I play as the King of Ireland, and I plan to expand a little in the Kingdom they call England. Problem is, they have high crown authority, meaning any landed titles can not be inherited outside their realm. If I gain a dukal title, this will not be inherited to my heir upon my death. So how do I go about this?
I have a few ideas:
- Play like a baws and challenge the crown directly. This will be hard, because I need to
control at least half the country, and it might be hard to conjure up
that many CBs before I die. Even then, can I lower the crown authority when it's
not my main title? - Give away all my English lands to a dynasty member (preferably my
heir) before I die. In theory, this would give me more time to build
up an English powerbase. - Ignore England for now, and focus on Scotland and Wales. When those
are secured, I could possibly start pushing for an Emperor title. - Have the English king excommunicated, which may give me a free CB (right?) –
however, this is highly unlikely in my situation.
My second problem is, even if I did manage to become King of England and change their crown authority, my sources inform me their succession law is actually seniority – so that would need to be changed as well, and as far as I know, you can't change two crown laws in one reign.
Seriously, those bastards make it hard for me to invade their lands. It's almost as if they don't want me there.

I believe it doesn't work that way. The title can't pass outside the realm though inheritance. But after you gain the duchy, the title will be outside of the realm, so it can stay there, even if you die.
