I can't believe how badly Portugal is bugged! Does anyone play Portugal in AGCEEP? I'm stuck with Regency Council after death of Sebastiăo I because events for Portuguese reaction to Filipe II's claims will only happen if Sebastiăo I died crusading in Morocco. Of course, I totally conquered Morocco in 15th century, so POR events for Filipe II's claims never happened to me, entirely braking the event chain for succession crisis. This is the fix so that the events can happen even if Sebastiăo I died in his sleep:
#-#In 1580, a regency council convened in Portugal to settle the succession. With the death of Sebastião I, Portugal was left with no clear heir. In 1580, several people had claims to the throne: Filipe II of Spain, son of D. Isabel (daugther of D. Manuel I) who had a large support of the nobles but lacked peasant support, D. Antonio, despised by the nobles because he was an illegitimate son of D. Luis (son of D. Manuel I) but had great support from the lower classes, and finally, D. Catarina, the Duchess of Bragança. She was the legitimate daughter of D. Duarte (son of D. Manuel I). Duchess Catarina Bragança had the best claim to the throne but the nobles were unwilling to overlook her gender. Dismissing her claims left the nobles to either appeal to a foreign power, the claims of Filipe II of Spain, or accept Dom Antonio, illegitimate son of D. Luis. Filipe II sent diplomats to Lisbon to convince the aristocracy that he was the ideal heir for Portugal. If the Kingdom entered into a personal union with Spain, Filipe II would allow Portugal to keep its own laws and Cortes. Such a union would also be highly profitable at a time when the Portuguese economy was failing as no longer would the Spanish Kingdom fight against its trading interests. Lacking a suitable alternative, the nobles joined forces with the Spanish.

Responding in kind, the nobles had no choice but to accept the offer.

Spain should still get a claim but in that alt-timeline it isn't strong enough to get the nobles to side with it (the response event that shouldn't fire in this case).
