I'm trying to find what triggers the special events for Matilda, Robert, Yahya, and Vratislav, but I just can't locate them.
Being suspected of it is good enough
It would depend a lot on how credible and high up the accuser is compared to you on how serious people would take the charge on a cold case from many years back.It would be suspected of killing X, not definitely killed X.
And thus not immediately a crime, as there is no proof.

It was definitely the case before the enlightenment that the accused would have to prove their innocence rather than the prosecution having to prove guilt. Depending on how high up both the accused and accuser are, the accused could still get away with murder.Guilty till proven innocent.
ExactlyGuilty till proven innocent.

In the court of public opinion, it often is. But legally, it shouldn't.I feel it still often is...
What? UghMatilda can become a witch? Why man why
It’s not as if Paradox made up the idea she was a witch. Slander after she was dead claimed that she was.What? Ugh
I love the creativity that can come out of paradox sometimes. And Crusader Kings is probably the most sandboxy PDX title. But sometimes they get carried away.
Matilda of Tuscany, a witch… because of an event? Ugh
The woman was probably the most picture perfect Roman Catholic the Latin Church could want. And probably an ideal vassal of the Emperor.It’s not as if Paradox made up the idea she was a witch. Slander after she was dead claimed that she was.
I couldn’t find when the idea she was a witch started, but the Reformation challenged her reputation because of her role in strengthening the papacy.The woman was probably the most picture perfect Roman Catholic the Latin Church could want. And probably an ideal vassal of the Emperor.
She played a reconciliatory role between Pope Gregory VII and Emperor Henry IV (Kaiser Heinrich IV).
In an era when Catholics were kinda… umm… “Deus Vult” and “Stabby Stabby”… She very much was what the people want a “good catholic” to be.
How you go from that to “She’s a witch” idk
Ideal vassal? She's why the road to canossa happened!The woman was probably the most picture perfect Roman Catholic the Latin Church could want. And probably an ideal vassal of the Emperor.

I also want to add that I found on Wikipedia that Welf V reportedly feared witchcraft on his wedding night with her. The bias against powerful women and the murder of her first husband probably caused him to fear this.Ideal vassal? She's why the road to canossa happened!
