Line of succession to the former Tunisian throne

Jump to:navigation, search

The Husainid dynasty of the erstwhile Kingdom of Tunisia followed the Ottoman practice of agnatic seniority, whereby the eldest surviving male in a generation would succeed to the throne. Though the Tunisian monarchy was abolished in 1957 in favour of a republic, the dynasty continues to adhere to this succession principle.[citation needed]
