What about Markus the reformer? He soon found out it wasn't the smartest thing to try to reform the church.
I instituted Regal Supremacy to get more usury events, as these give money. Basically, here is a summary of what I did:
- Instituted Feudal Contract to keep the vassals united, plus get bonuses in loyalty.
- Instituted Regal Supremacy to get usury events and money.
- Created several titles, especially on the hungarian part of the Empire.
- Conquered all of Sweden again to the Empire.
- Acumulated 5000 prestige and about 600 piety by conquest and creating bishops in areas with low income, or when I got over the demesne limit due to ilness of my king.
- Appointed better courtiers to Spy Master and Chancellor.
Basically, you can do few things in only five years. All of what I done is based on my playstyle, and it may very well be different from other people in the forums. I tried to make a good story at least, but I'm disappointed because I've had so few time to play due to an unfortunate incident. I hope next time I have at least a few more years to play

And this is the first time I ever have an heretic king. Luckily that's not so bad as being excommunicated, but even so it was close, was the pope controlled by a human.
