I'm trying to find what triggers the special events for Matilda, Robert, Yahya, and Vratislav, but I just can't locate them.

It would be suspected of killing X, not definitely killed X.
And thus not immediately a crime, as there is no proof.
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 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.

In the court of public opinion, it often is. But legally, it shouldn't.

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

It’s not as if Paradox made up the idea she was a witch. Slander after she was dead claimed that she was.
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

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.

Ideal vassal? She's why the road to canossa happened!

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.
