History
Vratislaus II of the Přemyslid dynasty was duke of Bohemia and, from 15 June 1085, the first king of Bohemia. Emperor Henry IV gave him the crown for his own life. It did not yet pass to his heirs. He died on 14 January 1092.
In 1066 that crown is still ahead of him. He is a duke inside the empire, with brothers who can make the realm loud even when seniority succession limits a partition.

How to play
Goal. Take the crown of Bohemia, and learn how land drifts under the empire.
Seniority succession lowers the usual partition risk, and the emperor is a shield. Brothers can still open a fight inside the house.
Where this run fails. Ignoring a brother, spending the realm down before the kingdom decision, or starting a war that drags the emperor in on the wrong side.
