Yeah yeah, I know zombie thread yadda yadda...
Got myself a situation. Currently playing an Irish dynasty that holds the empire of Alba/Britain, most of the Iberian peninsula and I married the heir to the Byzantine empire. We had a daughter and a son prior to her ascension so kiddies number 3 & 4 were born in the purple making them the heir of Byzantine but our first son the heir of my empire. Not sure if infanticide will work to get both empires under my dynasty. I don't get to add Son#1 as Despot as I'm not In the seat for Byzantine yet. The way I see it I can bump off #1 son or both #3 & #4. But stll being in the prime of life mum and dad are likely to have more purple sprogs. I could also kill off mum as well which should force the succession if #3 & #4 are out of the way. Anyone have any ideas suggestion thoughts of any kind? |

I decided to kill of the first son which was not a bad idea because mum and dad had another 3 kids before mum died. Dad ended up committing suicide to get the success rolling and now I'm trying to sort out the Byzantine mess. Lots of holy wars to do.

Yeah, just watch yourself in Byzantine, they have a nice way of dealing with assassins. I tried getting rid of my aunt, the Empress, who had overthrown me after my father had a rule of about three months before snuffing it of pneumonia, it failed miserably and I was imprisoned, and then released...but not before the guards visited me in the small hours with a pair of scissors, and I don't have any children.
On the up side, when I finally snuff it it should switch over to a more capable character. |

As I bumped off the one who wasn't getting the Byzantine throne it looks like they let me keep having kids. Now playing as number 2 son and taking back my dejure duchies and counties off the mullahs and Mongols.
