The [[Salic law]], or agnatic succession, restricted the pool of potential heirs to males of the patrilineage, and altogether excluded females of the dynasty and their descendants from the succession, unless there were no living males to inherit. The Salic law applied to the former royal or imperial houses of [[Albania]], [[France]], [[Italy]], [[Romania]], [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]], and [[Prussia]]/[[German Empire]]. It currently applies to the house of [[Princely Family of Liechtenstein|Liechtenstein]], and the [[Chrysanthemum Throne]] of [[Japan]].
In 1830 in Spain the question whether or not the Salic law applied – and therefore, whether [[Ferdinand VII of Spain|Ferdinand VII]] should be followed by his daughter [[Isabella II of Spain|Isabella]] or by his brother [[Infante Carlos, Count of Molina|Charles]] – led to a series of [[Carlist Wars|civil wars]] and the formation of a pretender rival dynasty which still exists.
