Getting Religious Leaders When Converting?

[Faeelin]

Hi,

Playing as the Hautevilles in the 1066 start, I joined the Byzantine Empire and converted to Orthodoxy. However, I can't seem to get any Orthodox ministers to appoint, so I'm not sure how to handle this. I've tried invited a minister to my court, but that hasn't let me appoint someone.

Revoke a temple holding from another religion and use the "Create new Vassal" option.

If you're referring to the Lord Spiritual council position, they need to be priests with an actual temple holding.

I thought you could "invite holy man", and tell him to take holy vows. Then you can appoint him to your council.

Actually, I think that does work now, yes -- monks and nuns can also have the title.
