-Section to a son who only lives for a grand total of one day, Viserys decides to name their daughter Rhaenyra his heir. As shown multiple times throughout the first season, from the nobles' constant skepticism to the peasants of King's Landing laughing at a play making fun of her, the realm is largely not open to the idea of being governed by a woman, and there's a more or less overt push by the realm's nobility for Viserys' son with his second wife Alicent Hightower, Aegon II, to become heir instead, but that doesn't prevent Rhaenyra from ambitioning to rule one day, and her father stands by the vow of having her succeed him. When Viserys eventually dies, a Succession Crisis kicks off that rapidly turns into an all-out Civil War.

Lionel Luthor might not have been all that concerned with his son, but when his Alternate Universe counterpart comes to the regular world to take the dead Lionel's place, he makes it clear that he wants Lex to carry on his legacy and be the heir to the Luthor "kingdom". He actually ousts his daughter from the exact position that he wants a Luthor heir in, because she's not his son. (Though her earlier Heelâ€“Face Turn might also have been a contributing factor.) Lionel is so obsessed with bringing his son back to take his place that he's also completely willing to kill said daughter to make it happen.

Heir Club for Men / int_704d43b3	comment	In the book of Numbers, the daughters of Zelophehad come to Moses with a problem. Their wealthy father has just died, and they have no brothers and are not married, but it's accepted in this society that women cannot inherit property or titles. Moses takes this issue to God, and God comes up with a solution that's pretty Fair for Its Day: they can inherit their father's property, but they must marry men from their own tribe. (Note that this only applied in cases like the above, where there were no sons or sons-in-law to be the inheritors; if they had a brother, or if these women were married, the property would go to their brothers or to their husbands, not them.) And if they had sons later, the property would be passed onto them. Even earlier than that, this was the idea behind the custom of levirate marriage: that is, if a man died without any heirs, his widow was to be married off to his brother (whether she wanted to or not), and their first son would carry on the deceased man's lineage. This becomes a major plot point in the Book of Genesis, when Tamar's husband dies. She marries his brother Onan (as per custom), but he always pulls out because he doesn't want to do his duty, and diesnote Onan's sin was later interpreted as masturbation. Next in line is a boy named Shelah, who is conveniently not old enough for marriage yet. Her father-in-law Judah, believing Tamar to be cursed, tells her to move back in with her parents and wait until Shelah is old enough, which she does. Eventually, as Shelah gets older, Tamar realizes Judah has no intention of marrying her to Shelah, and there are no other brothers Tamar can marry. So, in response, Tamar disguises herself as a shrine prostitute, and sleeps with Judah, making sure to take his seal, cord, and staff as collateral. Three months later, when her pregnancy begins to show, and Judah sentences her to be burned to death for engaging in illicit sex (thus shaming the family), she reveals that the father is the owner of these items. Judah recognizes what she did, and spares her life. Archaeological troves of marriage contracts (including lists of which property each person brought into the marriage, which would be jointly owned, and which would not) and other legal documents show that, in Ancient Israel under the Law of Moses, women could and did own, purchase, sell, inherit, and pass down property to/from both male and female members of the family (as well as, in the case of buying and selling, unrelated people). The issue with Zelophehad's daughters was that they would be the sole inheritors of the entire family property, which included land that was the inheritance of their entire tribe, hence the decision that they could only do so as long as they married within their tribe; the child's Hebrew/Jewish status comes from the mother, and tribe from the father, so they needed children who were members of their tribe to inherit their tribal land. In the Bible itself, there are several examples of women owning/inheriting land, like Caleb's daughter and the "virtuous woman" of Proverbs 31.

But the queen fell ill and died without leaving a male heir, but not before saddling him with the additional restriction that his new wife equal her in beauty and other attributes. Which, after many failed considerations, leads him to the conclusion that his new wife should be his own daughter. Because that would be more acceptable than simply letting her inherit the throne. She manages to escape that situation, and marry a prince who thankfully is unrelated to her. One version of the story actually explains this; though the princess apparently has all the traits needed to be a good queen, she would be required to marry royalty, which would mean marrying a foreign prince, who would either take her away and thus leave her father without an heir or if he did stay and share the throne, their children would be seen as part-foreign and this would cause neighboring countries to rise up against them.

