Lorens Ingvar Eirikr is the brother of Erik XII Georg and thirteenth in line to the throne.

The line of succession to the Emerstarian throne is determined by the Act of Succession of 1602 (Emerstarian: 1602's Arvslag), which put into ink the preexisting, yet mostly unwritten, succession laws of Emerstari that had been implemented since the establishment of the Kingdom of Emerstari.

The Act of Succession of 1602 describes a form of male-preference primogeniture in which the Herrers Hus reserves the right to implement an Emerstarian form of tanistry, albeit it with a three-forth majority vote and the consent of half of the Alltmåndeskesynod, to elect a new monarch. Typically, this has been used in cases where a woman, a foreigner, or a person deemed otherwise unfit to succeed may be set to succeed. More recently, with the consolidation of the throne by the House of Eirikr, it has also been used to disinherit non-agnatic descendants of Eirikr Segersælla; in the case of Elsa III Marie, she was threatened by the Herrers Hus to be disinherited unless she married her third cousin once removed, Hasse Johann Eirikr to ensure the lineage of Eirikr in future kings. The Emerstarian constitution, in the first section of the third article of The Procedures for the General Governance, states, "Be it that a female shall inherit, her husband shall too become the Emerstarian sovereign so to rule aside her."

Eligibility

The Act of Succession of 1602 also describes who is eligible to succeed to the Emerstarian throne in terms besides descent. A person may not succeed to the throne if they:
 • cease to be Lutheran.
 • marry without the consent of the Emerstarian monarch.
 • ascend to the throne of another nation without the consent of the Herrers Hus.

Line of succession

Below are all descendants of Elsa III Marie and Hasse Johann Eirikr who are eligible to ascend to the throne; there is no law requiring one to be descendant of a particular person, so if all of those below were to be incapable of inheriting, the next heir would have to be traced back through older generations. Inge Marie, Erika Henriette, Lovise Kjarlotte, and Heidi Karla disinherited themselves through marriage, either by marrying foreign monarchs or nobles in three of their cases or by marrying those of too low social standing in the other two cases. It is possible that any person of cognatic relation to Eirikr below would be called to be disinherited by the Alltmåndeskesynod.
