    Based on primogeniture, wouldn’t that mean Don Jr is taking over? Then Eric? Clearly, the girls would be skipped…

    So does this mean Barron is going to kill his brothers to ascend the throne?

      Well, Don jr. will die from congenital gonnorea, and Eric is fated to drown in a bathroom after clogging a toilet with unshredded documents.

      Some cultures embraced the concept of ultimogeniture, under the premise that the youngest child would be raised with the full benefit of wiser parents and inherit younger, but generally not too young.

      It’s apparently pretty effective when the culture encourages the youngest child to stay home as a caretaker for their parents, but in terms of kingdom inheritance can cause problems.
