Editing Elective monarchy (section)

====Kongo====
The [[Kingdom of Kongo]] was a purer example of an elective monarchy, where blood claims had even less influence.  Nobles elected a king's successor, and it was common for the successor to be of a different family than his predecessor.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}

This form of elective monarchy existed in the kingdom from its inception around 1400 until its complete disintegration in the early 20th century.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}
