The Guilhemite claim to the throne is based on the belief that the deposition of [[William VII & I]] and subsequent disclaimer of then [[John VII of Garza|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 [[Elissa IV of Sydalon|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 [[Alexandra of Garza|Princess Alexandra of Garza]]; her heir apparent is [[Christina of Catana|Princess Christina of Catana]], whose heir presumptive is [[Alara of Gaemar|Princess Alara of Gaemar]].

Revision as of 13:52, 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.

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 Infanta Alexandra of Garza; her heir apparent is Princess Christina of Catana, whose heir presumptive is Princess Alara of Gaemar.
