Swedish-Danish Double Alliance + Corrections

[Voy]

Noticed that the Swedish-Danish double alliance was missing in game and this miss results in a definite ahistorical outcome of the "Håtuna game" as the Kingdom of Sweden got no alliances and two giant dukes as enemies. In short this Alliance was two marriages between King and foreign King's sister and King's sister and foreign King.

}

I added Birger's spouse with correct date of marriage. I also added employers who he fled to when he was exiled and dethroned. Birger's death date was not exact so I edited it with the correct one. According to the wikipage, his sister, Ingeborg, stayed out of the politics, as Queen of Denmark, so I replaced here "deceitful" trait (was a bad choice from start on your part) with the "content" trait which is a much better idea. Ingeborg took vows (became celibate) after her last child died (by her mistake) and died between 5 April or 15 August 1319, to compensate chose Jun 10th 1319.

The Danes

	mother=451517
	1278.1.30={

	}
	[COLOR="#FFFF00"]1330.1.1={

                remove_trait="ambitious"
	}[/COLOR]
	[COLOR="#FFFF00"]1341.3.2[/COLOR]={

	}
}

Added Erik's spouse. Märta was given the "Ambitious" trait because she played a big part in Swedish politics during the "Håtuna games" as Queen. She too took vows, but only after her return from Germany (from a mission to marry of her daughters to noblemen in order to gain power) when she lost hope of political advancement. Too assure she reside in the right court in any starting date after 1330 she was given Valdemar Atterdag as employer. I corrected her death date which was wrong by c. 20 years.

Offspring?

It is known that both couples had children, but none of them survived them. Currently there is none, but if someone could poke the devs about this they might take a closer look at this themselves.

Wikipages

Both Queens have good wikipages available, but it's not used.

That is a... Wait a minute! 1.08 "fixed" some stuff in the Ylving family, sure, but it didn't do it OCD perfect.

I will tell you what should be done...

101527 = {
	name="Sigrid"
	female=yes
	dynasty=487
	martial=5
	diplomacy=5
	intrigue=5

		birth="1048.9.1"
	}
	1070.1.1={
		death="1070.1.1"
	}
}

Sigrid got her mother fixed great, but (!) was given the bastard trait... ALL Scandinavian children should be legitimate even if born out of wedlock thus she should be given the "legit_bastard" trait, instead of just "bastard", like her siblings which is also legit bastards.

201501 = {

	1231.11.28={

	}
}

These are two of the missing marriages added by patch 1.08. The first one were just not as precise (I added a presumed date of marriage that could be found in the link below) and the second one was wrong by 2 and a half year... according to the wiki and my source of information (links below).

http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/DENMARK.htm#ValdemarIIdied1241B
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdemar_the_Young

91102 = {
	name="Berengária" #Berénguère de Portugal
	female=yes
	dynasty=741 #de Bourgogne
	religion="catholic"

	}
	#Valdemar II de Danemark
	1221.3.27={
		death="1221.3.27"
	}
}

This is more of a suggestion than an error, well it could be a bug considering the trait is missing. If you believe in the 19th century archaeology ideals and Medieval ballards, Berengaria was exceptionally beautiful. I think she should have the attractive trait, definitively!

Done. Happy reporting!

Erik's marriage year is wrong. He married in 1296 not 1286.

 

[Voy]

You are absolutely correct. I pressed the wrong button when I wrote it, it would seem.

 

[Wezqu]

Still on positive note this is very good bug report.

 

[Voy]

Why, thank you, Wezqu. It's fun to report things and think for yourself that if the report is useful and get included into a patch you might have enhanced the game play for someone.
