hey, all. this occurred to me recently after finally getting back to writings some of my ASB ATL. for those of you who haven't been paying attention, the TL includes the Norman invasion being repelled and, as a result, Harold Godwinson remaining King of England until he dies of natural causes in 1085. long story short, the Witenagemot maintains its role in assigning the king rather than the English immediately opting for primogeniture like when William took over IOTL, and this stays for a few hundred years. what i currently have is that primogeniture is adopted following an equivalent to the War of the Roses, but i wanted to get some additional opinions about if and when primogeniture would be adopted by a continuing Saxon England.
personally, i find it likely that primogeniture would eventually be adopted, since IOTL it was often a father-to-son succession anyway even when the Witenagemot had a say in it
