==Succession law==
{{main|1924 Palace Law of Succession}}
In 1924, Vajiravudh promulgated his Law of Succession, which has since become the code for [[Chakri dynasty]] successions. According to the law, the throne would be passed to the king's sons and grandsons. However, in the case of Vajiravudh who had no sons, the throne would pass to his eldest "true" or full brother, that is, a brother who shared both the same father and mother, Queen [[Saovabha Phongsri]]. The law gave priority to the descendants of princes born to Queen Saovabha, then to Queen [[Savang Vadhana]], and then to Queen [[Sukhumala Marasri]]. The law also forbade princes whose mother was foreign from the throne. This referred to his brother, Prince Chakrabongse, who had married a Russian woman. His son, Prince Chula Chakrabongse, was therefore barred from the throne.
