I've mentioned here that I started as Henry III on 1.1.1217 and John (his father) is still alive. Henry III didn't become king until his father died in October 1216.

However, I looked for him in the game files and noticed two other strange things. Firstly, his entry is not formatted properly and looks different to other characters; so for example the character above him looks like this:

Code:
332034 = {
	name="Gervase"
	dynasty=25058
	martial=5
	diplomacy=4
	intrigue=7
	stewardship=4
	religion="catholic"
	culture="english"
	add_trait="craven"
	add_trait="tough_soldier"
	1165.1.1 = {
		birth="1165.1.1"
	}
	1215.1.1 = {
		death="1215.1.1"
	}
}

Whereas John looks like this:

Code:
404514 = {
	name="John"
	# AKA: John Lackland
	dynasty=369
	religion="catholic"
	culture="english"
	add_trait="thrifty_clerk"
	add_trait="greedy"
	add_trait="paranoid"
	add_trait="lustful"
	add_trait="cynical"
	give_nickname=nick_the_lackland
	father=404500
	mother=405730
	1167.1.25 = {
		birth="1167.1.25"
	}
	1209.11.1={
		add_trait="excommunicated"
	}
	1213.5.1={
		remove_trait="excommunicated"
	}
	1216.1.20 = {
		death="1216.1.20"
	}
}

(It doesn't show it here, but in the file it looks different)

Also, his death date is recorded as January 20th, which is both incorrect and quite strange as he was definitely alive in my 1217 game.

What's that all about?

Anyway, I think his entry should be written like other characters (I can't find anyone else's written like that - it looks like someone was messing with word wrap) and his death date changed to 1216.10.19. I'm not sure what was causing him to be alive after the game files says he's dead...

His birth date is also wrong, but that's slightly less important.
