Ambition: Become Steward/Marhsal/Spymaster: How to fulfill?

[MechDrek]

I am struggling with becoming my liege's steward etc. As Duke of Swabia I had a pretty good relationship with my King, was rather good in the attribute and silently disposed of the old steward. But I wasn't named his successor. Is there more I can do?

Thanks!

As far as I can tell you are more likely to get picked stewerd if you have the ambition to. ofcourse you need pretty good stats for that to happen.

If you kill everybody in his court of age he'll HAVE to pick you then.
