Claudius getting the throne

Detailed explanation-1: -Power came to Claudius unexpectedly after Gaius’s murder on January 24, 41, when he was discovered trembling in the palace by a soldier. The Praetorian Guards, the imperial household troops, made him emperor on January 25.
Detailed explanation-2: -They chose Claudius. In real life, Denmark was indeed an elective monarchy. Almost always, the king’s oldest son was selected as the heir, but the aristocracy could opt to hand the throne to someone else if they believed he would be a better ruler.
Detailed explanation-3: -One cannot help but appreciate the irony of Hamlet’s dying voice. Fortinbras persists in his claim for a disputed patch of land held by Denmark, and without raising up arms against his foe, ends up becoming the king of the entire country.
