i found a Easter egg the reason the titles all look differnt is my game shuffles the titles an this is how i found the the egg
Ive gotten that same assassination except I was the one plotting, in my game there were two archers, one in the depository and one on a grassy knoll...Lone bowman (kennedy reference) assasination from the perspective of victim.
And then.
I must play as this monster after he killed my awesome duke, what.
Now, I'm know why he is paranoid and stressed. These kids.
I see what you did there Paradox...

I'm not sure what am I supposed to be looking at.
Where's the easter egg?
Playing as Emperor of Francia, I somehow inherited the Knights Templar. Now I can raise the holy order as a free levy! Being an assasins creed fan, I laughed when the hashashins killed my emperor/grandmaster.
I suppose this is the best place for this, although it doesn't quite fit... It would take quite a few screenshots to tell this tale if I were to use screenshots, so I'm mostly going to relate this via text.
See that big yellow blob in Iberia? That's a Catholic Castille, and right now (1145) it's expanding under the remarkable rule of Queen Ermesinda the Cruel. This is all done by the AI, by the way.
The start to this successful Castille isn't too surprising- there's really only one way for an Iberia the player doesn't touch to not get overrun by Muslims -but I'll relate this tale to you, anyways.
September, 1066: War rages on the Iberian peninsula. Christian and Muslim lands are fractured alike, but the Muslims are more cooperative. Things don't look good for the Christians.
December, 1067: The King of Leon passes away in battle, leaving his kingdom to his brother, the King of Castille.
February, 1068: The King of Galicia succumbs to a terrible wound sustained in battle with the heathens, uniting his kingdom with Castille and Leon.
May, 1070: The King of Aragon dies in battle, leaving his kingdom to his sister, the wife of the King of Castille.
August, 1074: The King of Castille's son dies suspiciously at the age of three.
December, 1081: After "celebrating" the birth of Jesus Christ with his wife, the King of Castille dies in battle against a rebellious countess. His two year old son inherits.
September, 1082: The King of Castille gets a new sister, only six days off from the nine month anniversary of his father's death.
October, 1082: The now three year old King of Castille dies in a suspicious accident, leaving his three and a half week old sister in charge.
May, 1092: The Queen of Aragon gets sick and dies, leaving her kingdom to the now nine year old Queen of Castille.
Around 1100: Ermesinda marries some no-name Breton who's nearly 40 and goes by the name of Huiarnviu mab Ribald. I suppose no one else actually thought it was worth marrying her matrilineally, given her situation.
Early 1100s: The Fatimids Jihad for Galicia and succeed, weakening Castille to the point that it seems as though it may collapse under the pressure of the Muslims surrounding it.
1120s: A Crusade is called for Aragon, which, while off to a slow start, is ultimately successful with the capture of the enemy Emir. Queen Ermesinda the Cruel is granted the territory. During this time, her beloved (maybe) husband Huiarnviu dies of Consumption. Marries a Castillian by the name of Julian Alfonsez, also a no-name, who proceeds to die four years later in battle.
1130s/40s: Both the Fatimids and Almoravids implode, fracturing Western Islam and starting wars between the Muslims. At the same time, France makes its move into Iberia, establishing the presence of two Catholic powers rather than many weak kingdoms on the peninsula.
Now, unfortunately her heir is 43 and never married with terrible stats, although upon discovering this I married off one of my courtiers (the best I could find, not that that says much) to him, but Ermesinda is perhaps the most interesting AI character I have ever come across in CK2.

What if Fatimids merged with Sejluk?
That happened in my game, when I was a vassal of the Seljuks (I bailed right before, since I knew it was coming... they've been pushing a claim all game). Didn't last long, and every single Sunni ruler revolted. Caliphate lost most of the wars, promptly received a decadence invasion, and a century or so later I'd usurp the Persian Empire title back, splitting their realm into dozens of one and two county realms. Sadly, the Fatimids had retained a single county, Cairo, and went on to basically reform their death machine. Once they had a few counties, everyone just bent the knee and the jerks were back.
Mmm...hmmm.

I don't even know how they did that. We even had a Crusade (for Aquitaine) going against them!
And we were winning!
EDIT: Oh, also if you look closely you can see Kent has inherited Provence.

Also, dat Wales.
EDIT: You're probably Wales.
EDIT #2: Why the hell does Hungary own Denmark?
It happened in my last game also actually, there has been some inheritance, marriages, etc. no wars.
Seems to happen alot where Hungary or Denmark will inherit eachothers territory. Saw Denmark inherit all of Hungary in my Duke of Athens game. Was really odd. Hungary became independent afterward, I assume due to gavelkind.
I've seen Hungary inherit Croatia. On a late start game (around 1307), I've also seen it inhereit Naples, Trinararararcia, and parts of Africa, too.
I've seen a poland, Denmark, a big duchy of galich, and Croatia inheritance .... Not all at once but still pretty cool
Looking at Hungary-Denmark, you can see Aquitane in Copenhagen, but not in Aquitane.
Yeah... what happened was Denmark won a crrusade for Aquitaine, created the Kingdom, and promply lost the Denmark title to Hungary through inheritance. Lol.
