"You broke my heart, Fredo" - aka Worthless Heirs

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Ha! Heirs?! I've gone even further. I've even put my own king on trial for heresy before. Actually, its a rather amusing message you get when confirming it. "My lord, it is not my place to speak on this, but are you sure you want to put YOURSELF on trial for heresy?" Anyways, yah, inquisitors can work plenty fine, just like putting any enemy's heirs on trial for heresy(which is rather fun, if you ask me).

Sometimes that can be a smart move, even if you want to keep your king. As far as I know, a king can get very positive traits for surviving successive heresy trials. I'm not sure about negative ones, if somebody could elaborate on that please?

Putting your king on trial for heresy can get him the atheist vice. -8 piety means inquisitors can burn him rather easily.

Beware: I sent my royal family on kamikaze missions, and despite I had royal blood generals, I got the "end of dinasty" defeat.

That's weird. If you have at least 2 royal generals, there should have been a civil war. Are you sure they were both of royal blood (as opposed to having died off and were replaced by a non-royal general of equal ability)?

There's also a chance a general (or I'm guessing King or Heir) can get a Virtue that makes him really hard to burn. 'Born Again' or 'Repentant' or some such thing. I cant remember the names of them right now but they are out there.

See above. Like I eluded to, I've never tried it with the Royal Family, but while training up Inquisitors, or trying to rid myself of pesky generals, I've seen these traits proc. It's been awhile since I've played the burn game, but I do remember that one of them was pretty much a death-knell to getting the 'victim' removed. I had to resort to knife-in-the-back tactics after that.

Simply proceed trialing them, after they've gotten the piety improving line maxed out (+6 piety and -6 dread) they'll get the atheist line.
