9.1 相続法

多くの領地、称号、そして権力を一人の人間が手にした時、こう思うのが自然だ。 「この人物が死んでしまったら、何が起こるのだろう?」 そう、それはすべてあなたの領国の相続法に依存することになる。

• PRIMOGENITURE - 統治者の最も年上の息子が、すべての土地と称号を相続する。 もちろん、これは一族の他のメンバーにとってあまり受け入れられないものだが、 あなたの長子は喜ぶになるだろう。

• SENIORITY - 一族の最も年上のメンバーがすべての土地と称号を相続する。 あなたの子供達にとっては面白くないだろう。

• FEUDAL ELECTIVE - 国王と公爵らがお互いに継承者を指名し合う。公爵が有権者となる。 この方法であなたの一族が称号を長く保つためには、強い意志が必要となろう。

• GAVELKIND – 称号は統治者の息子達により分割され、第一称号を最も年上の者が受け継ぐ。 この方法は公正な相続を行える反面、領地の統一と軍事力の致命的な衰退を招く。

これら四つの相続方式に加えて、領主の娘や一族の女性が称号を相続する権利についても規定がある。 上記の相続法と並行して、下記の法も適用される。

• AGNATIC SUCCESSION – 男性のみが土地と称号を相続できる。 これは最もありふれた性別に基づく相続法である。

• COGNATIC SUCCESSION – 女性の相続も可能であるが、男性の相続が優先される。

• TRUE COGNATIC SUCCESSION – 男性とまったく平等に、女性が土地と称号を相続する。

9.1 SUCCESSION LAWS

With so much land, titles, and power held in the hands of a single person, it is natural to wonder, “What happens when this character dies?” Well, that all depends on the Succession Laws of your realm.

• PRIMOGENITURE – The oldest son of the ruler inherits all the lands and titles of the ruler. Of course, this won’t be too popular with the other members of the dynasty, but your oldest child will be pleased.

• SENIORITY – The oldest male member of your dynasty inherits all the lands and titles of the ruler. Your children will not be amused.

• FEUDAL ELECTIVE – The King and Dukes nominate a successor from amongst themselves. The Dukes are electors. It takes a strong will to keep these titles in your family for long.

• GAVELKIND – The titles are divided up amongst all the sons of the ruler, with the oldest receiving the primary title. This is a fair way to do it, but this can also critically undermine the unity and strength of a dominion.

On top of these four methods of inheritance, there are also conditions on the rights of daughters and women to inherit titles. So, along with the above Law, there will also be one of the following Laws:

• AGNATIC SUCCESSION – Only men can inherit lands and titles. This is the most common of the gender-based inheritance laws.

• COGNATIC SUCCESSION – Women can inherit, but only if there are no suitable males.

• TRUE COGNATIC SUCCESSION – Women inherit lands and titles on equal footing with men.

9.2 Titles – Landed

The power structure of Crusader Kings II is tiered and based directly upon the landed titles that the characters hold. Depending on your Succession Laws, the secular nobles may find their most important titles to be elective in nature.

9.3 Titles – Minor

hese are the Lesser Titles a character can hold. A character has the right to hold any number of the titles at the same time, and they are not passed on. They are, however, held for life. Some of them can be assigned by you through the Diplomacy Interface, some are appointments made outside your control. Not all of them are titles you really want to hold. • regent – This character has been appointed to rule in the name of an incapable ruler due to youth, age, or insanity. • consort – This is the title of a character who has married a King or Queen but does not share in their Royal Authority. • queen mother – This is the mother of the current King or Queen. • prince or princess – This character is of royal blood. • court jester – As the title implies, this character is a source of derisive amusement to the rest of the court. Unsurprisingly, the Court Jester will not be delighted with the appointment. • keeper of the king’s swans – This honorific carries a stipend and a nice boost to prestige. • master of the horse – The Lord’s Horses are the most important things he owns. They are what make him a Knight. Therefore, this title carries prestige and a stipend. • master of the hunt – This character leads the Royal or Noble Hunt. This is an important posting that carries much prestige and authority. • master of the hounds – This character is in charge of the Royal or Noble Hunting Pack. This post carries a stipend and prestige. • grand butler – An important posting in the Lord’s main castle, this is another position of prestige. • high almoner – This character is in charge of dispensing the Lord’s Bounty to those in need. This position is prestigious and carries a stipend. • cupbearer – This person is charged with pouring the King’s wine. This is a very trusted and prestigious position as the Cupbearer literally stands between the King and death by poison. • seneschal – This person is in charge of administering justice and managing the domestic affairs of the Lord. • sebastokrator – This is a Byzantine title and ranks just below the Emperor himself in prestige. It carries no real power or authority and really just signifies a close relationship with the Emperor.

