Unfortunately, it didn't work out and now we find ourselves at war with him. This gives us a bonus to our chance to successfully arrest a character in that location. Our Marshal is sent to Suppress Revolts in Orleans. We can see that Duke Eudes is currently reigning over his realm in Orleans. This means we can just imprison them on the grounds of their excommunication, and then when we launch our plots to revoke their titles, they'll already be imprisoned and unable to fight back against us. It just so happens that the Dukes of Valois and Orleans are excommunicated. This puts all of the holdings within a province which we own under his control at once. For any county that has more than one castle holding, we tick the 'Include Lower Titles' checkbox. Our second son, Loeguire, is given possession of Paris as well as several other counties in Valois and Normandy until we are under our demesne limit. We can plot to revoke them without angering our other vassals. Even though we control all of the counties that make up those duchies, the ducal titles themselves are still held by their prior owners. Again, this is done by right-clicking the holding and then pressing the 'Create New Vassal' button.Īnother thing that we'll want to do is gain the Duchies if Normandy and Valois. A good first start is to assign appoint new owners for all of our town and church holdings.

Our new holdings must be reorganized and handed off at least until we're under the limit.

With all of the holdings of Normandy and Valois in our demesne, we are hopelessly above our demesne limit. Part 16: How It's Made: French Kings 1253 - 1263
