Edict of Succession - invocation of the right of a daughter of a previous king taking the family name and becoming eligible to continue the royal line, forcing her spouse to take her surname; drafted by Sean Suthar-Màrtainn in 1701 and used twice
Constitutional Crisis of 1903: when writing constitution in 1829-1830, Rih (king) Luthais Suthar-Màrtainn agreed to put off the issue of extending the franchise to male landed voters for their local Vicars, because he was a liberal twit but not that liberal. In 1900, the issue was brought up at its due-by date and Rih Ruaridh Suthar-Màrtainn delayed and delayed because nobody else in the royal family ever wanted that, he was young and impressionable, and those rights would landslide into a massive loss of royal authority. He delays until trying to amend that part of the constitution out entirely in 1903, which launches massive protest before he concedes in late 1905. The Vicars demand their positions be secured by bloodline again to prevent retaliatory appointments (which were already occuring at that point), while other people are clamoring for industrial regulation, Constitutionalists are demanding all-male suffrage to elect Vicars, and Cananach's republican radicals are demanding the creation of a senate and the loss of the king's right to declare wars and levy taxes along with elected vicars. The Socialists want an abolished monarchy entirely. Ruaridh decides it's easier to just have the representatives the Vicariates sent to court hung for treason, and then orders the Socialist and Cananach + his inner circle rooted out and shot, because he's like 19 and his folks urge him to. He gets bombed, civil war commences.