• paramount knight – This title is granted to the premiere Knight in the realm. This individual exemplifies everything a Knight should be. This is a prestigious title.

9.4 Character Traits – General

These are the general traits that characters in Crusader Kings II can possess. Some are good, some are horrific, but all help to define a character. • ambitious – These characters are driven to succeed, and so they tend to be better than everyone else. Of course, since they realize this, they tend to make poor vassals. • arbitrary – The character does not care about justice at all, something his vassals and courtiers find aggravating. • bastard – This character was born out of wedlock and has not been legitimized. As such, he is excluded from the line of succession. • brave – These characters never shy away from personal danger. They are the envy of all but the Craven, who don’t like to be reminded of their own cowardice. • bubonic plague – This character suffers from the dreaded Black Death. • celibate – This character has chosen a life of celibacy. It is a very holy decision, but it does make the production of heirs a bit of a problem. • clubfooted – This character was born with a clubbed foot. This is a rather unattractive disability. • content – These characters are quite satisfied with their lot in life, making them unsuited to intrigue. • craven – The character is a craven coward, fleeing at the first sign of danger. • cruel – This character delights in the suffering of others. • crusader – This character is a veteran Crusader. • cynical – This character is a cynical unbeliever. Not too popular with the clergy but quite good at intrigue. • deceitful – These characters will lie, flatter, and stab you in the back without batting an eyelash. They make excellent Spymasters, so long as they like you. • depressed – For this character, life has lost all meaning.

• drunkard – This character is a drunken sot. • duelist – The character is a master fencer and duelist, a dangerous lifestyle but one that is full of excitement. • dwarf – This character was born a dwarf. • excommunicated – This character has been kicked out of the church family and is consigned to hellfire unless they change their ways. For obvious reasons, these individuals aren’t terribly popular. • fair – This character is physically pleasing to behold and therefore extremely attractive to the opposite sex. • falconer – The character is an avid falconer, a pastime held in high regard. • gardener – This character enjoys growing herbs and exotic fruit trees in their spare time. • genius – This character has a massive and towering intellect. • gregarious – The character is outgoing and pleasant. Someone who is socially competent. • harelip – This character was born with a harelip. It is not considered a particularly attractive trait. • hedonist – These characters have chosen a lifestyle rich in debauchery and sinfulness. It is tremendous fun, but the church tends to disapprove. • homosexual – The character does not have much interest in the opposite sex. • honest – These characters do not lie well and do not like to do so. For obvious reasons, they make terrible Spymasters. Other Diplomats appreciate this trait, however. • hunchback – This character has a large misshapen hunchback. Vassals despise those with hunchbacks, and they aren’t too popular with the opposite sex either. • hunter – This character loves nothing more than to commune with God and nature by finding doe-eyed woodland creatures and then killing them. • kinslayer – The character is known to have murdered members of their own family. This act is frowned upon by everyone, and especially by their surviving kin. • ill – The character is chronically ill. It may be something as simple as a cold or it could be a sign of something much, much worse. • imbecile – This character is a grade-A moron. • impaler – These characters take a morbid delight in creating new ways to torture and torment their unfortunate victims. Perhaps if they’d been hugged more as children…

• inbred – This character is the result of a too-close relationship between characters. They are often disfigured, mentally handicapped, and sterile. • incapable – The character is completely incompetent for any number of reasons. Because of this, the character must employ a Regent. • infirm – This character has become infirm through advanced age. • insane – The character has gone stark raving mad.

9.5 Character Traits – Sinners and Saints

The middle ages were a very religious time, and the path to Heaven or Hell was never far from the mind. As such, these are the matched traits of the Seven Deadly Sins, which could doom a soul for eternity, and the Seven Virtues, which could take a soul straight to Heaven. Each Deadly Sin is paired with its opposite of the Seven Virtues.

9.6 Character Traits – Careers

Every character will gain an education focused on one of the main traits, whether Intrigue, Diplomacy, Martial, Administration, or Religion. How well that education takes…well, that varies from person to person and from teacher to teacher.

The outcome of their education varies based on their own skills, the skills of their trainers, and simple luck, but there are four possibilities:

martial education

These characters have studied under powerful warriors and great generals in the hopes that they will learn this most valuable career skill. While the hope is that the student will grow into a great general as well as a great warrior, there are four possible outcomes for those who follow this path:

religious education

Historically, this was a favored choice for those second and third sons who wouldn’t be getting their hands on the family estate, but it was also for those who were generally religious and ready to serve their God. They have studied under another religious personage and have earned one of the four possible outcomes for this education:
