Will there be more Occitan flavor/content ?

There seems to be a “Kingdom of Aquitaine” before 10C in CK. I’m not familiar with its history, but this along with “Kingdom of Burgundy” could be considered as an alt-target when start as Oc countries?

Burgundy-Arles was a title of the HRE emperor but lacked any real authority due to the dissolution of the powerbase/centralized authority. Hence why the Duchy of Burgundy and Franche-Comte (Free County of Burgundy) are in Personal Union with each other while Provence is de facto independent.

Well, in 1337 there was a duchy of Aquitaine (or whatever the rank) that was a vassal of England. This could play some role in the Hundred Years' War, for an England win. England doesn't have the same legitimacy to rule Occitan lands that France has.

how does England have less, the royal family uses its descent from Eleanor of Aquitaine to reaqquire all of Gascony from the small strip it had been reduced to.

So maybe some concessions and interactions will have to be made. This could provide more flavour between the English crown and the Oc land.
(Burgundy isn't considered part of Oc culture tho?)

The Kingdom of Burgundy based on Arles rather than the failed attempts of Charles the Bold
