The Burgundian Inheritance [1][edit | edit source]
The Burgundian Inheritance happens through multiple effects[2] and events. The starting heir of Burgundy Charles I de Bourgogne has the flag is_charles_of_burg_flag. When a monarch with that flag ascends to the throne of 
Burgundy, the flag is removed and the country gets the hidden modifier “Burgundian Succession Crisis” with the following effects:
−95% heir chance.- −1 Monthly heir claim increase
- disables the introduce heir action
The modifier “Burgundian Succession Crisis” is one of the requirements for the event Marie of Burgundy. If the option to make Marie an heir is chosen, the heir flag mary_is_heir is set.
The next time that the ruler dies, the modifier “Burgundian Succession Crisis” gets removed as long as the country is still Burgundy. If all of the following conditions are fulfilled as well:
- is Burgundy
- is not emperor of the HRE
- one of the following must be true:
- is in a regency
- has less than
40 legitimacy - ruler or heir flag mary_is_heir is set
Then:
- If ruler or heir flag mary_is_heir is set:
- gain

It seems the line of [Root.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName] has grown rotten and withered with [Root.Monarch.GetName]’s final seed. [Root.Monarch.GetName] [Root.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName] has been incapable of producing an heir in all of his years as the last remaining male of the [Root.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName] line.
However, the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] did produce a talented and beautiful Princess by the name of Marie. [Root.Monarch.GetHerHisCap] father Philippe [Root.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName] famously despised Marie and insisted that no woman should sit the throne of Burgundy, but [Root.Monarch.GetName] is not his father and times are growing desperate. Should [Root.Monarch.GetName] die without producing an heir, Marie will become [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] de facto successor either way, but if [Root.Monarch.GetName] forsook the pursuit of a male heir and favored Marie as the rightful heir to Burgundy, her claim would be strengthened and we may be able to negotiate our way through this succession crisis with minimal strife.
Female heirs are seen as quite the prize for ambitious men, and Marie's succession may lead to Burgundy falling under a union with a foreign power.

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30. |
It is as we had always feared, the Duke of [Root.GetName] has passed from this life to the heavens without producing an eligible male heir. With the Duke’s untimely demise, [Root.Monarch.GetName] [Root.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName] has ascended as the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] of Burgundy. However, with [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] claim relatively weak in the eyes of many noble lords and ladies, Burgundy is seen as ripe for the taking by the ambitious [FRA.Monarch.GetTitle] of [FRA.GetName] and [Emperor.Monarch.GetTitle] of the Holy Roman Empire.
[Root.Monarch.GetName] is a brave and intelligent young woman but if Burgundy is to survive this crisis without falling into conflict with one of the major powers, then [Root.Monarch.GetName] must marry into a prestigious royal family to seek their support and protection. Of course, [Root.Monarch.GetName] will be wed in a traditional patrilineal marriage so Burgundy will essentially be subject to a foreign nation, but in this time of great chaos, what choice do we have?

With the death of the Duke of [BUR.GetName], the reforms that he passed which led to the close integration of the Lowlands with the rest of the [Root.GetAdjective] [Root.GovernmentName] have come back to haunt us. The [Emperor.Monarch.GetTitle] has sent an envoy, demanding that the Lowlands be separated from the [BUR.GovernmentName] of [BUR.GetName] and returned to their Princehood status within the Holy Roman Empire.
However, [Root.Monarch.GetName] is a cunning and wise [Root.Monarch.GetTitle], and has proposed to revoke the reforms of the previous ruler of [BUR.GetName] and introduce a Great Privilege. The Privilege would enforce that all cities in the Lowlands recognise [BUR.GetName] as their rightful [BUR.Monarch.GetTitle] but also remain loyal to the [Emperor.Monarch.GetTitle] of the Holy Roman Empire. Our scheme could of course backfire and the [Emperor.Monarch.GetTitle] could use this as a provocation for war, but there is also a chance that [Emperor.Monarch.GetTitle] [Emperor.Monarch.GetName] will be satisfied for now...

[Root.GetName] has narrowly avoided a disastrous succession crisis, with [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] finally emerging as our undisputed ruler. But the laws of succession remain unchanged and could leave us vulnerable to another crisis in the future. The [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] considers whether to institute legal reforms that would give men and women equal rights to the inheritance of titles, eliminating the desperate need for monarchs to have male heirs or risk the dissolution of their realms. Alternatively, we may consider the crisis to be averted and focus instead on strengthening the traditional order that has elevated [Root.GetName] to the precipice of greatness.

Our state originally owed its existence to the royal family of Burgundy who broke away from the French Kingdom in an attempt to press our rightful claim on the Throne of all Franks. We have thus far not opted to press our claim on the Kingdom of France and as such, our claim has long since grown cold. The notion of a truly independent Burgundy existing in perpetuity is laughable to many foreign nobles, and our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] has been advised by the royal council to seek entrance into the Holy Roman Empire and bend the knee to [Emperor.Monarch.GetTitle] [Emperor.Monarch.GetName] [Emperor.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName] as an Imperial Prince.

While it may seem like a straightforward decision, there are a number of dangers that a Burgundian Prince would represent to the Empire. It would become difficult for us to resist Burgundy’s continued advances into Imperial territory, and the Electors may begin to feel that the Burgundians would be a suitable candidate for Emperorship.

Hungary Wishes to Join the Empire [6][edit | edit source]
Membership in the Empire
|
|
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30. |
Since the Kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia have been united under the rule of [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName], there have been suggestions from some quarters that Hungary should join the Holy Roman Empire, taking over Bohemia's position as Elector. Indeed, there would be considerable benefits to this course of action, especially if, in time, we can secure the title of Emperor for ourselves.
However, we will need the current Emperor's agreement to become part of the Empire. Should we seek this?

Having united the Kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia under [hungary_country.Monarch.GetTitle] [hungary_country.Monarch.GetName], the Hungarians have petitioned [Emperor.Monarch.GetTitle] [Emperor.Monarch.GetName] in [Emperor.Monarch.GetHerHis] capacity as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire to be allowed to join the Empire. Furthermore, they insist that, since Bohemia is now but a part of their greater dominions, the Bohemian Electorate should officially be transferred to the [hungary_country.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName] Dynasty of Hungary.

The peasantry is rising up in revolt against their lawful masters, demanding an end to serfdom, and formal protections for their rights. This is no localized rebellion; the seeds of dissent are spread far across the Empire and often planted by dangerous heretics. All the Princes of Germany must look to their defences and prepare for a war against the very people they once ruled.

While the Kingdom of Italy is still formally part of the Holy Roman Empire it has in many ways turned into a 'Shadow Kingdom', with the Italian states acting independently of the Emperor. The failure of successive Emperors to restore Imperial authority in the region has also left large areas under the control of states that outright reject Imperial Authority.
