Wife Claims

[Bad german crusader]

If a ruler is particulary evil/bad and his wife is very popular there should be an event where the wife gets a strong claim on the primary title of her husband (compareable to Catherine the Great, who kicked her own husband of the throne (yes i know thats a later period but it would be a nice thing) )

Calculations for the event could be based on the average vassal opinion of a ruler and if it is significantly lower than the average vassal opinion of his wife would be if she ruled the event would have a chance to happen, possibly increasing the chance the higher the difference in average opinion is.

Same would of course go in case of a ruling queen and her husband.

I always thought that it should be possible to "earn" claims, either by being the popular, well loved (and competent) wife of weak king, or by being a ruthless and ambitious Councilor. There should be an event for these claims to be generated, ESPECIALLY if the new king/ruler is an infant. It would be great to see say, your unscrupulous Chancellor decide that he should take care of the realm until the young princeling has come of age, then having said princeling magically "disappear" during the intervening years.

Cool ideas! There could be "hidden agenda" options for councellers connected to the tasks he is doing for the council, where a counceller can pick between two - one is weakening the liege by ruining stuff close the area in which he operates and the other is strenghtening himself in an area close to where he operates, not necessarely damaging for the liege but definately exceeding given authority. The liege outskilling him in the given area should be close to 100% detection so its risky business, even if the counceller is far higher skilled in the area
