I've heard on various CKII wikis that kings as vassals are naturally 'uppity', but I haven't seen any solid discussion of the mechanics that make them so. I do already know that my Lithuanian dukes want the Kingdom and that has a hefty opinion penalty, but I don't know what sort of ambitions vassal kings have that might be worse.
I've never played an Emperor though, so I'm unfamiliar with managing kings as vassals. (Right now a Polish county and the Kingdom of Lithuania would go to my second son, which would mess with the borders of the two kingdoms in ways I don't like.) I figure I can always remarry into those titles later anyway. I also have enough of Pomerania to create that kingdom whenever I want.īecause I still have gavelkind succession (Poland's starting Crown Laws suck and I haven't had enough rulers yet to get high enough Crown Authority to change to Primogeniture), I'm contemplating giving away the King of Lithuania title and maybe creating and giving away the King of Pomerania title, so that I can choose how the Realm is divided up instead of having bits and pieces randomly redistributed on succession.
I'm newly the Wendish Emperor, as well as King of Poland and King of Lithuania.
