For example, I just eliminated the Turks in a Byz campaign I just started. I didn't mean to kill their king; I meant to let him escape and kill almost everyone else and just let him rot in one little nothing province the rest of the game. But I got lucky and some Triez archers took him down. I have now moved on to the Egyptians and plan on moving all the way across N. Africa but would rather not have to deal with the Turks popping back up in my back yard
Does the loyalty rating in their old provinces have anything to do with it?

Thanks,

We should clarify....

If the pope is defeated and his lands are controlled by any real faction (not rebels) you can count on him reemerging. It WILL happen. Only question is what year. Its a special Pope rule

Other reemergences are random events.
