Land Inheritance without a valid will: Upon the death of a noble who has no valid will (either none posted on his SoT’s or one that has become invalid due to death of relating avatars), his lands pass to the highest ranked Count or Baron within his Feudal Chain.

I think the land should go to the duchy/duke if a noble dies. If it is the duke that dies then the land should go to his successor imo.

Hmmm…I haven’t considered Baron’s death in this matter. I hope I don’t have to add more regarding that, do you think I do? The opposite would work of course for a Count or Baron’s death and their lands would move UP the Feudal chain automatically.

However, we’re in danger of making a complex thing even more complex as we “could” allow Counts and Barons to have wills…they could therefore specify Vassals to inherit…it could be endless but I suppose there would be no grey areas about who gets what.

Remember that the clause you highlight is only IF no will exists and therefore there is no named Successor as well.

EDIT - how does this revision sound?

My sympathies on your situation Tristan.

I'm personally glad things have slowed a bit, I really need to catch up on stuff for the game but life has been absurdly busy and I'm still putting that personal nastiness from a month ago behind my family. Prince Louis does have a vested interest in the way things are going (FOr one I'm going to write a will!) but it may be a bit before he can comment officially.

Considering that I may just write my will and leave everything to the King…that way I don’t get any daggers in the back!

…either that or leave everything to “an random” noble…
