This case is discussing the body corporate know as the crown that is personified in the ruler. The rest of the nobles will want to know that the crown will be stable - as instability equals issues.Also that the child will have been trained from birth for the role of ruling, while the spouse of the ruler could be anyone - and even if this one is good at the job no saying every one will be.Also there is the question of if the regent remarries, and dies does their spouse become the new regent - and you could end up moving the crown multiple marriages away from the original line.I think a question that needs to be answered is what is the foundation myth/story of the royal line, how did they come to hold the crown, and by what right do they still claim it. Is it divine right, mythic ancestor, right of conquest, right of arms, something else. Then what is the convention for inheritance of the crown and how does it work, and why.</blockquote>
