Dynastic succession

Dynastic succession refers to the method by which royal or noble families pass leadership and power to members of their own family, typically from parent to child. This practice often ensures that a specific lineage maintains control over a kingdom or territory, often viewed as a way to preserve stability and continuity in governance. In many cultures, this succession is governed by laws or customs that determine the rightful heir, which can lead to power struggles if there are disputes over succession rights. It is a common feature in monarchies throughout history.
