Most of the kingdoms in the Early Middle Ages followed one or another of different Germanic practices. In the Germanic kingdoms, either the sons of a king were left land in a will, with the kingdom being divided, the sons of a king shared the kingdom as co-rulers, or a council of important men elected a new king.
In the Byzantine Empire, the practices of the Roman Empire were continued, with the throne usually left to a son of the emperor, theoretically subject to approval by the Senate.
There were some wars fought for determining succession, but this was very much the exception rather than the rule.
