Succession Law: House Thrax

On Succession: House Thrax
Those who are familiar with me, know that in the past I would sometimes joke that if only Donella had been born a man, all would be good in Thrax. The truth is, I was not the only one making that joke. And further, we weren't really joking, not if we are honest with ourselves.
I would like to think I am a man whose actions follow his words. I this, Princess Donella Thrax, has convinced me that I have not been.
Let it be known:
From this day forward House Thrax shall no longer exclude women from the line of Succession. Let they have equal claims upon the title. Further, until I produce my own Heirs of the Body, Donella Thrax shall serve as my Designate Heir.
As for my vassals across the Isles, they are free to either follow my example or ignore it. We have always valued our independence in the East, and I will let them choose their own path rather than force their hand in this. Even if I strongly suspect there are a few Donellas out there who have, if not been wasted, then certainly not been used to their full potential for the advance of their Houses.
Prince Victus Thrax,
Highlord of Thrax
Prince of Maelstrom
