In most historical monarchies, if a King's daughter were married to another nation's prince or king, that ruler would inherit the daughter's family's kingdom.

Although the title of queen was not used during her reign over the Varden, Nasuada was similarly elected as ruler over the Varden after her father's passing. In the Inheritance Cycle, King Galbatorix, theoretically, would have never been succeeded due to him being a Rider, making him Immortal. This is noted several times when characters discuss what to do about Galbatorix's evil reign, as they could not "wait for him to die off." Monarchies in Alagaësia:
* Broddring Kingdom
* The Elven forests of Du Weldenvarden
* The Empire
* The dwarf-holds of the Beor Mountains
* Surda

The amount of power a monarch could exercise varied from government to government, ranging from them having a purely ceremonial role, to being bound by a constitution, to wielding absolute power. Some monarchies had a council of officials who would advise the monarch in political matters. The Elder Houses were the collected hereditary royal houses of the galaxy, and included such monarchies as the House of Organa and Carise Sindian's family. In ancient times, hereditary nobility was seen as a legitimate system of election, however, by the time of the New Republic, very few still took the concept seriously. As such, many monarchies became largely ceremonial. Planets that were governed by monarchies included Naboo, Alderaan, Zygerria, Mon Cala, Onderon, Shu-Torun and Toydaria. Other titles that were used in monarchies included Lord, its feminine equivalent, Lady, and supreme governor. A dictatorship was very similar to an absolute monarchy, in that it consisted of a lone ruler exercising ultimate authority.
- Forms of monarchy differ widely based on the level of legal autonomy the monarch holds in governance, the method of selection of the monarch, and any predetermined limits on the length of their tenure. When the monarch has no or few legal restraints in state and political matters, it is called an absolute monarchy and is a form of autocracy. Cases in which the monarch's discretion is formally limited (most common today) are called constitutional monarchies. In hereditary monarchies, the office is passed through inheritance within a family group, whereas elective monarchies are selected by some system of voting. Historically these systems are most commonly combined, either formally or informally, in some manner. (For instance, in some elected monarchies only those of certain pedigrees are considered eligible, whereas many hereditary monarchies have legal requirements regarding the religion, age, gender, mental capacity, and other factors that act both as de factoelections and to create situations of rival claimants whose legitimacy is subject to effective election.) Finally, there are situations in which the expiration of a monarch’s reign is set based either on the calendar or on the achievement of certain goals (repulse of invasion, for instance.) The effect of historical and geographic difference along each of these three axes is to create widely divergent structures and traditions defining “monarchy.” Monarchy was the most common form of government into the 19th century, but it is no longer prevalent, at least at the national level. Where it exists, it now often takes the form of constitutional monarchy, in which the monarch retains a unique legal and ceremonial role, but exercises limited or no political power pursuant to a constitution or tradition which allocates governing authority elsewhere. Currently, 44 sovereign nations in the world have monarchs acting as heads of state, 16 of which are Commonwealth realms that recognize Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state. All European monarchies are constitutional ones, with the exception of the Vatican City, but sovereigns in the smaller states exercise greater political influence than in the larger. The monarchs of Cambodia, Japan, Jordan, Malaysia and Morocco "reign, but do not rule" although there is considerable variation in the amount of authority they wield. Although they reign under constitutions, the monarchs of Brunei, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Swaziland appear to continue to exercise more political influence than any other single source of authority in their nations, either by constitutional mandate or by tradition. The word monarch (Latin: monarcha) comes from the Greek words μονάρχης, monárkhēs (from monos, μόνος, "one/singular," and ἄρχω, árkhō, "to rule") which referred to a single, at least nominally absolute ruler. In current usage the word monarchy generally refers to a traditional system of hereditary rule, as elective monarchies are rare in the modern period.

Neither is absolute power a defining characteristic, as the Princes of Liechtenstein and Monaco and even the almost entirely ceremonial sovereigns of the Commonwealth and many other modern European states are considered monarchs. A 1914 edition of Bouvier's Law Dictionary states that "Monarchy is contradistinguished from republic," and gives this definition: 'I cannot find any better definition of monarchy than what this is: a monarchy is the government which is ruled by one person, who is wholly set apart from all other members of the state's (called his subjects); while we call republic that government in which not only there exists an organism by which the opinion of the people, or of a portion of the people (as in aristocracies), passes over into public will, that is, law, but in which also the supreme power, or the executive power, returns, either periodically or at stated times (where the chief magistracy is for life), to the people, or a portion of the people, to be given anew to another person; or else, that government in which the hereditary portion (if there be any) is not the chief and leading portion of the government, as was the case in the Netherlands." Monarchy is one of the more popular government forms in Micronationalism, although it has declined in the Macronational world in favour of a Republican form of Government. In smaller micronations, where the population numbers a dozen or less, democracy would not be feasible, and therefore a monarchic system is adopted. However, that is not necessarily the case, as there are other nations which have a population of a dozen or less which have a fully operational democratic government. Very often there is not much distinction between a micronation which is a republic, and has an autocratic ruler, and a monarchy with an absolute ruler.
