I'm playing a game starting as the Duke of Provence. I've managed, by way of marriage, to get my son and heir made Duke of Friuli. The problem is he gets assassinated ("died under suspicious circumstances") before I die and become his character. I've saved and replayed this part of the game and it keeps happening. The nobles of Friuli obviously don't like the idea of being ruled by an outsider! But is there no way I can intervene in this situation to reduce the probability of a successful plot against him?
I can't see a way. I have no influence over his council and sending my spymaster to his capital seems to have no effect. I get no notice of any plot against him in my intrigue tab. In this game I'm actually spymaster on the Italian king's council but even there I see no way to influence this situation.
It's a bit frustrating when a recommendation is to use marriage and inheritance to advance from small provincial starts but the game limits what can be done in situations like this.
