Since his domains all practiced succession by primogeniture, there was no question of his dominions passing en bloc to any one man or woman – they had come to Philip of Rouvres by different paths of inheritance, and so by the customs of the territories, they were required to pass to the next in line to inherit in each respective territory.
Kuna kõik tema domeenid rakendasid esmasünniõigusega pärimist, ei olnud küsimustki, et tema domeenid läksid en bloc ühele mehele või naisele – nad jõudsid Philippe de Rouvres'ini erinevaid pärimisradu pidi, ja nii territooriumide tavade kohaselt, pidid nad minema järgmisele pärimisliinis igal vastaval territooriumil.
