Line 11:
It is often the case that the [[inheritance]] of a hereditary title, office or the like, is indivisible: when the previous holder ceases to hold the title, it is inherited by a single individual. Many titles and offices are not hereditary (such as democratic state offices) and they are subject to different rules of succession.
A hereditary line of succession may be limited to [[heirs of the body]], or may also pass to collateral lines, if there are no heirs of the body, depending on the succession rules. These concepts are in use in English[[List of British royal consorts]] inheritance law.i
The rules may stipulate that eligible heirs are ''heirs male'' or ''heirs general'' – see further [[primogeniture]] (agnatic, cognatic, and also equal).
