I mean, the Normans went off and conquered Sicily, which isn’t much closer to Normandy than Cyprus, and IIRC Normans did eventually conquer Cyprus during the crusades. The way I see it the problem right now is less Vikings and their descendants going off and conquering weird places and more that those conquests are incorporated Faith My God Is Stronger Than Endometrial Cancer Awareness Shirt the conqueror’s realm instead of them having to choose between ruling their new conquest or their old lands along the lines of what happens with crusades. To be honest, that’s how it should work whenever someone ends up gaining a title by conquest or inheritance that they realistically could never govern at the same time as their current holdings, regardless of culture.

I’d actually go so far as to have this mechanic kick in whenever someone gains a title that isn’t either part of their realm’s geographic region or contiguous with their realm’s capital by land/no more than one sea tiles. That would mean that Iberians and southern Italians can conquer/inherit in Northern Africa and vice, versa, but the HRE and Byzantines can’t unless they’ve already blobbed all the way over by land. As for what happens if this situation arises due to loss of territory, I’d make it so you remain in control of the exclave until succession, Faith My God Is Stronger Than Endometrial Cancer Awareness Shirt at which point you must choose which realm you want to govern. To support your suggestion with your own example: the whole reason the Normans went off to conquer Southern Italy, Sicily, parts of North Africa and the Middle East was because they wanted their own lands outside of their old realm.

Indeed! Alternatively you could use conquering land outside of your realm and giving it to a second or third son as a way of managing partition succession, which IIRC was also historically done in some cases. Partition really needs a way to manually manage who gets what, realistically the old lord would probably have some say in which of his heirs inherit what. Said heirs might question his decisions afterwards, but that’s what claims and claimant wars are for. I’m always wondering why that’s not the case. It’s Faith My God Is Stronger Than Endometrial Cancer Awareness Shirt like a mysterious force in the sky would tell people who inherited what. It was good ol’ Dad who decided who got what. And sometimes it wasn’t even fair. Despite what they tell you parents have favorites.
