Great story so far, why have you stopped expanding at the moment?, the Baltic is ripe for the blessings of Swedish rule.

Manstein16 said:Philippa sprinted into the Great Hall, her chambermaid close behind. The sight she encountered stopped her in her tracks and the maid had to swerve to miss her. King Jon, a beast of a man had lifted his son Folke clean off the ground and was pressing him up against the wall. The court steward, Johan, stood awestruck next to the hearth. Out of the corner of her eye Philippa saw Sverker come running through the double doors at the front of the Hall. "Sverk, do something!" she cried.
"Father! Let him go!" Sverker shouted, running towards his father and brother.
King Jon swung his head around at Sverker, looked back at Folke, and released his grip. Folke fell to the ground, gasping. Sverker ran up to the king.
"Father, what's gotten into you?! He's your son!"
King Jon backed away from the figure crumpled at his feet. "He's no son of mine," he said, spitting the words out.
Sverker looked confused. "What do you mean, not your son?"
King Jon nodded towards the steward. "Johan here caught your brother here in a compromising situation with one of his playmates."
"So you attacked him?! Father, he's fifteen. You remember what it's like. Boys will be boys."
"Not with other boys!" the king roared.
Philippa saw the color drain from Sverker's face. Folke, still laying on the floor, began sobbing. She moved slowly towards her husband.
"No...it can't be. Johan is surely jesting. He must be!" Sverker stuttered.
Johan stepped forward, head bowed. "I'm sorry, my lord, but I have never been more honest. We had finished a lesson and I returned to my chambers before realizing I had left a belonging in the room. I entered and saw Fol..."
"Enough!" Philippa cried. "We needn't hear more." Indeed, Philippa was sure that Folke would breath his last if his father lost control of his emotions again.
"Folke, is it true?" Sverker asked, still pale.
Folke stood up and backed away from his father. "I'm sorry, brother. I have let the Devil into my life. I've let you down."
Sverker bit his lip hard enough to draw blood as he looked at Folke. "Leave us!" he ordered. "I wish to speak with my father alone."
Philippa squeezed her husband's hand. "You too," he whispered gently. "I'll find you afterwards."
Motioning for Folke to come with her, Philippa withdrew to her chambers.
I've played through several campaigns and I must admit that this was my first encounter with this event. It certainly caught me off guard. I'm just glad it happened to the ill son, as both sons being rendered infertile would have been a severe blow to the kingdom.
What mod are you playing? I've never had this event.
It is a SMACK event
Code:
character_event = {
id = 20010
picture = "event_education"
trigger = {
condition = { type = ruler_child }
condition = { type = gender value = male }
condition = { type = age value = 12 }
condition = {
type = not
value = {
type = age
value = 20
}
}
condition = {
type = not
value = {
type = trait
value = lustful
}
}
}
mean_time_to_happen = {
months = 960
}
action_a = { # Nothing can be done
ai_chance = 20
#start AI modifier block
modifier = {
condition = { type = father_trait value = merciful }
factor = 2
}
modifier = {
condition = { type = father_trait value = forgiving }
factor = 2
}
modifier = {
condition = { type = father_trait value = zealous }
factor = 0.25
}
modifier = {
condition = { type = father_trait value = cruel }
factor = 0.5
}
#end AI modifier block
effect = { type = fertility value = -7 }
effect = { type = piety value = -100 }
effect = {

effect = { type = add_trait for = father value = merciful }
}
effect = {
type = random
chance = 5
effect = { type = add_trait for = father value = sceptical }
}
}
action_b = { # Disown him
ai_chance = 80
effect = { type = add_trait value = bastard }
effect = { type = fertility value = -7 }
effect = { type = piety value = -100 }
effect = { type = loyalty value = -0.3 }
effect = {

}
effect = {

effect = { type = courtier_defect value = none }
}
effect = {

effect = { type = add_trait for = father value = cruel }
}
effect = {

}
}
So, looks like a certain King of England is going to get whacked... ah, yes, the Middle Ages - the golden age of the hitman.
