Duchy of Provence, and Duchy of Dauphin....check

Fabricated claim on Savoy...Check

Independence from the HRE thanks to me hopping on them when they jumped in the Fracas over England with their pal in Norway, Jumped in too late to save them, but late enought for me to rack up some gold for cheap mercs (imprisoned and killed 7 "important men", made my point to the kaiser)... Check

All my non family Vassals hate me, but I got 3 castles (with squire lists) in my Demense, and money for mercs if need be...check. (I have 2 wonderful sons who would make great counts.)

Even earned "the great" title without using the ambition.

So how long before it melts down?

I am not going for King of Burgundy, I am trying the primogeniture Super Duke strategy. I only miss out on free investiture, but can hold many duchy titles within my dynasty as long as possible without having to worry about penalties or having to deal with the crap that happens with gavelkind when your dynasty head dies.

I will destroy The HRE, as well as that Capet scum.

I hope
