PU over a vassal, is it possible?

[babuchas1]

Simple question. You can put a relative in their throne, so they get your dinasty, for a nice -5% permanent LD reduction, but I wonder if it's even possible to get a PU over them eventually. I've never seen that though.

If you get a PU over your vassal, you inherit their lands directly

Thank you, I didn't know if that was even possible. Another reason to put relatives in their thrones...

That and the potentially incestuous marriages.

Found the CK2 player.

I'm assuming this can happen even if the country in question has been a vassal for less than 50 years. If true, then aside from LD and legitimacy (I think relatives start out on weak or average legitimacy), I see little reason to not always put relatives on vassal thrones.

Actually the event which triggers for PUing a vassal means instant-integration.

But would it be possible for others to gain a PU over you vassal. Like Brandenburg inherited Prussia even though it was a Polish vassal

Will that integration cause a hit to diplomatic relations, like diplo-annexing does?

Not to my knowledge no. I've only seen it in screenshots, not had it happen although. But I imagine it would work the same as PU-based inheritance.

No since it's a direct inheritance

My understanding, gleaned from elsewhere on this forum, is that PU formation goes through a weird cycle, and about 5% of the time one can directly inherit land rather than get a PU. For vassals, you can't get them as PU juniors, but if the monarch death happens while the game is in the 'inherit directly' window you can inherit them.

I know that. I'm asking if it triggers on countries that have been vassals for less than 50 years. I'm assuming it does.

Also does it work on vassals of different faiths? E.g. if I as catholic Castile place my dynasty on muslim Fez. Or can you not place a relative on the throne of a vassal of a different faith? It's been a while since I played EU4.

No problem for that. Play Muscovy, RM one of your vassals with your dynasty, then kill its ruler until you inherit its lands
