He wasn't going to get the throne, so he had to make his own way in the world.

After all it is Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe, and the tradition of having the firstborns of the great lords compete for the hand of the princess is a way of providing the queen to be with The Champion. Elinor is focused on Merida's education not the triplets, because Merida is the one that is going to rule one day. The kingdom has matriarchal successionFergus had to win Elinor's hand in marriage on the contest and now the same was to be done with Merida. Once they mature and become more responsible, I imagine it would work out far better. The triplets might be troublemakers to everyone else but they seem to get along with each other swimmingly.


Granted, this has been known to result in some fairly nasty civil wars, but as Merida is the only one who can tell the triplets apart she's likely to know which is eldest anyway. Even if she doesn't, she could easily leave the throne to one of her brothers. She's fifteen, it's understandable, and she's got twenty-odd years to marry and conceive an heir. Merida's big problem with the marriage was that she wasn't ready and she didn't get to choose.

Long story short: the Scottish royal dynasty is screwed.Which makes the whole business with the suitors all the more important, and Merida's rejection of them all the more problematic. This is still Medieval times, though, so even if Merida is the eldest and most qualified to inherit the throne, she'd still be required to get married and produce another worthy heir.Also, there's the fact that Word of God has said that Merida's the only one who can tell the triplets apart, so that would also naturally cause problems. In the Japanese trailer it's hinted by Elinor that Merida is going to be Queen someday. So the throne goes to Merida, who (despite being a woman living in medieval times) is already grown, quite smart, and has the capability to lead. The kingdom would be divided by jealous fights between the three (grown) brothers and the public fighting over which brother is best fit to rule. Merida is the heir to the throne because her little brothers are triplets.Despite the fact that they are boys and should technically be in line before Merida, it would cause complications to leave the kingdom to only one of them.