Their family estate is entailed, which means that it is bound legally to be inherited by the next male relative in the family line, which is their distant cousin, Mr. Collins. He kind of felt for the Bennet sisters and proposed to one of them; however, she didn't want to marry a stupid and obnoxious person because of property.

Before she could take the throne, her cousin Niall was born, and he became the heir apparent. MÃ²rag stepped aside without complaint, but Niall spends much of his time worrying that she could do a better job than him. Of course, it doesn't help that he had to take the throne at a young age.

A mysterious assassin targeting female royal SeaWing eggs has resulted in uncountable numbers of princes, because the SeaWing royal couple keeps having children in hopes of a daughter who can inherit. There is never any consideration given to a male ruler. However, the dragons decide which specific heir inherits via a a trial by combat with the current queen- You Kill It, You Bought It.

When he became a widower, he set his eyes on the younger Elliot daughter Anne; Anne, though not as handsome as her sister, is very intelligent, gentle, and nearly an angel. He appreciates her character, but his strongest motive to remarry is to be closer to the family so that he can keep an eye on Sir Walter (also widowed), who might get married again soon and produce a son of his own after all, which would cut his inheritance of the baronetcy and the estate.

Heir Club for Men / int_90e2f673	comment	Averted in BattleTech. The Successor States don't seem to care what gender their rulers are, so long as they have the right last name. Famously, Katrina Steiner was one of the Lyran Commonwealth's best and most beloved leaders, and her daughter Melissa inherited the title (though she also married Hanse Davion, ruler of the Federated Suns, making them joint rulers of the combined Federated Commonwealth). Hanse and Melissa name their eldest son, Victor Ian-Steiner Davion, as their heir, but that has more to do with him being firstborn. Their eldest daughter, Katherine (who later changed her name to Katrina) eventually takes the Lyran half of the Federated Commonwealth independent and rules it for several years before sneaking in behind Victor's back and ruling the Suns half as well, which is technically illegal. Not because she's a woman, but because she didn't undergo the five years of military service required for anyone to assume the title of First Prince of the Federated Suns. Thomas Marik also recognized his illegitimate daughter Isis as a potential heir when his legitimate, male heir developed severe leukemia. While his son's eventually terminal illness forced his hand, his reasons for keeping Isis illegitimate as long as possible had nothing to do with her gender. The Celestial Throne of the Capellan Confederation came to Romano Liao after Maxmillian Liao's death, even though Romano was Maxmillian's younger daughter. His older daughter, Candace, left the Confederation to rule the St. Ives' Compact, an independent state carved out of the Confederation by the Federated Commonwealth's trouncing of the Confederation in the Fourth Succession War. The Draconis Combine seems to play this straight, which is fitting since they are generally portrayed as the most conservative and tradition-bound realm in the setting. Theodore Kurita's son, Hohiro, is set to rule the Combine after his father's (and grandfather's) death, while his sister, Omi, is set to become Keeper of the House Honor. It's not a true leadership position, but does grant a measure of political power, including advising the actual (male) ruler. The BattleTech Expanded Universe shows that while male succession is preferred, it isn't set in stone; there have been three women who have ruled the Combine and they were among the best rulers in the Combine's history.

Heir Club for Men / int_90f42a9b	comment	Inverted in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. Andor is always ruled by a queen, and it's said that no man has ever survived sitting on the Lion Throne. The first in line is ideally the queen's eldest daughter, the aptly titled daughter-heir, and her oldest son (regardless of which came first) is the first prince of the sword, dedicated to protecting the nascent queen but not to be elevated himself. Every so often there are minor "wars of succession" because it's unclear which woman is next in line. This is also true in Seanchan, which has not been ruled by a male emperor in nine hundred years, although this implies a female preference rather than female-only system. Played Straight in several other nations, however. Amadicia is always ruled by a man due to their Burn the Witch! mentality against women in general. The Companion also reveals that Arafel and Shienar are always ruled by men in the late New Era. Zig-Zagged in Tarabon, which has an always male king balanced by an always female Panarch.

