Court of the count of Zeeland 1066 1.04a

[unmerged(7438)]

I noticed that the starting court for the count of Zeeland consists of 4 children. the first two Dirk van Holland (the current count) and Birtha van Holland belong there. however the second two Robert de Flandre and Adela de Flandre almost certainly don't belong there. they are Dirk's half-siblings and should be in the court of their father the count of Gent.

Trying to recollect correctly I think Robert de Flandre was married to the mother of the count of Holland at scenario start and was at the time the regent of the count of Holland. (correct me if I am wrong this is just a quick reply from the top of my head)

well there are two Robert de Flandres. one is 35 and married to Gertrud Billung (who is the mother of Dirk van Holland count of Zeeland). this Robert is the count of Gent in 1066 and his wife is in Gent with him. the other Robert (age 2) is his son and heir but the son lives in Zeeland. this seems like an unlikely arrangement.

If this is the case at scenario start, I think I would have to agree.
