County lost on succession in violation of Crown Laws.

Specifically, one of my counts is the heir to the Stone of Scone. Upon his father's death, he inherits Scotland, but takes his African county with him, despite Africa's High Crown Authority.

Is this WAD, or should his county be escheating to the crown or be relegated to another heir?

The county in question is Tripolitania. The inheritance can be forced by killing 558958.

Thanks for reporting. Yes it's WAD. The king of Tripolitania gets an automatic claim on the county anyway, so it's not that easy to abuse the system.

Isn't High crown authority supposed to prevent inheritances going outside your kingdom? That's what the tooltip says. Last night I had a duchy leave my kingdom of Sicily via inheritance when i had High crown authority law.

I think the issue is that it's not the African territory that's being inherited, but rather his father's land and titles in Scotland. He already holds your county outright. He's probably not able to pass it on to his son though (he'll have to pick a relative with no land outside of your kingdom instead).

Thank you, Artfox. Glad to hear it's working as intended, even if it's a bit counterintuitive.

He's probably not able to pass it on to his son though (he'll have to pick a relative with no land outside of your kingdom instead).

Actually, he was able to pass it down without any problems whatsoever. Remember that as soon as he becomes King of Scotland, he's no longer my vassal, and Tripolitania became part of Scotland.

What are the conditions for an outsider to become a vassal upon inheriting something in my lands? Does someone who holds land and is a foreign vassal always grab my land for his liege despite high authority or does e.g. a count inheriting a duchy turn to me as the liege of his higher title?

A scenario I was able to reproduce, and which I think is probably fair, is where I engineered my son to inherit a Duchy in a high crown authority HRE. When he was Duke, he then inherited my Kingdom of Sicily, retaining his HRE duchy which now became part of the Kingdom of Sicily. If he became king of Sicily first, he got taken out of the inheritance line for the duchy.

Yeah, that looks fine. Let me give you two examples or three:

1. Duchy of Greater Poland, fresh after Poland's change to HA was voted into law. The Duchess regnant had a daughter who was the duchess consort of Trebisond, mother of another doux. I somehow managed to have that doux finally inherit my Greater Poland, don't know on what principle. Reloaded.
2. County of Lubusz, same scenario with confusing female line succession, a Hungarian count made id.
3. An Arpad courtier and nephew of my king was in line to inherit the independent Duchy of Bavaria (held with the Duchy of Bohemia and Duchy or Tyrol in a biggish blob by a duchess regnant who was the wife of the previous Polish king). I didn't want any surprises, so I made him a baron in my kingdom of Poland. However, he inherited a county in Hungary, duly bringing it under my liege authority but then he was Hungarian count and the de iure Hungary did not have High Authority, which resulted in his succession as independent Duke of Bohemia and staying independent. Somehow he didn't go over to Hungary or drop his Polish barony to inherit in Hungary or anything like that when inheriting the higher title in Hungary, but when he inherited an even higher title that was independent, he became independent. But after reloading I made him count of Sandomierz in Poland. After inheriting that county in Hungary, Sandomierz was still his primary title. But somebody else was chosen to inherit in Bohemia.
4. I think I had some de Bourbon counts come over to my vassalage when inheriting my vassal in Iberia. But this is very complicated.