The elven emperor was very dutiful in begetting sons; he not only divorced one wife for barrenness, but he also produced a total of four sons with different wives. Only because those three sons and he himself died in an airship accident does his half-goblin son Maia inherit the throne. And is then promptly told by his advisors that he has to produce a male heir. Maia agrees that arranging a marriage for him is the wisest course of action, but does not manage to get really enthusiastic about it, and at one point invalidates his own claim to the throne by calling the barren ex-wife of his father "zhasanai", a title reserved for the emperor's widow. As he already has an underage nephew who could inherit the throne after him, producing a male heir is less about securing that there is an heir, and more about making sure that those who would like to see his nephew on the throne don't just have to murder him to get there.

This is despite the fact that not only does he have an older sister, said sister is the inheritor of Major Noba Blood and the wielder of the Gae Bolg lance from their father Quan; Leif has two types of minor blood (Noba from Quan, and Baldur from Quan's wife Ethlyn). However, this one is justified since Altena was kidnapped at a young age and raised as a princess of Thracia. Even though Altena does find out that she's Leif's older sister, the people of Leonster would certainly be very leery of a woman who is for all practical purposes a princess of Leonster's hated enemy taking the throne.

Heir Club for Men / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: The nobility of Westeros practice a form of male-preference cognatic primogeniture, meaning that lordly titles are passed down from father to child, in order of age, preferring sons over daughters. A younger son can inherit if his elder brother dies without any issuenote or joins the Night's Watch, the Maesters, or the Kingsguard — all celibate orders that require the renunciation of titles held or expectant, a female heir can only inherit if she has no surviving brothers and none of her brothers have any issue, but will inherit before her father's brothers. In practice, however, families often cast a wide net to find a male heir among the cadet branches and other distant relations rather than allow a female to hold power in her own right, and may resort to cousin marriage in a pinchnote Westerosi culture strongly rejects sibling incest outside of the royal house, but is more tolerant of cousin matches, especially if distant. This is because should a female heir marry, her husband would take the power of her inheritance through her, more or less starting a new house traced through his own line and cutting out the existing family entirely. This has implications when daughters of defeated noble houses are forced into marriage with the victors, that the victor's family might lay claim to the defeated family's holdings. This also gets the obvious deconstruction that many suitable, even decent female candidates are passed over to give power to men who are just vicious, insane, and/or incompetent, with entirely predictable results. This is certainly the case later on in the books. After Robb Stark's death at the Red Wedding and the presumed death of his two younger brothers, Sansa is the presumptive heir of the Stark family. Accordingly, as the spoils of war, Lord Tywin marries his son Tyrion to her; as the husband to the Starks' rightful heir, Tyrion could then rule the North in the name of House Lannister. Robb attempts to preemptively thwart this when he declares to Catelyn his intention to make a will that will name Jon Snow his heir in the event he dies childless, disinheriting Sansa (and Arya if she resurfaces alive under Lannister control too, although Robb thinks she's more likely dead); but if any of the witnesses to this are around, they're not in a position to press the issue. Unlike the rest of Westeros, Dorne exercises absolute cognatic primogeniture, wherein the eldest child of the ruler inherits, period, regardless of gender. Like most legal snafus, this causes trouble when Arianne Martell, the heir apparent of Dorne, schemes to make Myrcella Baratheon the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, as by Dorne's laws she would be the rightful heir and Arianne has influence over her. Part of Arianne's scheming comes from a plot by her father, Prince Doran, that (mistakenly) makes her believe that he means to