That's how it was in ancient Ireland too, but even more spread out across the whole male kindred of the ruling clan. This seemingly chaotic tradition was ameliorated by the final choice being put to election.

So what's piefed social's policy on certain links and the idea that information should be free? ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
Um, what?
Your jstor link requires an institutional login. I was going to try and find a link that didn't, but a lot of those links technically fall under digital piracy - Lemmy world explicitly bans those kind of links to cover their asses legally but the db0 instance allows them, for example.
Well that's a new word for me, thanks! (Ameliorate: To make or become better; improve.)
