Habsburg marriage shenanigans

Playing along nicely as Brandenburg, buddied up to the Austrian Emperor.
Then I get a message that Austria has claimed my throne. I know I haven't changed dynasty, and either have they.
Apparently my dowager-duchess regent must have been the sister to their dowager-empress regent (both von Wettin), so technically we do have the same dynasty.
What won't the von Habsburgs do for a throne? Thankfully nothing came of it.

Well letting them become your dynasty does have advantages. Like turning it back on them and becoming Brandenburg-Austria.

Neither of us actually changed dynasties. Our heirs still had original dynasty - mine remained von Hohenzollern, theirs remained von Habsburg.
