What now (General Question / Sweden Scenario)

[unmerged(610829)]

I am playing the Sweden Scenario (first date) and now I hold all Titles within my borders.

Considering my Demense is at 14/6 and I don't have the required Tech, I suppose I should distribute some of my holdings to my Children and maybe to some of my Council ? I am also about thinking how to manipulate Throne Succession to my advantage.

So what do I do now ?
I know I can still press some De Jure claims up North but I'd rather secure my position completely first.

What is your succession law?

Yeah, it's best to distribute your holdings. People have different ways as to how to do this, but personally, I'd advise you to balkanise your vassals. Find people who have no holdings and give them one county. If needed, find people who have one county and give them a duchy (but only if you have too many, of course). Do not give anything to people who have the wrong traits: Ambitious is the worst, but Envious isn't good either and I'm sure there are others, while Content people are very good candidates because of the excellent relations bonus. If you can, find candidates who are male, married, with at least one suitable heir, and not of any other vassal's dynasty. Don't worry if you can't fulfill all these conditions. The most important thing is to avoid empowering Ambitious vassals, really.

Be careful with giving lands to your children - depending on the succession laws, this may end up badly as those children who don't get the throne may try to take it. Give them only one county if you want/need to (e.g. because of the unlanded sons prestige malus).

Agnatic-Cognatic Elective I believe.

I am a young King aged 19 and I have two sons. I also have several brothers and sisters.

As you said I reduced my Holdings by giving Counties to the "content" people. They banished several People with negative Opinion towards me, I am not sure what to make of it though.

Give it to distant relatives (with your family-name) with no claims on your titles.

Or, give it to your heir.
