The Husainid dynasty of the erstwhile Kingdom of Tunisia followed the Ottoman practice of agnatic seniority, whereby the eldest surviving male in a generation would succeed to the throne. Though the Tunisian monarchy was abolished in 1957 in favour of a republic, the dynasty continues to adhere to this succession principle.[citation needed]

Line of succession to the former Badener throne

The monarchy in Baden came to an end in 1918 along with the rest of the monarchies that made up the German Empire. The last sovereign was Grand Duke Frederick II who abdicated at Karlsruhe, 14–22 November 1918.[1] The current head of the Grand Ducal House is Maximilian, Margrave of Baden and Duke of Zähringen.

History

Near extinction

In the early 19th century the grand ducal house was on the verge of extinction. By 1817 the only male members of the family were the reigning Grand Duke Charles and his unmarried uncle Prince Louis. In the event that the male line died out the throne would pass to King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria. The only alternative to this was for the grand duke to recognise his morganatic uncles Leopold, William and Maximilian, the Counts von Hochberg as dynastic members of the grand ducal family. On 4 October 1817 Grand Duke Charles took this step issuing a new house law recognising his uncles as Princes of Baden. The Hochberg’s right of succession was recognised by the Great Powers on 10 July 1819.[2] The former Count Leopold von Hochberg succeeded as Grand Duke in 1830 and his descendants went on to rule Baden until 1918. By the early 20th century the succession was once again insecure with the future of the dynasty resting on Prince Berthold of Baden.[3]

Kasper Hauser

Main article: Kasper Hauser

According to contemporary rumours – probably current as early as 1829 – Kaspar Hauser was the son of Grand Duke Charles who was born on 29 September 1812, and who, according to known history, had died on 16 October 1812. It was alleged that this prince had been switched with a dying baby, and had subsequently surfaced 16 years later as Kaspar Hauser in Nuremberg. These theories linking him with the princely House of Baden have long since been rejected by professional historians.

Succession law

The succession law is Semi-Salic, with the succession hereditary among the male members. However, in the event of the extinction of the male line the succession could be transmitted to princesses and their descendants.[2]

Line of succession in 1918

  • Leopold I, Grand Duke of Baden (1790-1852)

      • (1) Prince Max of Baden (born 1867)
        • (2) Prince Berthold of Baden (born 1906)

The Greek monarchy was abolished by the then-ruling military regime on 1 June 1973, an act that was repeated by plebiscite on 8 December 1974 after the regime’s fall. The title of king is used by the last reigning monarch, Constantine II (r. 1964–1973). His son, the Crown Prince Pavlos, who was born in 1967, is the heir apparent to the title.

Law of succession

According to Article 45 of the Greek Constitution of 1864 [1] and the Greek Constitution of 1911,[2] the crown descended according to primogeniture among the descendants of George I, males before females. In 1952, the succession clause was clarified to stipulate that the crown is inherited with preference to the descendants of the current king in order of primogeniture, the males taking preference,[3] i.e., the sovereign’s sons (and their descendants, in respective order) inherit according to seniority of age among siblings with males before females, followed by the sovereign’s daughters (and their descendants, in respective order) in like manner.

Current situation

  • King Paul (1901–1964)
    • King Constantine II (born 1940)
      • (1) Crown Prince Pavlos (b. 1967)
        • (2) Prince Constantine-Alexios (b. 1998)

Line of succession to the former Portuguese throne

The Portuguese monarchy was abolished on 5 October 1910, when King Manuel II was deposed following a republican revolution. The present head of the House of Braganza, the former ruling house, is Duarte Pio, Duke of Braganza, a position he has held since the death of his father, Duarte Nuno, in 1976.[1] The succession law for the former Portuguese throne was male-preference cognatic primogeniture.[1][2]

Rules of succession

The 1822, 1826 and 1838 constitutions, as well as the 1842 revival of the 1826 constitutional charter, confirmed cognatic primogeniture among the legitimate issue of the then-reigning monarch and, in case of their extinction, among collateral descendants of the Braganza dynasty.[3] That had been the customary succession in pre-constitutional Portugal.[2]

The 1838 constitution was replaced in 1842 by reviving the 1826 Constitutional Charter of Portugal. Among other things, the 1826 charter stipulated that, should there be no eligible descendants of Maria II of Portugal, the crown would pass to a collateral heir.[2]

Maria II has living legitimate descendants today, but they are not Portuguese citizens and make no claim to represent the royal line of Portugal.

Prince Miguel, Duke of Viseu, the eldest son of Miguel, Duke of Braganza, renounced his succession rights for himself and his descendants on 21 July 1920.

Line of succession in October 1910

  • Queen Maria II (1819–1853)
    • King Luís I (1838–1889)
      • King Carlos I (1863–1908)
        • King Manuel II (born 1889)
      • (1) Infante Afonso, Prince Royal and Duke of Porto (b. 1865)
    • (2) Infanta Antónia, Princess of Hohenzollern (b. 1845)