scam her out of her rights in favor of her younger brother, Quentyn. In actuality, he did originally want to disinherit her as Princess of Dorne... so she could become the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms by marrying Viserys Targaryen. But the plan was thrown into disarray when Viserys died and Doran ended up having to switch his children's intended roles back around. Not that it matters, since Quentyn ends up meeting his end by dragonfire when he tries to steal a dragon after Daenerys Targaryen declines his offer of marriage. Subverted in the case of the Dothraki. Daenerys expects her unborn son to become the heir to Khal Drogo's khalasar simply by being his child after Drogo dies, but Jorah Mormont tells her that the Dothraki do not honor blood and will only follow the strongest. The khalasar is then splintered by new khals who take the remnants, while Daenerys is left with around 100, consisting of her bloodriders, handmaidens, old men, women, and children. And even then, it takes the birth of her dragons before they accept her as leader. Drogo himself is the son of a great khal, Bharbo, but did not inherit his father's armies. It is also noted that Drogo is a very young khal, leading an immense khalasar of his own before the age of 30. Also subverted in much the same way with the wildlings (apart from the Thenns, who are ruled by a hereditary Magnar they regard as near-divine), as Jon Snow has to constantly explain to Stannis and Melisandre: yes, Mance Rayder is King-Beyond-the-Wall, but that isn't the same sort of thing as Westerosi royalty, and Mance's son is not a prince — "You don't become King-Beyond-the-Wall because your father was." There is one family descended from an old King-Beyond-the-Wall who keep boasting that they should be in charge, but the other wildlings see them as kind of pathetic. The laws can get confusing at times. After Lord Rickard Karstark is killed his one surviving son Harrion inherits but his uncle Arnolf tries to have his son Cregan marry Rickard's daughter Alys so that he can inherit after they get Harrion killed. Cregan can't inherit the title without marrying Alys, and she realizes that, so she runs away and chooses to marry the Magnar of Thenn instead, to get martial support against her Evil Uncle. The Iron Islands ostensibly follow the same inheritance laws as the rest of the Seven Kingdoms, but when King Balon dies with all of his sons presumed dead, there is enough opposition to the idea of a woman (his daughter Asha) ruling in her own right that they revive the centuries-dead tradition of Elective Monarchy (in the form of a kingsmoot, which Asha attempts to turn into a queensmoot) instead. The crown winds up going to Balon's brother Euron, who would have been the heir under agnatic (male-only) primogeniture rather than agnatic-cognatic (male-preferred). Queen Selyse is very concerned with producing a male heir for her husband Stannis, at one point claiming that their marriage bed was cursed because his brother Robert drunkenly had sex with her cousin Delena in it before they could consummate, and if Stannis burns the resulting child as a sacrifice she will be able to give him sons. Stannis himself seems far less concerned, referring to his daughter Shireen as his heir, and ordering that she be crowned queen in the event of his death. House Mormont is notably led by a woman, Maege, whose heir, Alysane, is also a woman. Both passed their family name on to their children, whose fathers' identities are unknown to the public. They only became this because the Mormont men were unavailable; Maege's brother, Jeor, joined the Night's Watch, while his son, Jorah, was exiled to Essos for breaking the law by selling poachers into slavery. Maege has no son, so the succession ends up in the hands of women. Cersei Lannister would love to become head of her house, but despite being the eldest, she has two younger brothers who would normally inherit first (and Tyrion, at least, has shown himself to be far more competent in the affairs of the kingdom than she). (Un)fortunately, she wins; her younger twin Jaime became a Kingsguard and so could not succeed the house, while her other brother Tyrion ends up becoming a fugitive after being branded a kingslayer and kinslayer (only the latter part is true). As of A Feast for Crows, Cersei is the head of House Lannister and quickly runs it (and The Seven Kingdoms) into the ground. In the present day, Daenerys