Hello! I've logged nearly 40 hours in this game and I still consider myself a beginner. Never posted on the forum so here goes! (Edit: guess I have posted a few before...)
I do believe I understand the difference between "de facto" and "de jure" in terms, but there is one question that has eluded me for some time, even after research on the internet. Where do the European De Jure Duchies originate? Case in point, looking at the De Jure map mode even in 867, the Duchy of Kent consists of three counties. When were these De Jure Duchies established in history? Who first said "By law (tradition), The Duchy of Kent shall consist of the counties of Kent, Surrey, and Sussex."?
Just something that I've always been curious about. If this has been asked in the wrong forum, I do apologize. It's just something I can't let go. "Because that's the way it is" was never enough, I need to always ask why.
