I have seen this in all my games that I so far have played. Usually when I get more than one duke or king title after my ruler dies the dead ruler is known as duke/king of one of the other duke/king titles that he owns rather than his main title he used during his life. This happens even when the capital is inside the de jure area of the main title when the ruler dies.

Here's the save file. I killed the ruler by sending assassins to other courts and waited them to kill him. When they killed him he was not known as the Duke of Benevento but as one of the other duke titles he owned.

I also have a theory. I think it happens when you get more than two same tier titles as I don't think I have seen it happen when my character had only two same tier titles.

I've seen this problem in all versions, it seems like the dead kings (in my case) gets the title of the largest kingdom they control, like IE. if you have Denmark and England, then all your former kings from that time on will be King of England, even if Denmark was/is your primary.

The problem is only present if you picked the smaller kingdom as your primary (atleast for me)
But now I see the same goes for duchies.

Well this might be it as Benevento is two province duchy and the one it usually choses is atleast three and I didn't have bigger duchies.
 
I think it does chose the bigger one. It happened twice to me, Norway switched to England and Rostov switched to Novgorod.

It also switches the primary title for the new ruler.
 
Yeah forgot to mention that but that doesn't always happen. I think it only happens when your capital is inside the other de jure realm and not in the primary one.

The last time it happened the capital was in a province belonging to an untreated title, the time before I don't recall, but you may be right.
