This is odd... I have a royal marriage with Sweden, who have a 67 year old ruler and no heir. Their only other ally is Nassau, and they have no other royal marriages. Yet it states that a Swedish noble will ascend to the throne on monarch death. So you can't get PU's through royal marriage as the Netherlands then? I have an orangist in power
 
Can someone explain to me when and why exactly the AI warns one?
I am the papal state and I own the Knights as a vassals, they only own Rhodes and zypres. I personally so not border the ottomans, yet they still are hostile towards me and have warned me.

Is there a way to easily remove it? Or do warnings only go away over time?
Any advises?

Warnings will go away with time. But warnings apply only to neighbours of the warner, not to your neighbours, so you can attack anybody not bordering the Ottos without issue. I don't know what happens if you attack a rival of the Ottos bordering them, like the Mamluks.

As for when and why the AI warns a player, I believe it is linked to AE, so in your example maybe you help your vassal Knights to seize Cyprus ?

I can't comment on the Dutch Republic mechanics because I haven't looked at them properly.

Even as a monarchy, though, you might get that result. What are your respective Prestige scores like?
 
I was married to Denmark.
Denmark had "von Oldenburg"-Dynasty and I had "von Hohenzollern"-Dynasty.
Now Denmarks King died without an heir.
Now Denmark has a King "von Hohenzollern" and an heir "von Hohenzollern".
Of course I still have a king and heir "von hohenzollern" too.

But the royal marriage is still there.
I am wondering - who is married to whom there now exactly?

There is an asymmetry based on who sent the RM proposal. YOU sent it, so it breaks when YOUR ruler dies. For all intents an purposes, it's as if your ruler got married with one of the household of the danish king.
Conversely, if THEY had sent it, then the RM would have been broken when THEIR ruler had died.

There might be a subtle hint at polygamy here, but let's not jump to conclusions.

afaik you can only contest successions as the dutch republic. This means you can only attack a nation in a succession war, and enforce a union over the nation that fell in union.

you can't spread dynasty, but you can marry heirless nations to contest that they get dynasty spread from someone else, which then leads to a succession war.

Note that if the target heirless nation is NOT in the right tier/timeframe for this, the biggest monarchy RM partner spreads dynasty to heirless nation, NOT you.

So, marrying someone as dutch republic won't always lead to possible succession wars.

If it can due to right timeframe/tier, then make sure your military rating is highest of all rivals/marriage partners and dynasty partners of both heirless nation and the nation that gets the heirless nation in union. If you are highest, you usally can contest the succession aggressively in war. If you are weak, someone else might get that honor.

Prestige has nothing to do with dynasty spreading. The biggest effective development (a province with 50 autonomy and 10 dev only counts for effective 5) marriage partner spreads dynasty on death of heirless nation.

Regarding Ming's mandate... in order for my dev to count against it, I must be connected by an overland route to a province of mine (non-vassal) that directly borders ming.

Does this 'route' have to be an unbroken chain (aside from bridges) of provinces controlled by me? Can it go 'me-vassal-me'?
