He would later in life fight in the Siege of Paris against vikings, and be crowned the King of West Francia.

Shouldn't he be the Count of Anjou in 867 instead of Count of Chartres like in that bookmark?

Somewhat off topic, but can I just say thank god they're using AD and not that god awful CE crap? Nice surprise after Imperator.

eugh, real annoyed theyve made charles the bald actually bald again. i guess when they fixed that for holy fury that was just an accident and they never bothered to correct it
literally all contemporary depictions show him actually being quite hairy, his epithet is something of a mystery. it may have been ironic, because he was actually a pretty hirsute dude, or it may have been a euphemistic reference to his landlessness due to the fact that when he was born, his older brothers were all already adults and he wasnt set to inherit anything. theres even an argument he was literally never known by this epithet in his lifetime and it was invented after the fact. this is an absolutely nothing issue but it still bugs me every time

It's difficult to call. Depictions I can find on short notice seem to suggest he had quite a lot of hair as a young man, but lost it all by his middle age. Some, however, do depict him with long hair in his older years. I don't suppose something like this would be too difficult to mod, fortunately.

King of Magyar? What? Is he a ruler of exactly one person? That must suck for him.

That's something that always bugged me in CK. It shouldn't be the "Kingdom of Magyar", that doesn't make any sense! "Magyar" is an adjective, it's like calling France the "Kingdom of French" or Italy the "Kingdom of Italian". It makes no sense whatsoever. I certainly would rename all tribal titles like that it's at least in plural or something, or use a short form (eg. how it's "(the) Byzantine Empire "and not "Empire of Byzantine Empire"), so as "Magyars", "Magyar Kingdom", "Kingdom of (the) Magyars", etc. Any of these would make more sense than this lmao

I wonder have they permanently removed the dynastic naming conventions for Indian realms or is it due to a game setting?
Does anyone else think its strange that nearly all of the "Interesting Characters" are Catholic western Europeans? Even the Iberia in Pieces bookmark doesn't recommend any Muslims. I hope that this isn't a sign that Islamic gameplay is not on par with catholic gameplay. It's just strange to keep expanding the map East if they aren't even comfortable highlighting any of the diverse rulers that they are creating.

Probably either game setting or an older version of the game; the 1066 map has dynastically named Indian realms.
Full map screenshots
A thread to post all the full map screenshots we have seen so far County Map Duchy Map Kingdom Map Empire Map 1066 start date 1066 culture map Updated 1066 start date map to the map shown in the new DD as some changes were made.
They do have a 1066 Iberian Muslim in the "Rags to Riches" bookmark. But it is somewhat surprising, and he looks to be the only Muslim (we don't even get someone like the Saffarids or Samanids). And no Indians at all.
They don't seem to have a problem showing off the pagans though; we get pretty much all the sons of Ragnar plus Rurik, Haestein and Almos and (probably) Daurama.
I am slightly annoyed there's no featured rulers in the eastern part of the map.
