Death Of A Revolting Vassal.

[biggoofy]

I'm playing as the King of Scotland. I discovered a plot of the Duke of Galloway to lower crown authority, I attempt to imprison him, but he revolts. As I'm sieging his capital he dies, his son succeeds him, the war ends, but they do not rejoin my realm; his son is now the independent Duke of Galloway and The Isles and I have no claim to bring him back into the kingdom. Am I correct in assuming this is a bug?

I assume so. I have noticed that a lot of vassals are fighting wars of independence against the ai. I thought that civil wars would be more important where kingdoms aren't splintered on the map. Still a great game so far though!

I don't mind the civil wars; I welcome them. However, if a revolting vassal dies the war shouldn't end with his successor being independent.

sounds like a fluke - I usually assassinate my revolting vassals to just end the war quickly and they've never left my realm before - The only thing I can think of is their heir may of been a member of another Kingdom or something.

War resolutions are really screwy at the moment, and end up with gamey outcomes like this. Save often in wars.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't. He was an independent ruler; he wasn't a vassal of anyone else.

After that fiasco the game took a turn for the worse. I pressed a courtier's claim on one of the Duke's counties but as soon as I did the Duchess of York, who controlled most of England, pressed her claim on the Duchy of Lothian. Maybe if Scotland was in one piece I could've fended off her 9000 strong army but as it was Scotland is now a shell of it's former glory. Poor King Neil.
