Oh, and we've also changed something that has to do with murders. One has to do with titles and the other has to do with stories. Today we'll discuss two new game features that we are really excited about. I'm Tobias Bodlund, Scripter on the CK2 team. The sooner you start working on the untimely death of your heir, the better.Hello everyone and welcome to the second dev diary for Crusader Kings II: Charlemagne! None of these options are sure-fire, of course.
If he hasn't fathered any children, your titles should go to one of his non-imbecile siblings. Similarly, you can actually commit suicide, provided he has the depressed trait. If he dies as a ruler, his eldest brother will probably inherit, so long as your succession laws allow it and he hasn't fathered any child of his own. You can also do the second option if he actually does inherit. This is definitely the easiest and most efficient way to disinherit someone. This exploit has since been removed, but if your save game is very old, there might be hope still.
In old versions of the game (v1.x), you could disinherit anyone by appointing them bishops. It might also be messy if you rule more kingdoms. You might also consider changing your succession law to elective, however that might backfire if you don't have enough votes or the ability to make vassals point at your favourite candidate. This option will probably not work in gavelkind succession, since they prevent you from actively meddling with the succession too much this way. If everything goes well, this will start a succession war once you die. Give your preferred son a whole load of powerful duchies. If he gets imprisoned, you could either refuse to ransom him out (in my experience, prisoners often die in custody) or bail him out and send him on more suicide missions. Throw him against far superiour forces, and hope he gets himself killed. Make him lead an army of only a handful of men, preferably not a very skilled troupe. Having your son excommunicated first will eliminate some of the penalties. You will get severe penalties to the opinion of vassals and loseĪ bunch of piety, but you will be certain it will work. Imprison and execute your son, even if you have no moral right to do If your king is old, frail and likely to die soon, you could still. It's possible, but there are no guarantees for success. You could execute him, but I've found it to be an unpreferable choice due to the penalties (-10 Opinion from all vassals, -20 Piety). 
Even if you could imprison and even banish your son, he would still be your heir.
