This book traces the development of the principle of hereditary right to the English throne, beginning with the Norman Conquest in the eleventh century. The author argues that the hereditary principle was not firmly established until the Tudor period, and that even then it was subject to challenge. The book examines the various ways in which the succession to the throne was determined before the development of the hereditary principle, including election, conquest, and testamentary disposition. It also discusses the role of Parliament in the development of the hereditary principle, and the various attempts to exclude certain individuals from the succession. The book concludes by arguing that the hereditary principle is not a fundamental principle of the English constitution, and that it could be abolished by Parliament if it were deemed necessary.
