How to construct a manor?

[FarGalaxyBoy]

I started the game in the Byzantine empire, as low as I could so just with one county and creating my own ruler. The idea being to work my way up to emperor. My family dynasty consists of one person (me) and has no renown. So the first thing I noticed is that I have no manor, and I can’t find any decision or event that would create one, or list the requirements to create one. This seems to be an obvious priority to fulfill my ambitions, can anyone advise where is should be looking for this? How I can build a manor for my dynasty?

I’m a little confused because previously I’ve started with a preset character with a dynasty that already had a manor.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Well, you gotta become a notable family. Which means scheming your way into becoming a provincial governor (duchy level).

Agh, ok so if I become a provincial governor then there will be a decision to build a manor?
