The Guilhemite claim to the throne is based on the belief that the disclaimer of [[John, Duke of Aultavilla|John, Prince of Petra]] following the abdication of [[William VII of Sydalon|King William VII]] was not legally valid due to his minority.

The Guilhemite claim was strongly contested during the [[1972 Marriage Crisis]], which saw Guilhemite claimant [[John, Duke of Aultavilla|John]] marry [[Princess Alara of Ghant]] and his claim to the throne reasserted by members of the [[Monarchy of Ghant|Ghantish Imperial Family]], including Alara's father Prince Alexander of Ghant.

Revision as of 03:40, 3 December 2021

Sydalon uses the system of absolute primogeniture in accordance with house law first established in 1631. Succession dictates that to be eligible, a dynast must practice Fabrian Catholicism. Dynasts who marry without the express consent of the reigning Monarch are excluded from succession, as are any of their descendants. Once succeeding to the throne, a Monarch is anointed 30 days later and takes an oath before peers, government ministers, members of the clergy, and the citizenry at-large.

Current line of succession

First six in line from 14 September 2019
1. The Prince of Petra
2. The Princess Melisende
3. The Princess Elisabetta
4. The Prince Michael
5. The Prince Desiderius
6. The Princes Belandra

Below is listed the current line of succession and their place. This list is limited to the descendants of King Jordan IX, while in reality the line is much longer and contains hundreds of individuals.

Notes and sources
Mark Source for listing or note on exclusion from succession
D This person has been excluded from the official line of succession by forfeiting their eligibility through disclaimer.
I this person is not eligible to succeed the throne due to illegitimacy.
R This person is barred from the succession by being a foreign Sovereign.
SC This person is barred from the succession by marrying without the Sovereign's consent.
XC This person has been barred from succession for not being part of the Fabrian Catholic Church, or been excluded by marrying outside of the Catholic Church.

Alternative lines

Guilhemite

The Guilhemite claim to the throne is based on the belief that the deposition of William VII & I and subsequent disclaimer of then John, Prince of Petra was not legally valid due to his minority. Proponents of this line assert that the descendants of King William VII are the legitimate monarchs of Sydalon ahead of the current line of Queen Elissa IV. The Guilhemite claim was mostly recently strongly during the 1972 Sydalene Succession Crisis. Due to Sydalene royal succession laws of gender-neutral succession, the claim has since left union with the throne of Garza. The current pretender to this line is Princess Alexandra of Garza; her heir apparent is Princess Christina of Catana, whose heir presumptive is Princess Alara of Gaemar.
