[2.3] Possible bug with legitimization

[NewbieOne]

Description etc.:

Unfortunately its not that simple because I seduced the queen of France when she had her husband as her lover. Great way to make them hate each other. Also the love child that resulted I legitimized and caused the crowns of Aquitaine and France to split so that was fun.

The father legitimizing a child born of adultery and enabling that child to inherit from a monarch who had a spouse at the time the child was conceived is just simply not something that would have worked in the middle ages.

The only person who realistically could legitimize bastards in that kind of fashion was the pope, who wouldn't have done something like that, and France would still have had a way of legislating on its succession anyway.

Similarly, a bastard of king of France becoming an independent count shouldn't have the option to legitimize himself and become heir of France. This is an absolute must to implement.

This is more of a suggestion than a bug, so it would be a better fit in the suggestions sub forum.

I might be confused here, but there is no way that you should be able to legitimize yourself as a bastard, in order to become an heir.

Nah. Theoretically, any AI-controlled count or countess could legitimize the child he or she had with someone at the emperor tier, messing up the succession. That's hardly a feature/WAD/whatever, and definitely an exploit.

According to forum conversations att some point bastards were able to legitimize themselves on inheritance, but I
