King Of Lyres Essay

419 Words2 Pages

The King of Lyres The way the Lyre kingdom works is slightly different to any normal kingdom. When a king retires, the title does not automatically get handed down to his firstborn son, but instead, Lyres fight with the king for it, just before he retires.

The only man who tried to search for the lost king was Charlie, and as the village calmed down, they all agreed on having Charlie as their new king.

If there is no son to take over, there should be a clear list extending to dozens of names. The list is very important to how the monarchy functions, and if the list creates some sort of problem, there is knowledge of who the next heir is.

In Rome, emperors normally elected someone to succeed them, which mostly ended up being sons, or relatives, though sometimes they would appoint someone outside of their family.
