What just happened?

Succession laws of multiple kingdoms can be a bit strange and I am not sure what exactly happened here:
I was playing as the king of Sweden, Finland and Portugal, with extensive holdings in the first.

As the character was quite old when I became him, I started changing most succession laws, except those of the Kingdom of Sweden (those had been changed already in this guy's life). Both Finland's & Portugal's laws are changed to primogeniture and so are my duchies&counties in Sweden. My mistake was that my oldest son (who died long before) had a son, so this grandson of mine was the heir, not my other living son. However, regardless of this, when I die. The crown of Sweden passes on to someone else, including all my counties&duchies in Sweden and I play my grandkid with a few holdings in Finland and Portugal. Why did the new Swedish king get all my beautiful, fully upgraded counties?

If you own multiple kingdoms, any counties and duchies will go to their de jure liege on succession. Unfortunate in your case.
It is very misleading on duchies etc. indeed. The best thing to prevent things like this in the future is to destroy the kingdom title of Sweden perhaps, that'd ensure the duchy laws are used instead.

Okay, that's strange, I thought those succession laws were distinct for a reason. Oh well. Time to sit and plot to get it all back. Thanks!
