3rd Feb beta: the archbishopric of England
So, this is how it happened. I play a game as the Duke of Berwick. I didn't notice at first what was happening in England because I was busy spreading rebellion in Scotland by excommuniating the king, to eventually usurp his title more easily. Any way, at the same time, the same thing (with a heretical king) was happening in England where a huge civil war was taking place. The funny part came when the last vassal to make peace with the De Normandie was the archbishop of Sussex (who happened to be some cousin of mine, I was the papal controller after all...).
I really don't know how this cousin came to hold a claim on England, but he sure had it since the peace-terms made him King of England. At least, this is what I thought at first when I saw his face in a red-golden circle with a small crown beneath. Actually, he was, and still is, Archbishop of England, and bishop of three-four counties in the area.
I don't know if this is really a bug, but it seems weird that either he didn't become a secular lord, or kept his archbishopric and gave the realm to some courtier of his (or some cousin...). I still don't know about his succession since he is a young man, but I fear that, now that England is considered an archbishopric, the next "kings" will be archbishops...
Has anyone ever seen something like this?
