Since the vassal counts will pay the taxes they paid you (a percentage of their income) to their duke now and you get the percentage of HIS income) (in case of a very small kingdom you might prefer to keep the counts since a duchy gets you less troops and taxes then the same amount of counties gave you. It also reduces the number of vassals you have freeing up some of your vassal-limit. So if you had to keep 4-5 counts appeased before they are now the new dukes problem and you have just to deal with the duke. It reduces the number of vassals you need to deal with personally. Make it and give it to one of the counts. You have none of the lands all is in vassal hands: You have part of the lands, the rest is held by your vassals and its not the duchy your capital is in:ĭon't make it, the county-level vassals there will have a big opinion hit because they want to get the duchy titleģ. Make the duchy unless you already hold 2 already, since then you get a penalty for having too many duchies.Ģ.
Duchies you can make where you hold all the land yourself:
TL DR: you can safely keep one Duchy (ideally the one where your capital is), and possibly a second for extra prestige if you also own all the Counties within it (unless Feudal Elective).ġ.
If you're under Feudal Elective succession, where Duchies are elector titles at King rank or higher, your vassals will hate you for owning more than one, "too many held elector titles" (you don't actually get extra votes, but you remove a potential elector slot from the pool), -15 each.Īll opinion penalties are further augmented by the Ambitious trait, as it activates "ambition opinion", for an extra -25.
Negatives: if you hold more than two, vassals will hate you, "too many held duchies", -10 each.īut owning a second Duchy brings its own negatives, as if you hold more than one, vassals who hold de jure vassal Counties within your secondary Duchies, will have a penalty towards you, "desires the Duchy of x", -20. Aside from the prestige you get from creating them, the benefits of holding Duchies as a King or Emperor are quite limited, and holding more than one can actually be detrimental.įirst, the benefits: monthly prestige gain, a failsafe should you lose your Kingdom title/s (you might keep all vassals up to Count rank, depending on the situation), and de jure claims on not controlled territory.
