Archduchy of Austria

[Gintro]

Can I form Archduchy of Austria in viking's bookmark?

If you go to the wiki, specifically the Decisions [ck3.paradoxwikis.com] page.

It has the condition that the start date has to be 1066. Also your liege has to be the Holy Roman Emperor, with them either being your dynasty or a strong hook on them.

do you know which code line is responsible for start date requirement? I can't figure it out

The wiki is not always right, as you have noticed.
It's hypothetically possible, but as you can see, the HRE DOES need to exist. You can buddy up with an NPC to try to get them to form the HRE in the 867 start, but that would be an uphill battle. Hope you like babying your liege.
