Son of a Pope.

Yes that is Egypt.

He's not a bastard? So, the Pope was married? How!?

The Pope was married, the Empress died, he returned to Germany, his brother made him an anti-Pope, pressed his claim, and now we have this.

Look at that, it's a portrait of a child. I wonder if it's a teenager trying to gain my favor...

Whoa! 0 years old? That is one astute newborn! This screenshot was taken on 3 November 1449 so that would make little Aldrich 3 months 11 days old. I'd say that he will make a fine administrator one day. I admit, these aren't all that strange but I certainly chuckled over the situation.

If she has a kid then she probably won't leave her court. Sometimes she will even stay without a kid.

There's a bit of lag with these type of requests. If she moved to your court for another reason after you sent the request, the request gets to her and the game gets confused. You can see other examples of a similar quirk in this thread, where imprisoned characters ask for better quarters only to be released (or die) before the liege gets the request. This prompts a "Didn't I release you?" message, but there's no similar patch for what you encountered. You ask her to come to your court, the game sees she's already there, and the game figures it out as a "Don't want to move". But since that only happened because she already did move, it's really just cosmetic.
 
"Emperor, we may righteously imprison Baron Frederic of Saint Omer, as he is plotting to kill an old woman in our court."

What the fvck? Somehow, I have an isolated vassal baron in the far north of France. This is the Laskarid Empire:

This is "Baron Frederic":

Social events must get awkward in these parts. Typical conversation:

Normal baron: "Frederic, you simply must attend the christening of my new castle or whatever. It's all anyone is talking about here in Flanders."

Frederic: "Uh...nay, for that weekend I will be out of town to visit the Roman Emperor in Constantinople."

Normal baron: "Fuck off, you lying piece of shit. "

I appreciate his baffling loyalty to a distant and unenforceably weird empire. As a result, I will not imprison him for plotting the downfall of my cleaning staff. Treking here from the other side of the world is punishment enough.

"Arabian Empire" is ruled by a Tengri Khazar which promptly broke apart even further. Caliph became someone in Spain.

We've seen someone turned Nomad from Feudal.
Now this time, its a little bit complicated, Feudal, Iqta and then Nomad. You know Zunbil family was somewhat famous for praising The Sun as their god :)
Well life in the middle of the Afghanistan's desert was sometimes too harsh. It leaves you no choice but to relocate :D

Well at least if he's bored with galoping horses across the steppes, he can always come home.
If you see from his claim, he's got a weak claim on the k_of Afghanistan.

Not a screenshot but a fun story - one of my sons, Knut Sigurdson (sp), while playing as Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, was part of a plot against me at a young age. I had him imprisoned and a few years after that, we held a Great Blot. Well, it comes to the point where they drag him out of prison to put the noose around his neck, and with tears in his eyes, he begged me not to do it - and I caved. I released him. Shortly after that he came to me to go become one of the Varangian Guards. I accept his proposal and promptly forget about him.

Few years later, he returns a Scarred Veteran with a ridiculous Martial rating and becomes one of my great Marshalls and goes on to have a great reign himself.

I thought that was a really neat of story.

Knut? The Knut from the greatest AAR ever? Only great things can come from that character.
