How can I secure my demesne in gavelkind succession?

Kill them all!


Seriously, kill the kids off you don't want.

Abortion should be legit until 180 trimester

You're not allowed to plot to kill your own child.

But you can imprison and execute them.

Can't you simply imprison them and force them to take the vows? (If they are adults, obviously)

It would kind of save you from the dreadful kinslayer modifier.

I'm not sure to be honest, I usually just murder them because I'm a horrible b******

Sending unwanted kids to bishoprics or monasteries is good for Christians, sure, but pagans and such don't have the option.

Maybe you should be able to send them to join holy orders, rather than having non-inheriting kids ask you for permission to join.

If you're Christian you can force your children to take the vows after imprisoning them, which saves you from getting 10 points of tyranny and the Kinslayer trait. However, you still get the 40 points of tyranny for imprisoning without a valid reason.

Spy on them with the intrigue focus, you should get the opportunity to slander them and imprison them for no tyranny cost in the space of a year.

tl;dr Best way to manage gavelkind - change succession laws.

So it turns out two of my problems are a direct result of being Cathar, lol. Cathar bishops are allowed to inherit, and catholic tribes you acquire after switching to feudalism won't convert to feudalism until after they become cathar. So, I've got my daughter proselytizing in one of them.

Pretty much this. If pagan, convert or reform. If tribal, upgrade. Either way you can regain your demesne afterward by revoking titles.
