Welcome to a new miniseries. This will be spanning a huge time period and I'll be using it as an excuse to cover Salic Law and its impacts in a bit more detail. I'll be looking at three men whose fathers and brother's weren't kings, but whose sons were. Well, technically one was a king, but jure uxoris (meaning by the right of his wife). In addition I will also cover one woman who came the closest to ending Salic Law for royal succession. This first episode is a lot of genealogy, but worth it. I'm including detailed family trees on social media.