Targaryen is the only female claimant to the Iron Throne, but that's because, as far as she and many others can tell, she is the only Targaryen left in the world (her parents and her older brothers Rhaegar and Viserys have all died when she declares herself queen). The only other publicly known living Targaryen besides her is the elderly Maester Aemon, who had long forsaken his claim to the Iron Throne to support the ascension of his younger brother Aegon V ("Egg") by both becoming a maester and joining the Night's Watch. Therefore, Daenerys is pushed down the succession when a young man claiming to be her nephew Aegon VI (Rhaegar's son) reveals himself to be alive to the world and decides to invade Westeros, although Tyrion notes that it is far-fetched to think that Daenerys, a legitimate Targaryen with an army and three actual dragons to support her, will give up the idea of ruling that easily. Fire & Blood explores it from several sides: Rhaena, sister-wife of Aegon the Uncrowned, was passed over as a candidate for inheriting her father's crown because she's a gal in favor of her younger brothers Aegon and Jaehaerys. It's one of the many, many things she's salty about later in life. It should be noted that despite said saltiness, she never showed any actual interest in getting involved in government matters anyway, just spending her time sulking on Dragonstone. Further complicating things are that her daughters are Aegon the Uncrowned's only children, making them the senior male line descendants of Aenys I. Fortunately for the line of succession, neither Rhaena nor her daughters had any further children. Jaehaerys' wife Alysanne tried arguing against this, pointing out that as far as good king-making qualities went, gonads were not a requirement (this is despite the fact that the only reason she's queen is because of her nieces were passed over). She was ignored, and when the matter of who would succeed Jaehaerys came up (since the couple had several kids, some of whom had died already), the ultimate choice was Viserys, a man. Before he died, Viserys' father, Baelon, was designated the successor over his niece, Rhaenys, the daughter of Baelon's deceased older brother Aemon. Rhaenys technically had precedence over Baelon, but was passed over because of her gender. She later attempted to make a claim for her son Laenor as the only male descendant of Aemon, but the assembled lords decided to go with Viserys. She was thus called "The Queen Who Never Was". Speaking of Viserys... Viserys decreed that in defiance of tradition, his daughter, and at the time only child, Rhaenyra would be made queen if he died, to much upset — but he at least had the foresight to get some of his lords to swear to stand by that decision. The problem was, he also married one Alicent Hightower, who didn't like Rhaenyra, and then had sons with her, throwing the line of succession into question. Then, when Viserys died, his oldest son Aegon declared he was automatically king, and since several of the lords who had sworn to support Rhaenyra had since died, their sons declared that they never swore any such oath and sided with Aegon. Rhaenyra didn't take this well. Hilarity did not ensue for anyone. Instead, a particularly nasty civil war broke out, ending with Aegon II and Rhaenyra and most of their families dead — Aegon technically won, but, birth order notwithstanding, he was also such an abjectly terrible monarch that his own supporters ended up poisoning him. In the aftermath of the Dance of the Dragons, the only candidates for royalty left were Aegon III, Rhaenyra's by-now extremely traumatized kid, Jaehaera, Aegon II's even more traumatized kid, and Baela and Rhaena, the not-as-traumatized-as-they-should-be daughters of Rhaenyra's second husband/uncle Daemon (Viserys I's younger brother and therefore a viable claimant in his own right) from an earlier marriage. (They actually had a surviving son, Viserys, but he was kidnapped and wouldn't resurface until years later). Aegon III's councilors got worried, with one of them insisting that whoever followed Aegon III if something were to happen to him (since at the time he's too young to be making kids) must be a boy... until it's pointed out that there were none. However, Aegon III ended up siring two sons from his second marriage to Daenaera Velaryon, and they did succeed him as kings (until they died without issue, after which the throne passed to the aforementioned Viserys).

