Abstract
The Military Revolution made wars in Europe increasingly costly after 1500. Kingdoms had to spend greater amounts of their revenues on military affairs, sometimes neglecting the welfare of the realm and triggering internal conflict. Discontent could then be used by enemies of the ruler to take power, most of the time hiding behind one of the ruler's closest relatives: brothers. Using genealogical and military data, I study the empirical importance of the presence of brothers in the decision to go to war in early modern Europe. I also test the effect of the monarch's gender in conflict when the number of siblings is taken into account.
