Aed ua Conchobair, duke of Connacht – an old guy with realm of two is weaker than Murchad, but still relevant since he is duke, but he lacks the bloodline and lands.That bloodline can be passed to his descendants which give ua Brians an advantage over other Irish rulers. Murchad ua Brian, duke of Munster – he is a duke with a single county, two vassals, a De jure claim on a nerby county, male heir and, what’s most important, a historical bloodline.That gives you early advantage since you can easly gain more lands and be the most powerful person in the land. Most rulers are count-tier which means they have up to 3 counties which is low.

Chapter 1: Starting Upįor begginers, Ireland with a starting date of 1066 is a good choice for couple of reasons. That should be enough to get you starting. But if you are king and press a claim on duchy for your vassal duke, then duke will have two duchies and you still are his liege.

Winning De jure war always results in realm coming to your realm (but if you are the king it’s not always for you, I will describe it later).Ĭlaim is “legal” right for the land. If you have duchy title, but not all of it’s de jure lands belong in your realm, you can wage war against outside holders. Every duchy consists of counties, every kingdom is made of duchies and so on. You can wage war against someone who has lands you or one of your courtiers have claim on and few other reasons, but for the sake of this guide we will need just Claim and De jure.ĭe jure means “by law”.
