Talk:Tranon Imperial Family Titles and Order of Succession

Questions:

• What happens if there's no one in any of those four tiers? If female lines are excluded, it would be quite possible for there to be no princes out to first cousin
• Which tier is the Emperor's father's brothers classified in? Also, are only the children of brothers of the Emperor's father by his main wife included in tier three, or are the children of brothers of the Emperor's father by concubines included?
• When a new Emperor succeeds, do princes' status change? For example, the Crown Prince's brothers would be in tier one, but would they then be demoted to tier three once the Crown Prince becomes Emperor?

Also, "Sons of father's brother" are not "cousins first-removed". A cousin once removed is the the child of a cousin, or the cousin of a parent. Your father's brother's son would be your patrilateral (or paternal) parallel cousin, to use technical terms. Nik 23:21, 8 October 2006 (PDT)
