- Abstract
The biggest problem of monarchic systems has been the transfer of potency. Throughout the history, throne struggles take place at the beginning of the processes that led to the weakening or destruction of many kingdoms. Apart from this general determination, the Hittite and Egyptian Kingdoms did not remain. In the period when it was contemporary, many throne struggles were experienced in both kingdoms. Even if the powerful kings of both kingdoms took measures to regulate the throne transition system, there was no permanent success. In the Hittite and Egyptian Kingdoms, although the king was determined to be a lineage, both those of the same lineage and those who joined the royal family with marriage fought bloody struggles. The tradition of the great son, who was generally applied in the Hittites, or the wife of the great girl, to come to the throne was not widely accepted in Egypt. The absence of children from these marriages or the birth of children who were disabled and death at an early age did not give the expected result from this ascend throne system. The ascend throne system applied in both kingdoms also caused the rebellions of other king candidates and even the fragmentation of the country. This study aimed to reveal the general structure of the throne struggles in both kingdoms with the arrangements made on traditional ascend throne system in the Hittite and Egyptian kingdoms. It also aimed to identify the advantages and weaknesses of these two ascend throne system.
