Typically, the monarchs during the Middle Ages were chosen by hereditary succession. This means that the throne was passed down from one generation to the next within a particular royal family. The eldest son or closest male relative of the previous monarch would usually inherit the title and become the next ruler. However, there were also instances of elective monarchies, where a council or nobility would choose the new monarch from among eligible candidates. Additionally, in some cases, monarchs were chosen based on their military strength or political influence.
