Female antipope

[vitek69]

Yes, it happened in my last Cyprus game, there is a female antipope Now, to serious business - I married her to my kinsman, and their children will inherit her weak claim on the papacy. But! Is there actually such a scenario possible where I could push the claim?

Also, why is she called "Queen" Eugenia?

If your mod allows female bishops, you should be able to get female antipopes.

I'm not using a mod

The base game allows female bishops--if you directly hold a bishopric, you can grant the title to a woman if you have absolute cognatic succession.

She's a Queen because there is no localization for female bishops, so she uses the default one for her rank.
You'd need to add 'temple_king_female' for a case like this or edit landed_titles so k_papacy gets a 'title_female'.

She's not a bishop though. I think she's the pope's daughter?

Ahh thanks! Of course:] EDIT: But she's landless...

Landless doesn't matter, the title is king tier so gets treated like a king. Technically the pope in-game is a king tier bishop, or temple_king, but he gets unique localization. This avoids any bishop who inherits a kingdom also being called Pope, as would happen in CK1.

I made my wife an anti-pope in my Roman Empire game, unfortunately you can't press claims for female anti-popes so I couldn't make her the proper pope despite having given her the Vatican.
