These sorts of systems are actually quite common. Roman houses adopted heirs fairly frequently, many Scots titles could pass by tanistry and so on, though there is often a lot of overlap, given that marrying the adopted heir to a girl from the prior ruling house is a pretty common thing to do in these systems.
