When a monarch dies they are succeeded by whoever is next in line for the throne. Generally, this will be the oldest son, or if there are no sons, the oldest daughter. If there are no children, the next in line would be the monarch's oldest brother, or, failing that, oldest sister (or if the siblings are dead, their children). If there are no children, siblings, nieces or nephews, the crown will go to another family member, who is descended from a previous monarch.
