Note: If there is no castle in the county you have to build one. Right-click on the city and click Create New Vassal: Image 7. The problem is now fixed but you need to clean up a little because you're still holding the city which used to be the capital: Image 6.

Once I have revoked the barony it automatically becomes the county capital: Image 5. To fix this I need to obtain the barony from my vassal (revoke with or without a claim, or marry into it): Image 4. A different Baron, which is my vassal, holds this title. The problem is of course that this isn't the county capital. You can see it has a city as county capital but it's held by a duke(noble) so it's the wrong type of holding.īut you can also see there is a castle in this county: Image 3. So here's a look at the county of Venezia: Image 2. If he gains a kingdom he becomes a King-Bishop of a Theocracy. Prince-Bishoprics/Churches: The ruler of a church is a bishop, the ruler of a county or duchy becomes a Prince-Bishop. If he gains a kingdom he becomes a Serene Doge of a Republic. If this ruler gains a duchy he becomes a Doge. Most counties in CK2 has this arrangement.Ĭities: The ruler of a city is a mayor, the ruler of a county becomes a Lord Mayor of a Grand City.

Holding a county with a barony as capital makes you a count. What I could do is grant the county to a vassal but it's actually possible to change the county capital to the correct type!įirst a little reminder of the different type of holdings and nobles:īaronies/Castles: This is for you and other feudal lords (aka nobles). We've all encountered this before, in my example I'm playing a duke which has conquered Venezia which is a republic: Image 1. I googled and experimented for a bit and I've finally figured it out so I thought I'd write a little "guide". I think this confuses a lot of people, and up to 15 minutes ago it always used to confuse me too.
