@HubertManne @jawa21 matrilineal inheritance (including crowns) existed among booking and Asian cultures.
There's historical precedent for how it worked
@HubertManne @jawa21 Viking.
I didn't notice Google replacing the word.
Counterpoint: Women were often seen as invaders to the family lineage because of heavily misogynistic ideas like the idea of all women being evil.
Yeah it doesn't make sense, but misogyny typically doesn't.
It might have more to do with men being able to safely father so many more children. 50ish seems the record for mothers, but fathers could have hundreds of kids. On top of that, maternal mortality rates were high, so a matriarch has a chance of dying with every kid.
Why would there be no combat deaths? It's not like the more matriarchal societies throughout history didn't go to war.
