Keeping Seniority Succession Type

[doroboro]

As the King of Bohemia, I pressed the claim of my on for Hungary. Eventually that son became the King of both Bohemia and Hungary.

Bohemia had the seniority succession and Hungary has the partition variety, so I was wondering how to bring Hungary in line with Bohemia so that there can be one heir. Currently i have two sons, one is in line to get Hungary and my one Duchy/County there. And then there's my official heir, who is going to keep all the bohemian holdings.

From what I can see, I can disinherit the second son, and since they currently only have a sister, he is in line for Hungary for one more generation. Another option is to make Hungary my primary title, then switch everything over to partition and play the usual inheritance games.

I am trying to keep the seniority succession thing going for RP and learning purposes so I prefer the first option but I am not sure if it's viable.

So you're already playing as the son who is both the king of bohemia and hungary? Unless there's a law attached to the title, succession should be a singular thing for the entire realm and not a per kingdom thing. If I have house seniority succession, I've always been able to just destroy all of the election laws and designate my heir (skipping the whole concept of house seniority) to have that person inherit everything.

Is your son's culture possibly different than his fathers, which caused you to lose house seniority succession without you noticing?

I guess you could simply destroy the title of Hungary.

... As long as you have partition and not confederate partition, you can always recreate the title later on and then it's succession will be in line with your primary title. :)

Also, if he completly controls the duchies of Hungary for long enough, they will become de jure part of the Kingdom of Bohemia.

I played a Republic once in Ck2 with Seniority. Very old men would inherit and then die shortly thereafter. I never had a stable realm due to new ruler penalties. I don't know if it would be the same in Ck3 if you have a large dynasty tree like I did at the time.

I ended up taking no action and am now controlling the son that rules over Bohemia, while the son that rules Hungary is my player heir and has Bohemia in his inheritance, so the stars should align on that.

I think next time around, I would press the Hungary claim for the son, then declare war on the son for those titles (or murder and such), and then Bohemia's Seniority laws would have superseded. I didn't have the prestige for that here because it was just the start of the game.

Generally I am trying to learn the game and wanted some exposure to different systems, and this start was interesting and not the usual race to primogeniture. Maybe I'll reinstate Seniority later when I complete the tech for it - I think if I am hands on with educating the whole family in stewardship, we might make it work! In the meanwhile I got voted in to lead the HRE, can that hurt?
