If you stalemate you'll lose 100 prestige, and if you lose you'll be imprisoned and lose 200 prestige. If you win you'll be independent and if the liege you're rebelling from is a king or emperor, crown authority will be lowered one step. If you stalemate or lose you'll lose 100/200 prestige.Īs long as you're someone's vassal, you can try to achieve independence through war. If you win the war, the law in question will be instituted. You cannot use these CBs more than one step up the chain, so if for example you're a vassal of the King of Bohemia you cannot try to lower crown authority in the Holy Roman Empire. The lower crown authority CB can be used on your liege if he's a king or emperor. The first four can be used on your liege as long as they don't have the succession type in question. In total there are five, changing to Gavelkind, Elective, Seniority, or Primogeniture, and lowering crown authority. There are several CBs based around changing realm laws, both crown and succession law. When pushing a vassal's claim and losing you'll have to pay concessions. If you win you'll gain the county as a vassal, or if you were pushing the de jure claim for someone else they'll gain the county as a vassal, have their opinion of you increased by 100, and you'll gain 100 prestige. Losing a war merely means a loss of 200 prestige, while you'll still keep the de jure CB. Unlike regular claims, de jure claims cannot be lost unless you lose control of the duchy. Even if the other realm holds more than one county you can only push a single de jure CB at once. If you or a vassal hold a duchy, where part of this duchy is owned by another independent realm, you can push a de jure claim upon one of the counties held by the other realm. If the claimant loses he or she loses the claim they pressed, some gold and some prestige, and the successful defender gains some gold and some prestige. If white peace occurs the claimant loses prestige and the defender gains prestige.

If the claimant wins he or she will gain the contested title, plus some prestige, and the loser will lose prestige. Kingdoms and empires do not provide de jure CBs.

Even if the other realm holds more than one county/holding you can only push a single de jure CB at once. If you or a vassal hold a duchy or county, where part of this duchy/county is owned by another independent realm, you can push a de jure claim upon one of the counties/holdings held by the other realm. Titles the claimant is second or third in line to inherit.Titles already contested in a Claim or Succession war.Strong claims can also be fabricated for a character by their chancellor. Weak claims are given to those lower down in the line. Strong claims are given to those second or third in the line of succession. Characters can use this claim as a CB to go to war to seize that title. Characters who do not hold a certain title, but have some sort of connection to it can hold a claim.