Because of this, over half the anchoring bloodlines, including that of Hougen himself, ended even before a Fantastic Nuke attack kills off almost all of Donderath's noble houses and brings on the collapse of human civilization across the Continent. This leaves protagonist Blaine McFadden, who was exiled for murder at the start of the series, as the last surviving Lord of the Blood and therefore the only one able to re-anchor magic.note Technically one of the others survives, but he's a wraith so he doesn't count as far as the magic is concerned.

Heir Club for Men / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: Most noble families seen thus far practice male-preferential primogeniture: the eldest living son inherits, but a daughter can make do if there are no sons, and will come before an uncle. However, according to Septa Mordane, the Iron Throne can only be inherited by males, though later episodes imply succession to the Iron Throne uses an extreme variation of male-preferential primogeniture where a female can inherit, but only if there are no eligible males at all (including uncles and cousins). As referenced in the series and portrayed in the prequel series House of the Dragon, about 150 years before the main events of the series, Princess Rhaenyra, daughter, oldest child, and named heir of King Viserys I, had her throne usurped by her half-brother Aegon II and launched a brutal and bloody Civil War known as "the Dance of Dragons" to take it back. It ultimately ended with both claimants dying and Rhaenyra's son eventually inheriting the throne and continuing on the royal line, so there's one king who inherited through the female line. At the end of the sixth season, Cersei Lannister takes the Iron Throne as the first-ever ruling queen despite having no hereditary claim whatsoever (or maybe she does?), mostly because there isn't an obvious heir after the suicide of her son Tommen Baratheon (the king), and she had incinerated all of the nobility in the capital who might dispute her claim. Cersei's claim mostly stems from her being the last living member of the royal household as well as commanding the Lannister army occupying the city. Daenerys's own claim to the Iron Throne is derived from the fact that she is literally the last Targaryen after Viserys's death; she wouldn't be considered for the throne by Targaryen loyalists otherwise. This is why she is so upset to learn that her lover Jon Snow is actually the trueborn son of her older brother Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. As a trueborn Targaryen, born of the loins of the previous crown prince, his claim supersedes hers (gender not even mattering), and if it were to get out, it's very likely the majority of Westeros would support him over her. Stannis Baratheon names his sickly daughter Shireen (his only child) as his heir. However, Stannis lacks a son and the fact that he doesn't get on with his wife Selyse, who suffered numerous miscarriages and appears to be near the end of her childbearing years, means the odds of a son being born are very slim. Book!Stannis is much less concerned with fathering a son (though he does mention it). Aeron Greyjoy is the first to cast doubt on his niece Yara's position as heir to the Salt Throne of the Iron Islands, giving her a blunt reminder that the Ironborn have never once elected a queen. The fact that he invokes that Yara should be elected when her father Balon was never elected is a further indication of his sexism. In the books, Aeron argued for an election because he disagreed with Balon's choice of Yara/Asha as his heir and also because of a genuine succession dispute between Balon's son Theon and his other brothers Victarion and Euron, the latter of whom had physically seized the throne upon Balon's death. A kingsmoot hadn't been held for centuries before the Conquest, later Ironborn kings like the Hoares were hereditary monarchy. Aegon the Conqueror did allow the Ironborn to elect their new lord paramount and the Greyjoys became hereditary Feudal Overlords of the Iron Islands, and Balon certainly didn't submit himself to an election, so the kingsmoot is less a case of Ironborn custom and more an instance of Moving the Goalposts to prevent a woman from making her claim. In the books, of course, he doesn't deny her right to a candidacy â€” he simply thinks no true Ironborn will vote for her. When she actually gets a sizable portion of the votes midway through the kingsmoot, he is stunned and has no fallback plan â€” then Euron shows up, just as in the show, where, despite Yara having the well-deserved Undying Loyalty of her own men, the majority of Ironborn vote for Euron even after he admits to killing Balon. The one kingdom in Westeros that averts this is Dorne, the desert kingdom in the furthest south of the continent; Dornish law provides for absolute primogeniture, meaning that the oldest child inherits, regardless of gender. This means that Dornish noble houses have had female heads roughly as often as male ones, unlike in the other kingdoms, and in fact the previous ruler was Prince Doran Martell's mother.

Since Clan women are inherently incapable of leadership, each clan is led by a man who invariably passes the leadership on to another male. The new leader is traditionally the oldest son of the previous leader, though there are exceptions. For example, Creb is the oldest son of a leader, but, because he is crippled and therefore unable to truly become a man in the eyes of the Clan, he has instead become his clan's Mog-ur (shaman), while his younger brother, Brun, is the leader of the clan. On the other hand, Clan men lack the racial memories of healing plants which medicine women possess, resulting in an Heir Club for Women, in which each medicine woman passes on her knowledge only to her daughters.

Heir Club for Men / int_c02ce5b4	comment	House of the Dragon: After both of King Jaehaerys Targaryen's sons pre-deceased him, a Great Council preferred his grandson Prince Viserys over his granddaughter Princess Rhaenys (Viserys's cousin) to succeed him on the Iron Throne simply for being male, even though the Rhaenys was the elder of the two and had the stronger claim as the only child of the late crown prince (as well as being better suited in temperament for the job of leadership), leading to her being nicknamed "The Queen Who Never Was". Although there was no violence between their supporters to contest the matter, and the cousins retained a friendly relationship despite Rhaenys being disappointed her claim was denied by the assembled lords. Her husband Lord Corlys Velaryon was more resentful about it. Viserys and his queen consort Aemma Arryn tried and failed multiple times to have a son (in part to keep Viserys's volatile and unpredictable younger brother Daemon from inheriting the throne), and when Aemma tragically dies giving birth via Traumatic C-Section to a son who only lives for a grand total of one day, Viserys decides to name their daughter Rhaenyra his heir. As shown multiple times throughout the first season, from the nobles' constant skepticism to the peasants of King's Landing laughing at a play making fun of her, the realm is largely not open to the idea of being governed by a woman, and there's a more or less overt push by the realm's nobility for Viserys' son with his second wife Alicent Hightower, Aegon II, to become heir instead, but that doesn't prevent Rhaenyra from ambitioning to rule one day, and her father stands by the vow of having her succeed him. When Viserys eventually dies, a Succession Crisis kicks off that rapidly turns into an all-out Civil War.

