I am not exactly sure how it works, but Hero King's have got a separate file. If you have a prince born around the same time as the hero and with the same name, he will share characteristics with this hero. But I have never seen an English Richard that was worthy of the title Lionheart. Mind you, that may have been because they had the misfortune of facing me :devil: .

I have wondered about that too. Perhaps it is so people will develop them some?

Ciaran, well, that was my mistake. Get rid of the roman numeral and it will make sense lol.

Begin training royal knights at 114, so come 1115 you have an über immortal general.

It doesn't change the name though I thought? then if you get a hero King, the name stays Karolingian.
I meant I was trying to get a Hofenstaffen general called Frederick (I can't remember if it's actually a surname, I might of added it, I did add names to Ireland and Scotland in XL anyway.), become King through civil war.
I was a little unclear, sorry.:bow:

No, I misread your post. My mistake :bow: .

I recall that, after a civil war the name of the royal line stays the same, but I could be wrong. It has been a while since I played the game (though lack of time and troubles with my speakers; if anybody could help me out in the Tech Library I would be very grateful...)

I think if you start in High era, the surname of the HRE imperial family is Hohenstaufen. So the name might depend on the starting era.
