In 1990 the Norwegian Constitution was altered, granting equal primogeniture to the Norwegian throne, meaning that the eldest child, regardless of gender, takes ( 1) in the line of succession. Sincethis was not doneretroactively, the first member of theroyal family it applies to is Princess Ingrid Alexandra. This means that she takes precedence over her younger brother, buther father Haakon continues to takeprecedenceover his older sister, Princess M rtha Louise.

The order of succession to the Norwegian throne is described in Article 6 in the Constitution of Norway:

The order of succession is ( 2), so that only a child born in lawful wedlock of the Queen or King, or of one who is herself or himself ( 3) to the succession may succeed, and so that the nearest line shall take precedence over the more ( 4)and the elder in the line over the younger.

An ( 5)child shall also be included among those entitled to the succession and shall immediately take her or his ( 6)place in the line of succession as soon as she or he is born into the world.

The right of succession shall not, however, belong to any person who is not born in thedirect line of descent fromthelast reigning Queen or King or a sister or brother thereof, or is herself or himself a sister or brother thereof.

For those born before the year 1971, Article 6 of the Constitution as it was passed on 18 November 1905 shall, however, apply. For those born before the year 1990 it shall ( 7)bethecase that a male shall take precedenceover a female.

Article6 of the original Constitution had specified salic ( male-only) succession; so Harald s sisters Ragnhild ( b. 1930) and Astrid ( b. 1932) and their ( 8)are excluded from the line of succession. Under the male-preference primogeniture applying to those born between 1971 and 1990, Princess M rtha Louise ( b. 1971) places behind her younger brother Haakon and his descendants.

Most fields of private law still consist primarily of case law and the extensive and steadily growing statutory continues to be subject to binding interpretation through case law.

Order of Succession

An order of succession is a formula or algorithm that determines who inherits an office upon the death, resignation, or removal of its current occupant.

Monarchies and nobility

In hereditary monarchies the order of succession is followed to determine who becomes the new monarch when the old monarch dies or vacates the throne. Such orders of succession generally specify which descendant of the previous monarch, or in default of a direct heir, which sibling or collateral of the previous monarch, will assume the throne. Generally, the line of succession is restricted to persons of the blood royal( see morganatic marriage) , that is to those born into or descended from the present royal family or a previous sovereign. The persons in line to succeed to the throne are called“dynasts”. Constitutions, statutes, house laws, and norms may regulate the number of dynasts and the qualifications of potential successors to the throne. In some cases, the order of succession may be reinforced by the coronation of the heir as comonarch during the life of the present monarch. Examples include Henry the Young King and the use of the title King of the Romans for the heirs of the Habsburg emperors. In the partially elective system of tanistry, the heir or tanist was elected from the qualified males of the royal family.

Also an elective monarchy may use some advance election or appointment already during the lifetime of an incumbent monarch, thus creating an order of succession.

Different monarchies use different algorithms or formulas to determine the line of succession. Chief among the lineal mechanisms are:

1. Agnatic succession

Agnatic succession ( also called Salic Law) is the complete exclusion of females of the dynasty and their descendants from the succession. The Salic Law applied to the former royal or imperial houses of Albania, France, Italy, Korea, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Prussia/German Empire. It currently applies to the houses of Liechtenstein, Japan and Jordan. Generally, hereditary monarchies that operate under the Salic Law also use primogeniture among male descendants in the male line to determine the rightful successor,although in earlier historyagnaticsenioritywas more usualthan primogeniture. Fiefs and titles granted“in tail male”or to“heirs male”follow this primogenitural form of succession. ( Those granted to“heirs male of the body”are limited to the male-line descendants of the grantee; those to“heirs male general”may be inherited, after the extinction of the grantee s male-line descendants, by the maleline descendants of his father, paternal grandfather, etc. )