Heir Club for Men / int_c0eae17	comment	In those Total War games, where you have a royal family, only male heirs can inherit. Females can only be married off. However, there is nothing stopping you from adopting an able commander into your family. Some players have even gone so far as to adopt a capable and respected commander and then send the inept biological heir to fight an unwinnable battle. Thus, the adopted son becomes next in line, and all is well.

Then Ishizu and Marik were born in turn, and Marik the son was chosen as the official heir. A particularly potent example: Rishid/Odion desires the position of Tombkeeper more than anything, whilst Marik wants nothing more than to be rid of it. Though notably Rishid/Odion wants the position BECAUSE Marik wants nothing to do with it. And for the sake of geniunely wanting to fulfill the family duty rather than for the power of the position. Mostly out of loyalty because Marik truely does love him as a brother and he wants to relieve him of the unwanted burden, and on a lesser note out of practicality to the family that took him in as it would obviously make more sense for the critical family position to be filled by someone that actively wants the job.

The Aillard line is matriarchal and matrilineal, and Renunciates are forbidden from playing the game; they must vow to never make a traditional royal marriage or become a concubine, and "to bear children only in [their] own time and season," not for their family's ambitions.

There are exceptions though, primarily with Sharleyan of Chisholm, who inherited and kept the Crown despite the shadow of a less competent queen hanging over her.

Heir Club for Men / int_d39283fb	comment	Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter: a recurring theme is that talented women get sidelined for mediocre men due to male preference. Iris is put in charging of managing the ducal fiefdom and does such a fantastic job that her family is seriously considering just skipping Berne for succession entirely. He was first in line despite being her younger brother, but her sheer talent and effort compared to his wasting his time really shows the difference between them. However, in the end despite being significantly more capable than him it's indicated that she'll be ultimately sidelined, most likely due to her gender. It happened even earlier with Queen Arya. Her older brother the crown prince died before succeeding the throne, putting her first in line. However, a female monarch was unprecedented, so she quickly made to marry a duke who became the king rather than a prince consort. That being said, she was still probably the more powerful of the two and keeps herself involved in the state of affairs. This then gets averted at the end of book 5 when Iris becomes Duchess and Leticia becomes Queen, and both make it quite clear that they are remaining in charge of their demesnes after marrying instead of ceding control to their husbands.

Not only does she refuse to acknowledge that it's her fault her daughter is "dull", but she and her husband kick her out when they catch her trying to cover her brother with a blanket, assuming she was trying to smother him to death.

She marries his brother Onan (as per custom), but he always pulls out because he doesn't want to do his duty, and diesnote Onan's sin was later interpreted as masturbation. Next in line is a boy named Shelah, who is conveniently not old enough for marriage yet. Her father-in-law Judah, believing Tamar to be cursed, tells her to move back in with her parents and wait until Shelah is old enough, which she does. Eventually, as Shelah gets older, Tamar realizes Judah has no intention of marrying her to Shelah, and there are no other brothers Tamar can marry. So, in response, Tamar disguises herself as a shrine prostitute, and sleeps with Judah, making sure to take his seal, cord, and staff as collateral. Three months later, when her pregnancy begins to show, and Judah sentences her to be burned to death for engaging in illicit sex (thus shaming the family), she reveals that the father is the owner of these items. Judah recognizes what she did, and spares her life.

But Ta'a Chume, the Hapan queen, never had a daughter, so her daughter-in-law will become heir to the throne. While she gives her son Isolder the illusion of choice, Ta'a Chume will use any and all means at her disposal to make sure no one she deems "unsuitable" never marries him. His first fiance is assassinated at the queen's orders for being a weak pacifist. His next choice, Princess Leia, is seen as even worse since despite being royalty she fully embraces democracy. His final choice, Teneniel Djo from the primitive and also matriarchal Dathomiri witches, becomes the new queen after she dismantles Ta'a Chume's objections by Force choking the queen, threatening to execute her after taking the throne, and killing all of the queen's bodyguards when they respond negatively to this. Hey, at least she's not a pacifist or a democrat. But most importantly, Ta'a Chume doesn't want Jedi to rule her kingdom. Three guesses what religion her granddaughter joins.

