Legend
I have been watching the House of the Dragon. House Targaryen seems to have no formal succession laws.
The realm seems to expect male preference while the king seems to try and appoint the successor. It's more Roman than medieval it seems.
Anyway what do you think would be the best form of government in a pre modern era (specifically excluding democracy here). The various DMG's also have fantasy options. From memory (politics 101) Monarchy is the most stable government form military dictatorship is the least stable.
However even in medieval Europe there were other types of rulership eg Republics, Theocracy, Knightly orders, and even a peasant republic. Elective monarchies existed, gavelkind was used.
So pretend this is Crusader Kings, Europa Unversalis or possibly Stellaris or one of the fantasy mods. It's a pre industrial society magic might exist but assume it's a lower level magic.
Various types of primogeniture monarchy.
