Jerusalem stuff

[Riddermark]

hmm i'm sorry if this was discussed before i couldn't find a similar topic:

The French nobleman Godfrey of Bouillon, one of the leaders of the Crusade, was chosen to govern the kingdom as baron and defender of the Holy Sepulchre. The succession thereafter was not elective but hereditary.

according to other sources the dude refused the title KING OF JERUSALEM and took the Defender of the Holy Sepulchre

what do you think about this ? will it be more accurate to change the title of the kingodm of jerusalem to Defender of the Holy Sepulchre ?

I'd say this is modding material

Well, seeing how:
1. It is impossible to do this without changing the game code (you can't edit the files yourself; Johan & Co have to do it manually and add a special script for just that), and
2. This title was in use for 1 year in history

I think the chances of this being introduced are rather slim.

That, and by the time of scenario 2 and 3...nobody used that title after Godfrey.

So, no, it's pretty accurate to have it King of Jerusalem.

No, it wouldn't be more accurate. There were Kings of Jerusalem, at one point two of them in fact.

If you want to make a mod, break the Kingdom of Jerusalem up into smaller Kingdoms. Jerusalem itself should be fairly small, given that it was historically given after very little land was conquered. The rest of the land can be divided among 2 or 3 other kingdoms.

Simply roleplay that your ruler takes that title when he conquers Jerusalem, but before you have enough provinces to claim the KoJ. That's what I did in my Hohenstaufen AAR.
