Because MTW2 auto select system doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason to how heirs are chosen....The logical choices get skipped... It will skip from brother to brother moving right and then suddenly it's choosing someone on the other end of the family tree who is a second son....An you wonder is it because that guy has some logical quality...Like high chivalry or piety or a trait that makes it make sense...But no the guy is a frigging toaster and his older brother is a genius.....

It's absolutely one of the lamest game mechanics in MTW2..
