I have fought a nice battle for Flanders against the French (me: English, high period, vanilla MTW, expert level) on Saturday night. Very early during the battle the king´s unit (with standard of a general) attacked my troops, but I flanked with feudal knights and feudal sergeants and the king died. I cheered for a second or two, as I had expected the note about the loss of general´s unit. But nothing happened, only the second unit of French royal knights (led by the prince) suddenly changed the banner to general´s with little crown on top of it!

Have you ever noticed such succession in royal line during the battle?
