Papal vassal overthrowing their liege and becoming Pope

[Frenz0rz]

My wife, the Countess of Spoleto (formerly the Duchess of Tuscany until some bugger pinched her title) started a war of independence from the Holy Roman Empire during a bit of a succession crisis. However, the current Pope then used this as an opportunity to declare war on as her de Jure ducal liege. Long story short, his army got there before either mine (which was currently fighting a crusade for Jerusalem) or the Emperor's. She lost, and he became her liege.

Then a few years later, for some reason she started a war to overthrow her liege. The friggin Pope. I helped her win, thinking it would let her claim independence, but instead the current Pope was deposed and replaced with her 'preferred ruler'. Herself. So now my wife is the Pope!

Ok.. that's not entirely good. Thank you for reporting it, will pass it on.

I guess you're running 1.05g?

Do you also have a save game of this?

PI games setting new standards in terms of equal rights.

I see the lady pope likes to rule in her birthday suit. If only she were a little nicer on the eyes .

This is an issue in regards to the Papacy acquiring de Jure lands via drift. Once drift has occurred vassals of the papacy can do that. CK2+ has circumvented this issue by making the Papacy an emperor tier title.

Haha, I am interested to see what caused this bug exactly... And perhaps replicate it.
