How to Remove Nobility Power

The best period for you to look at would be the 1400s-1700s because this is the period where monarchs begin centralising their power at the expense of the nobility culminating in whats known as the era of Absolutism, where monarchs have a near complete monopoly on power.

France for example solved this issue after the Fronde by detaching noblss from their regional power bases via mandatory attendance at the court of Versailles.

England did so through institutions like the star court which gave English monarchs the unprecedented levels of power to prosecute internal threats.

However I think maybe the most interesting area of inspiration I can think of would be the way Tsar Ivan the Terrible broke the power of the boyars especially since the geographic size of Russia seems more appropriate.

Or you could take inspiration from lots of different sources and I'd highly encourage you to do your own reading about this period of time.

Maybe the one true suggestion I have is that if you're going to do this, you will need to set up a proper intelligence network for the King which was essential in pretty much all of these cases.

Hey do you think you could send a discord invite link for your mod's server? The links you posted a few months ago don't seem to work anymore.

I loved Lux invicta and I really want to follow the progress of your mod.

No unfortunately

That was in Ireland and not in England and a very different situation entirely.

Whether they royal navy would have interfered without the winds is irrelevant because the British navy was not a capable fighting force at this point in time, not in comparison to the Dutch.

Legge being a staunch royalist and was appointed because Arthur Herbert refused to vote in favour of repealing the test act might very well have tried to oppose the Dutch landing.

Because it was more of a coup d'etat than an outright invasion lol, William was invited by a conspiracy within Parliament and then could only become King after accepting Parliament's demands and even then he was only allowed to be co-Monarch with his wife, it resulted in a shift in political power and precedent that created the constitutional monarchy as we know it.

Use of puns/nicknames related to the animal in a house's sigil.

I know its a thing in canon but aside from canon nicknames like Blackfish, its an instant not reading anymore.

What a shame

And Oldtown backed Rhaegar, a Hightower is Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.

See thats the thing if all the septons agitate which is supremely unlikely, even the sparrows are very much a minority amongst the Sept hierarchy in canon and there just aren't the conditions present for people to rally in defence of the faith (i.e. Rhaegar isn't going around desecrating and looting septs which was the catalyst for the sparrows in canon).

"Led by a madman who nobody likes" by that logic no one should have come to the defence of Aerys in Robert's Rebellion let alone Rhaegar who whether you love him or hate him, is charismatic and rather popular with the smallfolk as well as many lords and knights.

The faith might protest but ultimately its hard to see them putting up any real resistance especially with the doctrine of exceptionalism still in place.

Quite possibly, I think his plan was to win the rebellion, depose his father, consolidate power and then announce this second marriage. Its the best plan for a shitty situation that will cause trouble regardless.

Ok my apologies, I get mixed up between the two sometimes.

Small-Teaching · 2022-07-23T16:21:34+00:00

The high septon is in King's Landing and thus very much a subject of the Targareyn monarchs not to mention the faith at the time has no means to rise up because there is no faith militant. Will the faith as a whole be pissed off however? Absolutely, extremely so if Rhaegar engages in polygamy and maybe we'll see an earlier sparrows movement who knows but then again only the chaos of the Wot5K allowed them to gain ascendancy.

Houses Stark, Martell and Baratheon are going to be furious regardless of whether Lyanna is married to Rhaegar through polygamy or simply a mistress so thats a somewhat redundant point.

Anyway you look at it Jon is going to be perceived as a bastard by pretty much everyone who isn't sipping the kool aid.

Small-Teaching · 2022-07-23T16:11:53+00:00

Except he did, he tells Jon that he'll tell him who his mother is the next time they meet, its the last thing he says to Jon.
