I concur. Death to the Emperor! Long live the drunken, pub-dwelling, blabbermouth Empress!
Back the plot. She 's just so right for the Empire.

Another free drink at the bar and another "hello! again" with the emperor.
Nothing's as good as tradition.
Despite your wife's tendency to be loose-lipped, I think you should still back the plot, if only for story reasons.
good move to send Count Oberto off to stare helpfully at the disease ridden peasantry ... almost as if you wanted rid of him?
despite your current revolting populace, I'd concur, this is a plot you have to go with ... just make sure none of the Princesses are out on the bevvy for a while
One thing is very clear, I really do think Oberto junior should return to his hooded ways.
Great updates. Plenty of plotting, title swapping, warfare, rebellion and drinking. Oberto seems to be doing rather well, despite the Emperor doing all he can to vex him! Interesting to see what whether you back this current plot or not. One thing is very clear, I really do think Oberto junior should return to his hooded ways.
Oberto Jr is undoubtedly biding his time, preparing his hood and his clone army in Menorca...
Can you create the Kingdom of Two-Sicilies/Naples/Italy? Because you're on your way right now.
That sheikh Yahya was certainly careless to let you snatch the duchy of Valencia... but not as careless as your bishops, it seems.
Wow, the Emperor actually stepped down, rather than let the entire empire fall into civil war? That's insanely rare in my experience, and especially in the HRE! How big was the plot?
Also, will you be able to usurp the Sicilian throne after this war?
A fine update.
Oberto III is such a big cheese that almost any plot he joins will succeed. He got gratitude but nothing practical (Master of the Hunt is not Steward, but does sum up Oberto and his quest for the crown of Sicily) and the new Emperor doesn't much care for Oberto III -watch his back,
Shame about those Bishops. Does Rome appoint them or does Oberto.? If it's Oberto, the Pope ought to be upset. If Rome, he's no call to hold Oberto responsible.
On for that 9th Duchy amd Kingship!
does seem that being one of your bishops is incredibly dangerous these days
but overall you're making stunning progress
I didn't think the emperor would just step down, that's for sure. I can only assume it was a pretty big plot against him.
Can you create the Kingdom of Two-Sicilies/Naples/Italy? Because you're on your way right now.
Nope, just the Kingdom of Sicily. (technically he can't create it as it already exists, so he'll have to usurp it)
Speaking of, once you take Calabria will you have enough territories to usurp the Kingdom of Sicily?
That sheikh Yahya was certainly careless to let you snatch the duchy of Valencia... but not as careless as your bishops, it seems.
I was just thinking that as I read the update, he's clearly earned his title!
Quite why Oberto is still not considered brave I truly do not know. His courageously bullying a young boy, the Emir of Cyrenaica, proves beyond doubt what a stupendously brave man he is.
