Lose title upon succession...?

[unmerged(609479)]

Hello,
I just started my first game and it has been running quite smoothly. I just recently became King of Norway through marriage and a, umm... "suspicious accident" :ninja:.
Now, however, the game says that somehow I will lose my title upon succession. Why is this and how can I stop it?

Here is a picture of the situation and the tooltip:

Do you have elective succession? I was going to say it was probably gavelkind but then I noticed you only have one son.

This would be my guess too. On your character page, hover over the little shield icon for any of your titles and it will tell you what the succession laws are and who the first 3 in the line of succession are.

You need to nominate your successor for the Kingdom of Norway. You see how their is a tooltip at the top of the screen that shows a person with a crown on their head? Click on that and it will bring you to the succession window, where you'll be able to select who you want your successor to be, assuming your vassals will agree to it.

I'd like to hear why you thought "Oh, today I'm going to play a ruler-designed Norwegian mass murderer".

Meh, I can imagine it being funny for at least ten minutes while playing. It's the same reason people enjoy choosing the Nazis in WWII games.
