collateral succession

These events finally put to rest the principle of collateral succession, which was a major cause of medieval internecine struggles.

Collateral successions are taxed, according to the degree of relation, from five to thirty per cent upon the whole value of the succession.

Unfortunately, these collateral successions necessitated death duties and also meant sale of the family estates, including Westonbirt House and eventually Saltram House.

Hugh VI inherited by collateral succession the County of La Marche (1091) as descendant of Almodis.

Shemyaka's father, Yury of Zvenigorod, claimed that he was the rightful heir to the throne of the principality of Vladimir through collateral succession.

Upon the death of Andrei Aleksandrovich (Aleksandr Nevsky's son and Yaroslav's nephew), Mikhail became the Grand Prince of Vladimir in 1304, as was consistent with the Rota System of collateral succession that had been practised in Rus since the time of Yaroslav the Wise.
