Same as the British throne. Kill your kin and inherit the Kingdom. Remember the schmuck who killed his nephews and buried them in the Tower of London. Recently dug up the poor kids' bones. All over Europe kingdoms were overthrown and present kings are abdicating their thrones. It's a boring life unveiling statues, listening to boring old speeches about BS, shaking thousands of strange hands of people who you'll never see again. Glad the kingdom was overthrown by white businessmen trying to build a sugar and pineapple industry. Eventually it made Hawaii an important destination and a military stronghold in the middle of the Pacific. The bigger guy beat the smaller one.
