Fantasy royal succession family tree

A fantasy royal succession tree keeps inheritance lines legible while you develop a dynasty. Put the ruling pair at the top, then place their children together beneath them. Add spouses beside the heirs whose marriages matter to the story, and add the next generation below those pairs. The diagram lets you check who is related, which branches have descendants, and where a disputed claim might arise. Use a house name in the title and keep personal details in your notes if the visual needs to remain compact. It is especially useful for novels, games, and campaign settings with several competing heirs.
