How long do kings live?

[SuperPizza]

I am currently playing England and My ally and marriage partner, Portugal has no heir and the king is 52 years old. Should I wait unti he's older or claim now? How long would he live for on average?

It varies, i've had my king die at the age 40-50 but also 70-75. The most common i see is 60-67.

I 'think' it would be a safe bet to say that he'll live for atleast another 7 years or so.

Could be wrong tho.

If you claim now he'll probably live another 30 years and somehow produce a heir somehow.
If you don't claim he'll drop dead any time now. :P

Nah, should be about right. A king or queen can die at any age - even with just 16. Once they reach their 60s they are usually approaching their end, but I've also seen some live well into the high 70s.

Okay thanks.

if they have 5+ in a stat, 5 years, if they have 0/0/0, 80+


But honestly, the chance of death seems to go up as they age, things like having them as a general greatly decrease their lifespan, they can live into their 80's (I've never seen a 90+ King, but I havent watched that closely for one)

Female leaders tend to stop having heirs around their 50's, male rulers can have heirs at any age I think.
