Really weird, the AI created a custom kingdom which is the exact same borders as Andalusia. I have no idea how that happened or why.
What culture is the king? Only those cultures of Arabic heritage can create Andalusia, so if his culture has another heritage that might explain why.

Wow! Either the Estonia A.I. is so good that it is holding off the Golden Horde, or the Golden Horde just sucks at recognizing easy targets. Please note that Estonia also no longer has any de jure land and thus acts as an exodus state.

It can not be that the AI is good, I think the second is here clearly true, because the AI does have an Issue recognizing easy Targets.

looks to me like it's still Andalusia but the game is using the ruling House name (check the CoA of the rulers in that history window) for some reason, probably derived from the ruler's culture
if someone from another culture would to conquer the title it should be renamed back to Andalusia or whatever the alternate cultural name for it would be

It's not. For one, it's the wrong shade of green, but the actual name is changed too (see below).

They are all 'Andalusi (the game-start Andalusian culture of Spanish heritage) I'm running CTP but base Andalusian is also Spanish heritage, so I would have thought that Andalusians could form Andalusia.

Maybe there's some alliance involved?
Nope! what is worse is that it used to be stronger, but lost most of its land against the mongols. Maybe the golden horde thinks that the Estonians were defeated by ghengis khan?
 
Maybe it's the same title, just renamed because of the clan government?
See how in the brackets of my second post it says "Malikate of Qurtubuh", if that were the case, it would be "Malikate of Andalusia". Plus the title history shows it was created in 977. So an AI Iberian Muslim definitely made a custom kingdom in de jure Andalusia encompassing the entire borders of Andalusia for some reason.

I see.

Yes, you would think... but the AI can only form the kingdom of Andalusia if its culture is of Arabic heritage:
Code:
		can_create = {
			trigger_if = {
				limit = {
					is_ai = yes
				}
				culture = { has_cultural_pillar = heritage_arabic }
			}
		}

Yes, I realize how weird it is that Andalusians cannot create the kingdom of Andalusia. I didn't write the script, heh. :)

I'm not entirely sure what sort of financial arrangements had my son done prior to becoming the emperor, as he had to repay a costly loan to himself.

Poor girl is so ugly that sending her to a convent wasn't enough. She had to be disinherited too just in case.
It is rather, that the AI is too stupid for this.

I have had the case, that the AI has disinherited their own bastard sons, because the AI Ruler has make this Bastard Son his Rival, via the new W&W Events.

In the end of this Story, this Bastard Son has asked my Character for adoption, because he was my Character's Hostage. but then he complained, how bad his old Father was to him and wanted a Title from my Character(who gave him already a Duchy Title and as a Child a University Education).
(The Devs need to be more careful, when they write new Events).

Oh, I know. The problem is the way it's been coded. The devs seem to have done the easy thing and used secret child mechanics to code adoption instead of making a new system. There are many issues with this, not least that the sort of adoption you are talking about would not have led to losing inheritance from your real parents. I get reusing old infrastructure to make new things, but I think this could have done with a little reinventing the wheel.
