can't usurp Brittany

[Kataphract]

Playing as France
Trying to form Empire of Francia
Just taken 4/6 provinces of the Duchy of Brittany
Want to usurp the Duchy to get enough % to form the Empire
It says "Cannot usurp this title before 24 June, 1085"
It is now 24 July....... and I still can't usurp :(
Help?

If you can form the Kingdom that the dutchy is part of you can declare war on them to take the land. If your one of those Op republics you can delcare war on each city on each county and get them that way.

If there is a truce between you and the title holder, you have to wait until the truce expires.

You can´t usurp it because you need to have Celtic culture, I think.

That was my first thought too, then I realised - that's for the Kingdom; culture doesn't affect whether or not you can usurp Duchies.

If you're trying to form Francia, it's actually pretty hard. Do you have a kingdom outside of France? you'll need one.
Btw, how much % do you actually need to form Francia? I couldn't find it on the wiki...

It's usually 80% for Empires, I can't imagine Francia would be different.

Usurping before a particular date is tricky. You can't usurp at the exact date... you'll have to wait a few more days... I don't why that is so, but that has been my observation in my games.

simple solution, i misread the year :P
It was 1084 and i had to wait til 1085
