[1.08] Excommunicated daughter in line to inherit?

[ticattack]

Background
I've been playing as the Rurikovich dynasty, starting in 1066 as Novgorod. 1.08, all DLC, no mods. I've been going pretty well, with two thrones myself and three more split across different branches.

My current king has three daughters and a bastard son. The eldest daughter is married (matrilineally) to the Holy Roman Emperor. Sounds awesome, but (a) that title is agnatic seniority, and (b) that daughter is a hunchback. What's that, -30 to all male vassals? No thanks.
My second daughter is married to the king of Hungary. It's patrilineal, but he's a Rurikovich anyway, so... still works.

The Actual (Possible) Bug
I want my second daughter to inherit, bypassing the elder daughter and her offpsring. I thought that would be as simple as excommunicating her, which I did. Nope, doesn't care - she's still first in line. I tried forcing a succ_recalc, and waiting a few years, there's been no apparent change.

Do excommunicated Orthodox characters still inherit normally, or is this a bug?

Even if excommunicated you inherit normally, I believe. Otherwise that would be pretty abusive stuff..

Huh. Okay, I was sure that was a thing. Must have imagined it, the bug is me.

Now, for some fun with a hunchbacked queen, I guess.

Have you preferred daughter have a son, and kill the other daughters sons. Pretty sure she would inherit before the other daughter then.

You should stick with the hunchback daughter.

It doesn't matter if the title is agnatic seniority - her children will have a claim on it via their father. You can then press the child's claim, either as her or as the child.
