My record was 92 years old king. Usually they die in 60ties or early seventies.

Welcome Pillowfighter!!! Old kings are troublesome, as when they finally do die, the heirs are fairly well along, and many times, if you're doing really well, you couldn't get your heir married off (the AI stops marriages after you cross a certain threshold towards victory, I think it's 30% of the available territory, but i'm not postive). That means if your king dies really late, your youngest prince could be in his late 50's (and the main heir might be in his mid 60s). They won't marry a local aristocrat for 2 or 3 years, so the odds of you getting a wife, getting a son, and having him mature before your youngest prince dies are pretty slim. This is the only way I've ever truly lost the game.
77 is really old, but not out of the realm of imagination. Your king dying of natural causes usually starts around 65, and the odds of it happening each term do increase each year, but they never reach 100%. Just 'lucky', I suppose. You might want to think about doing the old codger in yourself before your princes get too old to start a 3rd generation. If they've been married off, this isn't so much a concern, as the king's grandsons won't show up in the heir list until the king dies. Frequently, your married princes have 2 or 3 sons growing up in anonymity you get pleasantly surprised by upon the prince ascending the throne.

Hell, I lost 5 Kings in a row playing as the danes on Hard couple of days ago. I think it might have been some kind of glitch as for some reason the Compass event never happened on that game. Hasen't had that problem before or in the other campaign i started last night.![]()

Old kings can be the best, if they accumulate lots of Virtues and influence.
