Got a quick question: Just played around with Bohemia and created the kingdom of Bohemia. Shouldn't I get new laws like changing crown authority for my vasals?
You are a vassal of the HRE and subject to their crown laws.

Your court has a soft cap on size, after reaching it fertility decreases, so your court isn't 500 people.
Henry inherited the Latin Empire, Flanders was inherited by his Baldwin's daughter Jeanne. The game seems to be respresenting the actual situation just fine, no? Latin Empire to the brother and Flanders to the daughter in history, Latin Empire to the brother and Flanders to the daughter in the game.
Nope, via semi agnatic gavelkind Jeanne (already duchess of flanders) inherits the main title, so you end up with her as Empress + Flanders, and then the other daughter gets a share of your counties too. Henry doesn't get a look in.
Is this soft cap listed somewhere? I'd like to know what it is so I know how many people I need to arrange accidents for
Is it better if my Duke Ged the first ruled them all directly thought he has no brothers nor sisters but a uncle that rules the province Rouerque?
If it is so that its better with direct control due to money and manpower gain, what the best way of getting them in a silent and shady way?
There are lots of ways.
My favourite:
Get your eldest son or daughter married to a sister or daughter or second son of the count (if it's your daughter, do so matrilineally).
Then murder all his family until the spouse of your child is in power.
Their children will inherit both your duchy and the county.
So, in Narbonne theres a countess who is not fully grown yet and has no family members alive, also is not betrothed to anyone. If I manage my Duke to marry the countess then I will gain control of Narbonne too (Or will the heir do it?)?
Also if they DO manage to keep it in the dynasty, does that mean a permanent (so long as kept in the dynasty) alliance, or will the line eventually separate too much?
Question about claims and trying to engineer them into your dynasty. If you find a female courtier in another county that has a claim on the county or duchy, but it says it will only be inherited if pressed in war, how would you ever press the claim? As far as I can tell, you can't press your wife's claim.
You can press your wife's claim. Just declare war on the holder of the title in question, and by "Claim <title>" in the casus belli selection there will be a little picture of the claimant, if it isn't you.
I also have noticed in my game that I can only press the claims of males. It might be related to succession law, though, just like the granting of titles. Are you using Agnatic?Are you sure? I'm playing as the Duke of Leinster and my wife has a claim on County of Anhalt that is listed as not being inherited unless pressed in war. She also has a claim on the Duchy of Brandenburg which may be inherited. In both cases I cannot declare war on either the direct holder or their leiges (in both cases the HRE) because it says I don't have a valid CB.
