I think there's an event on Crimea that causes that pretty early on, so I'm pretty sure it's WAD.

shouldnt it be march?

Oh, the march event came and went 100ish years earlier. This was a straight up Catholic Crimea ruler died and PUd with the Sunni Ottomans with the same dynasty.

Its WAD. Its very unusual, but still WAD.

For a personal union to form, the junior must be Christian and a monarchy. There are some edge cases where a non-Christian country can lead a PU. Sometimes this happens when a rival contests the forming of a personal union on a ruler's death. It's generally rare that the same dynasty rules two different countries with different religious groups but it can happen in weird cases.

For the record, the Ottomans could switch to a theocracy or republic and they'd still maintain the PU.

what happened is crimea turning orthodox and getting dynasty spread FROM ottomans before it.

then crimea ruler died heirless while otto and crimea shared dynasty.

hence, crimea falls in a Union with same dynasty partner.

its just PU mechanic at work.

but this is indeed an edge case paradox likely overlooked when "fixing" christian monastic orders getting non christian dynasties.

maybe they should install a hard block for non christians to ever lead a PU, even when they somehow share dynasty with a christian nation.

for the record, i have seen mamluks get PU over coptic natiosn also in this forum, exact same reason as above
