In the Middle Ages, as now, the various manifestations of women's position reacted on one another but did not exactly coincide the true position of women was a blend of all the three. The position of women is one thing in theory, another in legal position, yet another in everyday life. The test is extraordinarily difficult to apply, more particularly to the Middle Ages, because of the difficulty of determining what in any age constitutes the position of women. The position of women is often considered as a test by which the civilization of a country or age may be judged. How women were perceived by society through the lens of the Church, how they were considered as legal and social entities by the law, and how they actually lived out their lives were never precisely the same, but the women named above took control of their situations to live as independent women, equal to men, in a patriarchal society. kill him), Rank 4 lets you sacrifice your children in exchange for a longer life.Many of these women significantly influenced their own time as well as later generations through their vision and ability to act on that vision. Rank 3 lets you "dark divorce" your husband (i.e. If you ever get a deadly sin trait, you can join the Satan worshipers (assuming you have Monks and Mystics).
So, you could go for the seduction focus and hope for the best. This is another "I don't remember if this quite how it works, but you could try it" things - if you have a bastard child that isn't acknowledged by the father, I'm pretty sure it stays in your dynasty. Having friends die causes depression, so you can try making friends of people you can make commanders to try to get them killed. You should have the option to kill yourself if your character ever gets depressed. This should keep your uncle as your heir even if you have a non-dynastic kid, although you end up losing some of your demense on death. You can piss off more vassals to get them to join that faction, and then "reluctantly" acquiesce when they demand your abdication. If your uncle has a claim on the throne, he may get made the leader of a faction to overthrow it. This will make you cruel, and I believe can make you a kinslayer if you are identified as the plot leader, but this is not the end of the world, and actually helps you out in a way. Babies tend to have low intrigue and lukewarm opinion in the court, so usually it's easy to find enough plotters, possibly with a little grease, to get the score high enough for the event to fire quickly. While parents are not allowed to plot to assassinate their kids, they are allowed to plot to kidnap them, which gives the option upon kidnapping to kill them.
Unfortunately I believe your kid will be in your husband's court since you are married regularly to him, but if I'm mistaken you can try to marry him to your uncle's kid (or another kid of your dynasty). I believe cousins are far enough apart to marry, so hopefully he'll have some kid of the opposite sex to yours. This seems like the most straightforward option.Ĭheck your uncle to see if he has any kids. I've never tried it, but you can probably kill yourself pretty quickly by closing the castle gates and letting your court starve.
How can I survive this? Bonus points if I can still inherit Aquitaine, but I'll take anything that leaves me playing as Valencia. The child will be a non-dynastic heir, and a game over for the descendants of The Cid. Now I'm playing as the daughter, and I'm pregnant. I tried to make more sons but my wife was too old. Naturally I tried to assassinate her fiance but it failed. Due to the marriage, she was a member of my wife's court and I couldn't restrict her marriage, meaning I couldn't break off her (nonmatrilineal) betrothal. Then my other son died, leaving my daughter as heir. After a bunch of political scheming and clever marriages, I made my wife queen of Aquitaine, making my son the heir to both Valencia and Aquitaine.
