Why is there the difference between the primogeniture and the cadet branch in a royal family?
Favorite Answer:"Primogeniture" means "first born." In aristocracy, it is the inheritance of titles and lands by the firstborn son. All lands and titles are conferred to him and to him solely. This best ensures the survival of the family's power and position by keeping the land and titles consolidated in a single entity exactly as it was conferred to that primogenitor's primogenitor predecessor.
A "cadet branch," on the other hand, is formed when a non-first born son, a later child, is granted lands and their own title. This does not always happen. It's actually somewhat rare. That's because the point of primogeniture is to maintain the potency and concentration of the family's wealth and so its standing within the aristocracy instead of having the wealth and lands constantly being divided out to more and more people until it disappears into the wind, completely eroded away. So, you get cadet branches when a family has greatly increased its holdings and titles and has them to spare, has them in such spades that what the primogenitor inheritance will be at least or more than what his predecessor inherited.
