Points of Interest- The High Seat is inherited, unless their are no heirs. If the heir is not of age, a regent will be appointed.
- If there are no heirs, a close relative of the High Seat will usually be found. The new High Seat must formerly have been a Duke, Duchess, Marquess, or Lady Marquess.
- Rarely are women allowed to hold a title of their own, except if they have been widowed or within the High Seat's immediate family.
