[2.3.3] Succession mess in a military order that created a custom kingdom

[NewbieOne]

Teutonic Knights created a custom kingdom. The kingdom's succession law is Agnatic Gavelkind. The order itself stays at Agnatic Open. The current Hochmeister's son is the successor of both.

Since the lands belong to the order and not to the Hochmeister personally to dispose of as he sees fit, he should be able to elevate the order to a kingdom but not to create a kingdom for himself — unless he pulls off a coup or something like that, which I'm not opposed of, but it should be something to plot for, not the default turn of things.

To help fix this situation I suggest replacing the order's titular duchy with a titular kingdom, deleting that duchy and transferring the order's business to the kingdom title.

I filed a bug report of the issue. But we'll have to see how best to solve it.

Thank you for reporting!

Yes, of course, it was just an idea to put on the table.

One more piece of information about this situation: it seems the heirs to the kingdom, which is now separate from the actual TK order, are still getting their German culture conversion. I'm not sure of this, maybe they somehow got it before or something else happened, but it looks odd. By contrast, the proper hochmeisters (duchy of TK) don't get that culture conversion (so the current one is Danish).
