    De jure Holy Roman Empire

    Why isn't the kingdom of Burgundy and Italy in the HRE anymore? Now in all my games they immediately gain independence and keep it within 50 years. Why the change?

    They've never been de jure parts of the empire.

    Garak's right. You better create the titles if you're HRE (the AI won't AFAIK). Of course it's historical for them to drift away. Optimally, the Italian dukes could declare for the Pope and the Burgundians wander off.
    Works in Progress for CK2:
    The Matter of Britain, an Arthurian overhaul for Crusader Kings II.
    Expansion #1: Lord of the Manor - Manage Your Demesne ("The Republic" DLC required)
    Expansion #2: Courts and Titles - Knighthood, Chivalry, and All That (A "Legacy of Rome" add-on)

    They were, but these kingdoms upto now weren't a de jure part of the HRE in CK2.

    A major reason to exclude these kingdoms, is that German nobles and the ruler of Bohemia elected the king of the Romans/German King, not Burgundian and Italian nobles, which kingdoms were attached to the German kingdom.

    In game they are a de facto part, historically they were de jure parts of the HRE.

    That depends on the desired level of ''sandboxness'', one likes to have in their games.

    Burgundy, Lotharingia and Italy should obviously be part of the Empire.

    The dukes of holland never elected HRE, but they're still in it... so yeah.

    Of course they should (and WERE) de facto part of the Empire. This is 1066, not 1648.

    Whether or not they should also be De Jure part of the HRE from the start is more debatable, though.

    Yes, I was talking about the game. I thought we were talking about the game mechanics, not the actual history.

    That's not entirely true, at least one count of Holland was elected (anti) king of the Romans; and in the early period of the HRE all imperial princes (Reichsfürsten) were allowed to elect the monarch, but eventually a small group (predecessors of the later prince-electors) made a pre-selection. Direct vassals of the empire, like the duke of Lower Lorraine and the landgraves of Brabant (later duke) and Gelre (eventually also a duke) did initially have the right to vote.
