Excerpt from The Genealogical Magazine, Vol. 4: A Journal of Family History, Heraldry, and Pedigrees; May, 1900 April, 1901 Before going into genealogical details, it may be well to take a brief glance at the evolution of royal succession in English history. It was the glory of the English people that the succession to their throne was not subject to written law, but to the ancient customs of the English race.1 In early English times the succes sion to the kingship was not regulated by primogeniture the King was elected by the Witenagemot, or Parliament, from among the members of the royal family. Even William the Conqueror, after he had revolutionized the old order by his victory at Hastings, thought it necessary to be elected to the monarchy, and all his. Successors were similarly elected down to the end of the thirteenth century. Edward II. Was the first King of England who succeeded to the throne without the formality of Parliamentary election. Even in this early period, although the strictly hereditary heir was passed over several times, we find the germs of the instinct of hereditary right. Though Henry I. Was elected King, he found it advisable to marry a Princess of the old English monarchy. Though Stephen obtained the crown, Matilda, the Legitimist heir, had a large following, and the rival claims were settled in practical English fashion by a compromise.
