Having claims on duchies is useful, so yeah.
Useful to know, thanks. Oh and I like how your game is going so far!

as ever great stuff ... bit cruel that Oberto-the-alice-band-wearer lost his reputation for bravery .... as people keep on saying you can only beat what is in front of you

I've been following this for a couple of days and finally decided to post something.
It's great. I'm learning a lot.
I wanna know how things end up

The emperor doesn't directly ask you for support against the plotters, just draw from your levies?
Let's hope his son Oberto-the-hood-wearer has the hood well adjusted then!
Anyone who is your vassal, and hates you enough can refuse a invitation to stop plotting against you. Unless you've created an impossibly powerful duke, this problem can be solved by ensuring the plot doesn't get any backers. Plus, the vassal will generally have to have -100 relations with you, which means he'll probably revolt first.
Also, closing in on the King of Sicily. If you get it, you need to ensure that you remain on good terms with the Kaiser, lest he try to revoke your title.
I see epic family squabbles in the future... what with all those ducal titles...
Sorry to burst your bubble, but don't you need 2 counties? Having 8/17 would still be below 50%.
given the state of Oberto-junior's hair cut, i think I now realise why he wore the hood.
Superb stuff, and almost a King too.
Oh bugger, your photobucket account has exceeded its bandwidth as of the moment. I'll try again later in hoping that it was a bit of a glitch.
Meanwhile, one of my vassals gets caught trying to assassinate a court member, which means I get to imprison him and ransom him. Imprisoning people by event usually does not impose the -50 Imprisoned relations modifier.
Neat that you can usurp a whole kingdom without a single battle...
Isn't it -40? -50 is what you get when you banish someone, isn't it?

Good AAR.
The de facto holder is the rightful ruler.
