The Emperor likes Zoroastrianism but at the same time dislikes Mazdan religions? How's that work? It balances itself out to the Emperor just going "Meh" when handed a Zoroastrian as a gift?

Been a while since I've posted one. Not really strange, as anyone who starts in 769 will see this, but it is funny.

You can't expect the Son of Heaven to keep track of all these barbarians with their backwards beliefs. And do you want to be the official to lecture him about the proper classification of said barbarian beliefs?

Actually, Arab Christians call him Yasu, Arab Muslims call him Isa. No one is arguing that religions dictate the names of things, obviously that's based on language. It's just that neither of those terms are the one and only Arabic name of Jesus.

Unlike in English, there actually is a dialect difference in Arabic (and several other Semitic languages) based on religion that betrays various levels of influence from other tongues. Christian Arabic tends to be more Aramaic and Greek influenced, while Samaritan Arabic has a lot more Hebrew influence. It's not even restricted to Semitic, as Zoroastrian Persian is markedly different historically from Muslim Persian, the latter having much more Arabic influence. In a land where so many religions converge at once across so long and so many cultures holding dominance, these things do happen.

A comparable situation in English would be, perhaps, the tendency of pious Christians to use names like "the Lord" while others might simply say "God". Another would be Muslims to use "Allah", an Arabic word, instead of the comparable English term. In the case of Arabic, it is a different reading of the same consonant root influenced by the Aramaic (IE: popular Christian language of the region historically) pronunciation "Yeshu", in essence reading it with the vowels of Aramaic, but reading the word itself (IE: the consonants) as Arabic.

Thus, Arab Christians call him Yasu. Muslim Arabs call him Isa.

Well, cool then I guess, you agree with me! Isa isn't his "Islamic/Islamist" name, it's his Muslim Arab/Arab Muslim name, which has been my whole point all along.

The Count of Apulia was heir to Lotharingia, the ERE vassalised him in a de jure war (k_sicily is de jure e_byzantium), then he inherited the kingdom. Note the Lotharingia CoA in southern Italy. At least, that's my guess.

When a vassal inherits the higher-tier title he switches to it - if that title was independent he becomes independent, if it was a vassal of another realm, he becomes the vassal of another realm.

Sounds more like faction shenanigans.
