Does this mean English and Scottish law was changed, such that sons and daughters are equal in succession? By the law *here*, Gereint would've succeeded to the English and Scottish thrones anyways, as firstborn son. Or perhaps Gereint was a brother or nephew instead of son?

I was simply going by what I'd learned from research in the conculture group. My impression was that the Acts of Parliaments which forced the abdications of Constantine and Mary also set the order of succession, abolishing all trace of Salic or quasi-Salic law for Scotland and England.

Sounds reasonable. Another possibility is that the Acts of Parliaments simply decreed that Gereint and his descendants were ineligible for the thrones Nik 20:25, 25 December 2005 (PST)

Althistory?

I would imagine the reign of Constantine and Mary must be popular among althistorians *there*, coming up with althists where the personal union survived, and thus, with Pedr V as King of England, Scotland, and Kemr (Pedr I and V) - Nik 00:20, 3 January 2006 (PST)
