Quick question...

[fetchie8-8.livejournal.com]

Does anybody know who is next in line for the Britannian throne since Lelouch renounced his claim/is presumed dead? Is it Schniezel? I can't remember if the succession was ever explained...but I need to know for a story I'm planning. Thank you so much!

It's the First Prince who'll immediately succeed the Emperor. You can see him here on this scan - it's the bearded guy at the top of the page. You see him during the Emperor's speech, sitting next to Schneizel (the Second Prince).

Clovis, Lelouch and Nanaly were somewhat at the bottom of the succession ladder.

wasn't Clovis the third prince? and Lelouch the 8th?
Wikipedia has info anyway ))) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Code_Geass_characters

My apologies. Clovis is indeed the third prince...but Lelouch is the eighth PRINCE, and, if you count the PRINCESSES coming in between, he is the seventeenth in LINE for the throne.

He was just one of the youngest imperial children born so he's quite at the bottom of the ladder, like Nunnally. However, if someone before him, be it a prince or a princess, dies, he'll go one notch up the succession line.

Lelouch nevertheless cannot become the Emperor as the throne goes to the firstborn, who is the bearded prince shown in the pic I posted earlier on.
