Threat reset after creating Holy Roman Empire

[GloverJD]

I was emperor of Francia and had a threat level of 48%. I decided to create the HRE and boom my threat was reset to zero. I'm not sure if this had to do with forfeiting my Francia title or the pope getting a few counties. Either way, I thought it was mildly interesting and wanted to share.

most likely not an intended effect

Whenever you give land away, your threat goes away.

It's because threat is liked to your title so all that threat is linked to Francia and it disappears when you form HRE.
