Seniority Succession Problem, why isn't the King of Hungary 4th in line?

[Tim O]

Started a 1066 game as the Duke of Bohemia. I crowned myself king and I've managed to put my kin on thrones of Poland and Hungary. However, though the King of Poland is my heir, the King of Hungary is nowhere to be seen and I don't know why.

Here you can see the line of succession. The 4th in line is my 23 year old son.


However, the King of Hungary is 28. He's definitely of my dynasty and there does not seem to be an extenuating circumstances. He's directly descended from my uncle, and is not descended from a woman via a matralineal marriage. Nor is he in a matrilineal marriage, he has a son of our dynasty. He is Hungarian instead of Bohemian, but I've never noticed cultures mattering to inheritance before. Is this just a bug?

HRE has the controlled realm inheritance law. The king of Hungary can't inherit you since that would carve a piece out of the empire but you could try to arrange it so that you inherit Hungary. Or you could declare independence.

Ah, you're right. How annoying. I was hoping to take over the HRE from the inside with my Slavic & Magyar hordes.

You could always swear Fealty to them, then do that.

Huh? I'm already a part of the HRE.
