The Outremer has become more like a house over time. Certainly, a special temporary status was necessary as the Kingdom was initially built up, but currently it acts just like a House, and is only not so in name. Perhaps these sorts of disputes would be best resolved if the Charter was ammended at the next session to make the House status for the Outremer official, the Counts removed from their Duchies, and the King given equal rank to the Dukes.
