Revision as of 21:20, 25 November 2006

This is a work in progress.

The current dynasty is the House of Glaines-Oldmarch, or more precisely the House of Caitwuil-Houmbertis-Sigurdsson-Alvarsson. The present dynasty acceded to the throne in 1562, although both branches of the dynasty held the thrones of the respective kingdoms long before that date.

In 1038, the Kingdom of Isselmere adopted primogeniture, formalised by the accession of Ethling (r. 1063—1085) to the throne. Primogeniture was not recognised in law until the birth of Berthuis I the Ravager in 1069. In 1992, Parliament of Isselmere-Nieland introduced cognatic primogeniture at the behest of then Crown Prince Henry and his wife, the Crown Princess Christine.
