When I was a child, in our village , kingship was based on inheritance. If the king were to die today , his oldest son would from that day become the king of that village.
Because of this, every king feels all powers belong to them and there is nothing anybody can do about it. During the reign of king Jato,one of the most wicked kings, who felt he would never die. During this time, when somebody dies, the family of the person that dies, will have to pay for the burial of that person in that community. And after the burial. Half of properties of the dead man will be giving to the king and half to dead Man's family. Until one day , when he was traveling, he had an accident and died. Meanwhile he had ten wives and three gave birth on the same day, and since He didn't appoint the next king after him , all the three children started fighting for the kingship. Due to the fight of who will inherit the kingship the children kill each other, only one of his children that was remaining. But due to the dead king wickedness, one of the men in the community whom the king collected all his properties while he was alive, look for a way and killed the only son of the king Jato. and the family was left with no option than to look for a king outside the family who will take over the throne. As time will have it, they have to go back to their gods and the gods pick the same man that killed the remaining child of the king, to be the king of that village. Before the inauguration of the new king , a committee was set to look into the rules governing the community, and it was this time that they all made it that. Kingship should be by inheritance no more. Death people's properties should not be shared with the king but only the dead person's family. And no task should be paid to the king before burial dead bodies. Lastly all land that the king collected from people neither by inheritance or by force , should be given back to the owns. For the wives of the dead king, most ran back to their family and few that were remaining, where they were asked to leave the palace and a place was given to them to stay.
