My god. He looks magnificent. That beard. That hat.
That dynasty name though! "Sandwich"! Now I wanna create a Sandwich dynasty, all started after a deli owner decided that he should quit his job making sandwiches and should become king instead
First time I've seen the Indians rampage outside their subcontinent.
In my current game the Safavids converted to Hinduism from Islam, which led to a situation like yours, first time I'd ever seen any of the Dharmic faiths actually grow in that direction too.
Supposedly the Earl of Sandwich
Sandwich itself was a Cinque Port in Kent and quite important in the ck2 era
So here's the backdrop, this has been one of my most interesting games yet(I started off in Finland at 1066 and managed to create the Russian Empire while staying completely tribal until virtually all my vassals were feudal and I essentially had no choice but to switch as well)
Anyways the Ilkhanate had gone on a pretty terrifying rampage, managing to conquer Persia from the Seljuks(although it was in the midst of a revolt so they only got about 2/3rds of it, after which the rebellion returned to Seljuk control), as well as Greece from the Byzantines. They looked pretty much unstoppable, until the Shiite Caliph called a jihad for Persia. I have no idea how, but they managed to win despite the Ilkhanate being able to raise upwards of 170k troops. However, while that was happening, the Sunni Caliph called a jihad simultaneously. But now that Persia is split between the Fatmid caliphate and Seljuks, there isn't any part of Persia under Mongol control, but the Sunni Jihad is still going on (and they're actually winning). I assume that if they win they won't get any territory, but to be honest I'm not complaining. I'm glad the Ilkhanate's occupied in the Middle East, as my recently-turned feudal Russia is no where near ready to take on Mongol doomstacks.
Also interesting to note is that the Golden Horde is totally surrounded by the Ilkhanate, and despite having ~95k troops they won't declare war on the Ilkhanate, who can still raise ~130k. But it's possible that if the Ilkhanate erodes even further the Golden Horde might take the opportunity to start their own conquest.

So yep, she made it (Though apparently her title is King-Bishop rather than Pope, and she doesn't get to take a cool "Pope Name")
Unless it's your empire.Welcome then
Shattered empire, best empire !
Well, it finally happened.
With that, I think I might leave this doomed world. My starter family has devolved to Courier status thanks to the Lollards turning Connacht into a Prince-Bishopric, and the Angelous family cannot break out of their role as the stewards of a single county.

So not sure if it really qualifies as strange or not, but as I understand it stats and traits are randomized for the most part in games - especially the farther back you go. Well...I rolled a doozy of a opening character.
On the plus side...I don't have to worry about a pesky marital prestige hit.

Ah. Just took me by surprise is all (Though thinking back on it, I should have tried Seduction Focus with him for laughs).
I have seen simular pictures. Thought it was not something that would happen normally without console commands or something. But this happened in my normal vanilla play-through recently.

Courier status? You'll be fine, in a bit one of them'll get shot in the head with an arrow, recover, murder the ridiculously old genius ruler of Venice and take over while easily holding off the Byzantines and HRE.
You'll also get help from a ridiculously helpful Venetian eunuch, who's also known as "Sì Man".
