William the Conqueror was one. It was very rare IRL though. William got the pope to sign off on it.  Jon has the best claim followed by Dany assuming it was a fair world, if Gendry was legitimate he would have a better claim arguably better than Jon's. House Targaryen has equal rights succession law in regards to males/females, but Jon was the legitimate son of the crown prince, Dany was the legitimate daughter of the King and lines of succession go down the eldest borns line, not the monarchs other kids at least in terms of priority. Its the same law as the House of Windsor, so Charles, William, George is the main line and Charlottes ahead of William. If Charlotte was older than George she would be the ahead, under the old rules a female would only inherit if there was no male heir an some houses/country's females couldn't inherit full stop and things could get messy and a cousin could end up with the throne or whatever.  A son could also take his fathers name if born to a Queen as well, and that is how we ended up with the House of Windsor as Victoria was the last of her dynasty IIRC. I may or may not play Crusader Kings. There may or may not be a GoT mod for it.</blockquote>
