Kingdoms I'm trying to consolidate are Ireland (mine) and England - apparently now called Lloegyr, ruled by a distant kinsman.

Is there a limit to types of realms you can consolidate with these tricks? I've read the Advanced Marriage Guide, but it's a little above my play level still so I wanted to get the specifics spelled out.Įdit: Answering questions and points raised in other answers, and refining my question. What are some easy ways to accomplish that? Intermarrying? Obscure succession rules? So a thought occurred to me: since we're of the same dynasty, I should be able to engineer a way to get both thrones under the same ruler (with myself pulling the strings, naturally). They've taken several of my Welsh counties, several Irish counties and one Duchy I've had an eye on, and the Kingdom of Normandy (I think? It's called Bretton Breagh or something equally confusing).

The problem is, they're being way more aggressive that previous Kings of England. Quite a bit of politicking, if I had planned it :-) That's also how I lost the Scottish Duchy to Brittish control. Turns out she was the only child to a mother who was a female Norman usurper I had married patrilinearly to my dynasty, so her son inherited the Kingdom of England. I honestly don't remember how far back it goes or how they won the throne.Įdit: Dynasty viewer reveals that King -1 married a niece matrilinearly to a Scottish Duke, who I remember granting land to and pressing a claim for. I think I did this to secure an alliance or claim on some English or Welsh duchy. I've made it to the 3rd generation of Kings of Ireland and somehow managed to land a dynasty member on the Throne of England. I'm following several guides' suggestions for learning the feudal system and started a game as a Count of Ireland.
