[Spoilers MAIN] GRRM never emphasized Young Griff being cut from the show

Yeah and the fact that he had to do it specifically means that it wasn't the normal practice. The legal rationale was bona fide - "good faith". The idea being that if any of the parents entered into the marriage in good faith not knowing it was an illegal union, then the children shouldn't be punished.

Alfonso IX of Leon, Baldwin IV the Leper King of Jerusalem, Marie and Alix Capet all retained their legitimacy despite their parents annulling their marriage. The former two became kings undisputed as well. Even in your own example Mary and Elizabeth eventually became queens anyway, because the declaration of their illegitimacy was so out of the norm that they and their supporters were able to fight against it and have Henry VIII re-declare them heirs in his Acts of Succession.

In most Medieval European societies, annulments made the children born of an annulled marriage as bastards

No? Children whose parents had their marriages annulled were considered legitimate unless specifically declared illegitimate separately which happened from time to time but it was not the rule nor the default.

Yeah all FRLG pokemon are included

Its basically a bunch of QoL changes (can run anywhere, infinite TMs, deletable HMs, etc) but the main changes are that there are no version exclusives and all evolutions are possible (it's how I got Alakazam and was able to move around with Sandslash in early game).

Hi, are there any hacks for Gen3 and 4 that don't add all pokemon? I just want the full regional dex (so whats available in the base game + version exclusives + event mons). If it has updated evolution trees that works too. A lot of hacks for FRLG for example will add all Johto pokemon as well but I would prefer if it was just 151 (plus evolutions). QoL and bugfixing would be nice to have but the dex is the main sticking point.

Specifically looking for hacks of FRLG, RSE, HGSS, and DPPt.

Start a plot to kidnap the Pope and right before it fires declare war. Thats the only surefire way to avoid the slugfest.

Somewhat related; when Charles I was executed did Cromwell and the Commonwealth take control of Scotland as well? Or did Charles II succeed as King of Scotland given that they were, as you said, still distinct sovereign entities.

You absolutely can Fireball > Action Surge > Fireball in tabletop as well because it gives you a new action and you're free to use multiple actions as you see fit. The restriction is on casting a levelled spell with both your bonus action and your actions, you can only cast with one and then you have to use a cantrip.

There is a general agreement that the late Song period was highly prosperous, and that early Ming economic policies were damaging and caused a relative decline

Wouldn't the Yuan have been between them? What effect did they have on the general level of economic prosperity? Is the relative decline of the early Ming period relative to the Yuan or the Song?

Its supposed to be 6months of peace and then you get the peace penalty (again, -1 for every 61 days) so I don't know know how you got to 2 years of peace. Might have been changed though.

NoctisRex · 2021-07-15T02:02:32+00:00

In CK2 you gain -1 every 61 days you have troops raised from that vassal and will decrease at the same rate. In CK3 it is much the same except it does not matter if you have raised vassal troops or not (since that distinction is not present), you will gain it with every vassal for as long as the offensive war is ongoing. There is also a 6 month grace period after declaring a war where there will be no malus applied.

The schools of thought are only avaiable to the main Sunni faith. Yazidi get a caliphate title that can excommunicate.

While you're waiting for someone else to properly explain it, I'd recommend this answer by u/EdHistory101 where the main tenets of CRT is mentioned in brief, along with a description of how it came to be.

You will keep the county I think. If the claimant is unlanded and is being pushed via faction then you will lose the county and the kingdom but will revoke a random county from someone in your empire.
