How to "Kingdom of Austria"

from reddit, a user wrote:

...."Unite the Eastern Marches" Which you need to be either the King of Bavaria or the Archduke of Austria and a vassal of the HRE to be able to see. It's basically all of de jure Bavaria + Carinthia and you can take the decision, but you get to choose what the titular kingdom it gives you is. Bavaria, but with Carinthia absorbed into its de jure, Austria, but with all of Bavaria and Carinthia as de jure, and the same for Styria and Carinthia.."


So in my game as archduke of austria, i became Emperor of HRE by accident, but i would actually prefer to be just king of austria, that was my original goal. Can i make it happen?
My idea is to lose the HRE after my rulers death and i am in control of every titel except the HRE one. Can i make the Kingdom of Austria title happen? Giving away every title except the kingdom of bayern and Archduke of Austria and create it? Any ideas? What do i have to do, i just want to be king of austria.

You still can form the custom kingdom of Austria.

That does seem to be the greatest problem to forming the Grand Duchy of Austria; for some reason, the effort you take to make it possible marks you as an excellent Holy Roman Emperor.

Sadly there is still no way to say no get elected.

The title "King of Austria" never existed. The title went from Archduchy of Austria (almost always also held by the Holy Roman Empire since the 1440) to Empire of Austria in 1804.

Yeah but in game you can become king or archduke (still king level). Search Austria and it brings up the duchy, archduchy, and kingdom.

Its pretty well known that the pope loves lunatic cannibals and hates every good Christian king otherwise

Though generally you get a couple of cranky vassals who want someone else with the Reichskrone very quickly...
