| | Practical Application of Gaelic Irish Tanistic Succession |
 | | Properly, a Chiefship emerging from a long dormancy must immediately resume the practice of tanistic succession, carefully documenting sucessors by testate nomination. | | | The Irish mode of succession is tanistry, a concept that the English conquerors tried very hard to suppress, offering Irish princes English Earldoms governed by primogeniture in exchange ("Surrender & Re-grant") for abdication of their ancient royal and princely ranks governed by the old Gaelic form of salic tanistry. | | | Under the Irish system of tanistic succession (as opposed to the English system of pure primogeniture), a "Tanist" i.e., "heir apparent" or, in Gaelic, "Tanaiste", "the expected one", may be nominated by the current Chief, and may be any suitable male from within his 'derbhfine'. |

| | Brittany's war of succession (1341-64) was largely a civil war, in which the French and English supported opposite sides. | | | The second period of the Hundred Years' War began with the invasion of Henry V of England into France and his spectacular battlefield victory at Agincourt (1415), which had many of the same tactical characteristics of the English field victories in the earlier period. | | | The latter war led to the downfall of the House of Lancaster on the English throne. |

| | In late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Chicago, this process often involved the departure of descendants of yankees or early European immigrants (often English, German, Scandinavian, and then Irish) from neighborhoods that were then occupied by later immigrants such as Eastern and Southern European Catholics, Greeks, or Russian and Polish Jews. | | | By the mid-1950s, the process of neighborhood succession was accelerating across the West and South Sides, with whites moving steadily closer to the city's boundaries and into suburbia. | | | African Americans seeking housing became the main agents of neighborhood succession. |

| | The Power to Change Succession Laws in the German ruling families |
| | (He notes the difference with English law, where the king jointly with the houses of parliament can alter the succession as he wishes; he does concede that, after 1806, there was no court where agnates could seek protection of their rights). | | | As a result of the dispute over the Lippe succession in 1895-97, doubts about the Ebenbürtigkeit of the Lippe-Biesterfeld line had been raised. | | | This prompted a return to the historical view that the consent of agnates was required; the only change was in form, whereas earlier a will (where only one's issue was concerned) or a family pact was used, now a houselaw was issued but with consent of the agnates. |
