Playable Mergovians?

[Lord Hoosier]

In 769 or any later start date are there landed Mergovians?

 

[Dakilla TM]

There is a claimant alive in 769. Except he's not landed. So you will have to play as a different character and grant him land, or hope that a faction will be successful in placing him as the king of Francia.

 

[TheRealRemus]

nope the last one is a monk in 769, just like historicaly. He lived a insignificant life as monk and was forgotten.

 

[mrstevehazzard]

If you press a faction for his claim and win he loses the monk trait. I just played a really fun game as the Merovingians.

You can still make him a non-monk by giving him a city settlement. By this method, I was able to marry him off and slowly breed the blood of Merovich into my own dynasty.

In a lot of games he ends up being installed by factions

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

In non ironman best person to press claim is the Vyz emperor. Invite him to your court, demand conversion (removes monk trait,) grant him land, and immediately press his claims. Easy Western Europe secured.

 

[Woifee]

I made him lose the monk trait by converting him to the germanic faith. Then a wife and 3 concubines and I got his dynasty roling again.

As saxon I bought a favour to invite him to my court.

 

[TheRealRemus]

sure you can reinstall and rebuild their dynasty, which I did too (though they went extinct again because AI is to stupid to handle their stuff on their own).
But OP asked for playable merovingers which there are non.
however you could console switch to a landed desendant or mod it.

 

[Super-Soviet]

I created a female ruler as his liege whose only purpose was to breed a new dynasty of super-bastards from him.

Only in ckii do we genetically engineer women to breed with monks hailing from dead dynasties to create "super-bastards" in order to restore a dynasty that should be long dead and buried.

 

[faiuwle]

I discovered you can take him as a consort and get his bloodline if you are a woman who's allowed to have consorts and you get him into your court somehow. However, I think short of ruler designer there's no one like that in diplomatic range in 769.

The only ironman compatible way that could work (?) would be to restore them on the throne.
Marry a descendant of his into your court and land him.
Keep that dynasty alive until the crusades.
Make them a beneficiary.
Win crusade.
Switch when asked and play as the merovingian king of the crusade.

this sounded good, but its not possible because your elected beneficiary has to be of your dynasty (says the wiki).
I know that its possible to Start a new dynasty that way if the recipiant is a unmarried bastard of your dynasty.
He could get an kingdom and as soon as he marries creates his own dynasty.

If you managed to get a bastard of you dynasty with a merovingan father you could do that and role play as merovingan offspring.

However it would take pretty long as you had to Start in the earliest year and wait for the crusades to Trigger
