UM, NO! You are in a matrilineal betrothal to a PRINCE. Your older brother, my original heir, just ran off to marry some random ass Italian gypsy woman in freaking PISA.
Your great, great, great, great grandfather (??) didn’t take guff enabling absolute cognatic elective succession for you to run off and join the nunnery
SIT YOUR BUTT DOWN ON THIS THRONE AND LIKE IT, GIRLY.
(I totally sympathize with all the villainous kings in stories right now, you guys. For real.)
this is by far the weirdest and fun game, at no point was I trying for this level of matriarchy, my male heirs just kept dying
Brochfael had one illegitimate son I didn't recognise so he was succeeded by a daughter when he died from the flu
Morganna I took the throne at 4 (she’s called the fat but should really be the mad) got possessed trait at 14 (had ‘jesus gives military advice’ twice) had five kids 3 of which I made take vows, her son Owain died heirless (Asshole), her eldest daughter was already beyond childbearing age and had no dynasty heirs, her second daughter a nun had managed to have a daughter because of the event you get during seclusion sometimes, that daughter was Mali. She had a few husbands I think, used the last one to secretly convert to cathar than induced all children. Died ‘a nautral death’
Mali had 8 fucking kids before I could kill her husband (who has two sets of fucking twins?) only her two youngest got any decent traits and the boy (owain again) was sickly and died quickly. made her daughter heir after making all other children take the vows, daughter had a son and the lords voted him (tanistry) in as heir over her daughter. She lost her eye to cancer and ended up dying of severe stress.
Owain (Mali’s grandson) lived a long ass life I think he’s the one who openly converted to cathar, he wasn’t that interesting but his family kind of was. Owain’s dad had wicked fucking stewardship stats so I gave him a duchy and he got that shit running (also converted the counties to cathar) after he died I gave that duchy to Owain’s son (Rhys) the fucker kept declaring holy wars on the scots (and shocking kept losing) son was an utter fuck up but he had a quick attractive son and boy was I fucking pumped then the idiot died and quick attractive inherited the duchy only for him to fucking die of a god damn heart attack, luckily he had two daughters first thought I think I had to kill a useless grandson before I could make change heir. The oldest daughter at age 15 proposed to Owain (her great grandfather) about 3 seconds before he died supposedly of a natural death (I think he probably had a heart attack when I accepted the proposal, what he had good traits to pass on). In the middle of a jihad from arranged by someone from saudi arabia that never showed up to wales.
Lowry at 15 won a defeated a jihad by default. Lowry than after the birth of her first daughter had to fight a civil war against her sister after she had plotted against her (it was won really easily). She conquered wessex even waging a successful war against scotland (who control scotland, 2 counties in ireland and northern england). She got her kingdom through numerous epidemics (including the plague). She did however lose her only son he was murdered while in seclusion (which they were in a lot she ended up going cannibal) I still don't know who did it and am still mad because he was strong and attractive. Her eldest daughter having been married off to some Lombard was unable to succeed, so it was at the end of a 50 year reign that she was succeeded by her younger daughter Morganna II
Morganna II has a lot of children a couple by the duke of cornwall who I think is descended from Owain somehow (unacknowledged bastard). and she just got her ass kicked by the moors I think so i resigned (holy war no one helping me because I’m cathar fucking pricks)