Heir Club for Men / int_e9e265b6	comment	Averted in Fire Emblem: Awakening. The countries of Ferox and Plegia do not have a dynastic line; Ferox has leaders based on strength and Plegia appears to have an elected monarchy. Gangrel became king through trickery and Validar was a priest of the Grimleal. Rosanne appears to be a dynastic line, but the only character mentioned is the male Virion. Justified aversion in Ylisse. Emmeryn became Exalt because she was the eldest— at the age of nine. Her younger brother Chrom does not ascend the throne when he is old enough, he only does after she dies, and even if you do the Spotpass Paralogue that reveals she's still alive, she's no longer in a state where she can rule. Also averted and justified in the Future Past; only Lucina can become Exalt because only she can use the Falchion to kill Grima, and whether she has a younger brother or not doesn't have any effect on the plot. The exact inheritance law for Ylisse appears to be "Eldest child of the previous ruler who bears the mark of Naga". That last point factors into Lissa's character during supports: by all accounts, she's Emmeryn and Chrom's full-sibling and completely legitimate, yet doesn't have the mark, which would make it incredibly difficult for her to press a claim if something happened to Chrom. Her son Owain inherits the mark, proving her bloodline once and for all, but by the time this is learned it's become a moot point.

The whole premise of the book is kicked off when a lord doesn't have any sons but declares his daughter to be his "son" and heir anyway. In the other case, a lord has trouble acquiring an heir due to impotence, making the pregnancy of one particular concubine particularly valuable to him. This grants said concubine more leeway in court than she would otherwise have. After the child is born, she is part of a plot to have him kidnapped by the lord's enemies, in part because this preserves her necessity - she's the only woman ever to bear the lord a son, and he can't kill her if he thinks he needs to make another one. (In fact, the first child isn't even his.)

Heir Club for Men / int_fbaae86c	comment	In Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld Dark Opal's repeatedly attempted to get himself an heir, but his own children are all misshapen and he locks them away in another dimension, except Granch, who understandably rebels against him. Then he "adopts" Carnelian, an earthling and that ends up much the same way.

Heir Club for Men / int_fccc35cc	comment	Crusader Kings II has three gender inheritance laws. Agnatic inheritance only allows men to rise to power, Agnatic-Cognatic allows women to inherit if there are no valid male inheritorsnote of the same level, so, for example: son > daughter > brother > sister > any distant relative by strength of claim (but still prefers women with male issue to ones without), and Absolute Cognatic is gender-neutral (but can only be enacted if your ruler is of the Basque culture or follows Catharism, or if you add the Conclave DLC and enact laws to expand women's rights). However, if you pick a less traditional inheritance law (such as Elective Monarchy), it's possible for women to inherit fairly easily. Rulers with female heirs get a relation penalty to all their male vassals, as do all female rulers. The game also has two more gender inheritance laws coded in: Enatic, which allows only women to rise to power, and Enatic-Cognatic, which allows men to inherit only if there are no valid female heirs. Neither of these are actually implemented in the game, obviously, but they can be modded in if one wants. The Holy Fury DLC later allowed for pagans to reform their religions and choose Enatic succession laws as one of the reformation beliefs, turning their Kingdom/Empire into a Matriarchy.

Heir Club for Men / int_fda9c8b	comment	Downton Abbey has a plot related to the entail of the estate, which is a similar issue to the situation in Pride and Prejudice whereby the daughters cannot inherit and the male heir is somewhat distant to the family (he's the Earl's fifth cousin). Fortunately, the heir-presumptive is a young bachelor of an age where he could marry one of the current Earl's daughters — particularly the eldest, Lady Mary — and keep the property and title in the family. He does — marrying Mary (who, as it turns out, is perfect for him) and producing an heir — but there's a lot of drama before they get there. Previously, Mary was set to marry another cousin, who was to be the heir. Then the Titanic sunk with him on board, although a later episode reveals he may have survived.

Heir Club for Men / int_fe4dc9c6	comment	The Chronicles of Dorsa: Andreth the Just, Tasia's father and the Emperor, has no living sons (her brother died years ago). He pressures her to get married so her husband or son can be this. Unusually though he then decides to make Tasia his heir, despite it going against tradition and angering his own nobility because of it.
