Hi, You cannot ascend the throne, but you can rise to the position of king or queen, therefore, you should say; He was only 13 when he ascended to the throne. Unless you are riding on the roof of a taxi, you should say; I was in a taxi. Hamid

If you start with the fancy structure of 'Only at the age of 13', you need to complete' the second part of the sentence with an uncommon word order as follows.
Only at the age of 13 did he ascend the throne.
It's an uncommon and rather literary structure.
