![]() ![]() There is a good chance Himultrude will be married off to a vassal so you may end up accidently cucking them and earning a powerful rival either break up with her or invite her to your court to keep a lover for more illegitimate offspring or just to stay out of trouble.Īs soon as possible you should join the Dominican or Benedictine religious orders as they can grant you powerful artefacts as well as allowing Karl to take a vow of cellibacy allowing him to marry without any gavelkind troubles as well as being able to gain powerful Christian artefacts to help him earn the respect of his vassals. I chose to legitimize him for the aforementioned reason as well as the opinion penalty applied to Karl's wife lowers the chance of addional heirs. Karl's only son at the begining of the game due to his amorous adventures with noble woman Himiltrude (courtier in game) the choice is yours whether you legitimize him or not but it is important to note that legitimizing him can assure a safe sucession free from gavelkind allowing you more time to get legalism 3 and switching to primogeniture Succession. ![]() You will in time get a event to divorce your new queen but keeping her around as well as Himiltrude won't affect events as the current king of Lombardy is very old and will die shortly breaking the Non-Aggression Pact This event is actually unnecessary to get the claim on Italy though I suggest you marry her as it allows for a cash sum of around 180 gold which you can use to form new duches such as Normandy to get rid of the many count vassals. It is useful to note that should you start as Karloman or somehow die as Karl you can follow this guide but Karloman will lack a Claim on Italy which is a requirement to forming the Holy Roman Empire but he will get the Saxon Wars all the same like his brother allowing for a powerful Frankish Empire and Holy Roman Empire by his descendants.

Check you De Jure mapmode and transfer any counts under their respective dukes this will free up your vassal limit greatly in preparation for the events to come.

Important things to note are there are several dukes in Karl's realm which are heirless and Karl is their sucessor, one notable example is the duke of flanders, having him killed will give you a power base to control the rest of the Dukes. I play with Quartered Demesne Limit and with the new Non-Aggression Pact faction blocker mechanic, marrying your daughters to the powerful vassals of the empire will allow you to reign absolute as any true Roman Emperor should. Day one of the game once you take Control of Karl you want to immedietly head to the realm law screen and implement title revocation, this is to ensure that the law is passed in the event the Council gets additional power which it shouldn't if you play around your vassals. ![]()
