Shady Inheritance Question.

[VoiceGS]

Hey all

I'm playing as a Norse Duke in the 769 start and because I love playing as the Norse but I hate Gavelkind I usually use concubines and seduction focus to insure that I have male kids to continue my dynasty.

A question I have always pops up. I always legitimise my first born male kid. So my question is if I have a second male kid and decide to acknowledge him as mine but don't legetimise him can he still be voted in as my heir as the tool tip doesn't really say if that would happen. I know that kids of his would create their own dynasty so I don't think they could voted as my heir.

Does anyone have any idea about this?

Thanks!

I want to say no, as recognized but illegitimate children of your dynasty can never inherit titles. So it stands to make sense that under elective gavelkind the same rules apply.

Hey

Thanks for the reply. Well I went ahead and acknowledge him but did not legetamise him and so far I can't even nominate as heir so it's looking good. It will be interesting to see what house names they pick.
