Yeah well that happened to me the first time 'round.

Richard died 3 years before the heir could mature, and reloading couldn't prevent it for some reason (I thought the patch would've solved the problem but it didn't).

I'll try to load up the game a few times and see what happens. Otherwise I'm cheatin' cuz it's the second time the game screws me.
