rulership I'm not even sure if another daughter<00:12:40.279> would<00:12:41.279> be<00:12:41.459> if<00:12:41.880> a<00:12:42.300> second<00:12:42.420> daughter daughter would be if a second daughter daughter would be if a second daughter would<00:12:43.560> be<00:12:43.740> considered<00:12:44.279> it's<00:12:44.519> not<00:12:44.760> really would be considered it's not really

would be considered it's not really clear<00:12:45.120> on<00:12:45.420> that<00:12:45.600> point<00:12:45.779> entirely<00:12:46.380> you<00:12:46.980> can clear on that point entirely you can clear on that point entirely you can read<00:12:47.220> it<00:12:47.399> either<00:12:47.579> way read it either way

read it either way um<00:12:49.079> but<00:12:49.320> what's<00:12:49.560> interesting<00:12:49.920> is<00:12:50.160> that<00:12:50.339> Beyond um but what's interesting is that Beyond um but what's interesting is that Beyond direct<00:12:51.300> descent<00:12:51.899> from<00:12:52.260> the<00:12:52.440> King<00:12:52.560> that<00:12:53.220> it's direct descent from the King that it's

direct descent from the King that it's the<00:12:53.639> nearest<00:12:53.760> male<00:12:54.180> Kinsmen<00:12:54.660> of<00:12:54.959> male<00:12:55.260> descent the nearest male Kinsmen of male descent the nearest male Kinsmen of male descent from<00:12:56.160> elrose<00:12:56.760> that<00:12:57.120> has<00:12:57.300> the<00:12:57.540> priority from elrose that has the priority

from elrose that has the priority so<00:12:58.980> this<00:12:59.100> is<00:12:59.220> a<00:12:59.339> bit<00:12:59.459> confusing<00:12:59.880> the<00:13:00.660> new<00:13:00.779> law so this is a bit confusing the new law so this is a bit confusing the new law still<00:13:01.260> very<00:13:01.680> much<00:13:01.800> favors<00:13:02.160> male<00:13:02.399> succession still very much favors male succession

still very much favors male succession even<00:13:03.180> to<00:13:03.360> a<00:13:03.600> somewhat<00:13:03.959> absurd<00:13:04.440> extent<00:13:04.740> but<00:13:05.519> at even to a somewhat absurd extent but at even to a somewhat absurd extent but at least<00:13:05.820> makes<00:13:06.120> exception<00:13:06.660> for<00:13:06.959> the<00:13:07.139> eldest least makes exception for the eldest

least makes exception for the eldest daughter<00:13:07.740> of<00:13:08.100> the<00:13:08.220> ruler<00:13:09.000> so<00:13:09.360> on<00:13:09.540> Kali<00:13:09.899> May daughter of the ruler so on Kali May daughter of the ruler so on Kali May will<00:13:10.320> be<00:13:10.500> able<00:13:10.620> to<00:13:10.740> become<00:13:11.100> the<00:13:11.639> ruler<00:13:11.940> of
