Bastard bounce

[Tikiisme]

I had something really weird today, one of my rulers bastard sons kept getting events leaving the court but after a few months for no particualr reason he'd be back. Any idea whats causing this? I am using DVIP but I don't think it's that.

Anyone else had this problem?

had a event playing as norway that made a courtier leave the court and go to the court of norway (meaning leaving and then come back again instantly)

Yea but mine actually left the shield above his name changed and everything...

Something like that happened with my game, except it didnt seem like he left, even though IIRC the loyalty went back to 100%...

He's likely getting expelled from whatever court he went to. Since your ruler is his closest relative, he will go back to that court for lack of a better option.

In Kingslanding's case, he probably could not find a valid court to go to. Most defection events use the random_neighbor target, but occasionally it seems the original court is picked by this target.

When playing the Kingdom of Nubia, I get this often. Because there is no other christian court in the region, they always return to mine.

So f.x. if you own all the land in a specific region, he might have nowhere else to go. An expelled courtier in northern Norway will not migrate to Barcelona.
