FATHER TO SON
In ages past when Kings ruled and everybody was in need of a bath, everything, including power, was hereditary. The typical story goes; feirce Noble gains support and dethrones weak tyrant, usually his brother or cousin, and then becomes King. He then has children, one of which is chosen to succeed the King and is raised within an enviroment that completely alienates him from the real world. Invariably this King-to-be is ill equiped to rule, having been pampered and never having had to work for his position. In turn this progeny becomes the weak tyrant who is overthrown by his brother or cousin.
Think about it.
