D&D General If A Noble holds 1 title per country in 2 neighbouring countries what can he do if those countries go to war?, after all no matter what he lose's

[Zardnaar]

King Charles III is still Duke of Normandy, but fortunately there is no longer a French monarch to complicate matters.

His Dutchy has been reduced to a tiny part of Normandy - just the Channel Islands.

Channel Islands last remnant of Feudalism lasted to post WW2.

Yeah, but that was in Sark (population approximately 500). They do things differently over there ...

When I first read the title, I thought of the American Civil War and how Robert E Lee was asked to lead the Union Army, but declined and went home to Virginia and defend his family and has State. After the war, when he lost, his family farm was taken for Arlington Cemetery.

No he's not, the title "Duke of Normandy" no longer exists. The last person to hold the title was Prince Louis Charles, the son of Louis XVI.

While the British monarch may sometimes be addressed as the "Duke of Normandy", that's just a bit of fun.

It's as meaningful a title as "Elector of Hannover".

It's like the scene in The Outlaw Josey Wales where the ferryman talks about being able to sing both Northern and Southern war songs with equal fervor depending on who's within earshot...
Tell one side one thing, tell the other side the opposite, and make sure anybody who can prove you were playing both sides dies in the war...

Thumbs up just for the Josey Wales callback.

Have you ever played Crusader Kings?

If you make a really sub-optimal choice, THE Bard will write a play that features you (and possibly your drowning in Malmsey wine).

Better than what Edward II got in the end.

Youch! I hadn't read that one before.
