Presume it's just an odd series of events has left me with a weird problem. Started as Armenia in 867, now king and doing well, using elective and had my genius grandson down as heir. Then he somehow gets installed as Byzantine emperor after a tyranny revolt there, but as a foreign schismatic doesn't last long, though he does keep the duchy of Thrace and what turns out to be the viceroyalty of Moesia. Stick with him as heir hoping he doesn't turn Greek, or Orthodox etc in the mean time, and current character pushing seventy. He does inherit but now I'm stuck with Moesia and can't give it away as we don't have the viceroyalty system and because sons are in line to inherit it, can't pick them as kingdom heirs either. Can't destroy it either as of course despite the above it's gavelkind.
Any way out of this, or perhaps will it resolve itself once current holder dies? Does seem wrong that you're stuck with a system you can't use, ought to default to feudal.

If you hold a viceroyalty you can change your other titles to primo regardless of laws, probably precisely because of this situation.
Thanks, handy to know, though think I'll stick with elective here as we're a small kingdom and I can usually get a good candidate as heir and if not electors are all dynasty members so no great disaster. Landed the son who's due to inherit Moesia in a conquered duchy and although he's not eligible for succession other grandkids are so will go with them and see what happens on succession, hopefully will become an NPC problem.
