Title loss on succession?

I am not 100% sure but isn't this when you have gavelkind? And then some of the titles will be inherited by your heirs siblings.

Gavelkind "splits" the realm on succession, meaning all possible heirs get counties and the appropriate claims handed to them once you die. This isn't actually that bad, unless you have more than one of your highest claims. For example if you happen to be King of France and Italy with gavelkind succession, one of your heirs will get to be King of Italy and the other King of France. If you only have one king title, one heir gets to be king and the others get to be dukes and thus his vassals. The same holds true for the duke -> count level, of course.

I think you can make him a bishop by giving him a church fief to govern, thus he won't inherit. This applies to the demo however, dunno if they changed it for the full game.

Decided to test if that still applied. The button grays out, and the message "Cannot disinherit an heir by making him a bishop!" appears.

You can get the title loss on succession in other ways. I had a situation where my king's brother was ruling a duchy under me - he had no sons and his daughter was going to inherit. His other daughter was married off to a foreign count, and when he died, she became heir to a county. She was the count, but all her heirs were the sons she had with the foreign count so I got the warning that when the king died, the county would no longer be part of my kingdom. Also, for some reason, at that point I couldn't revoke her title!
