Alright, there were some big developments since last time. Firstly, as my succession laws are gavelkind, and by having 2 boys I would eventually have to split my titles between the two. However, a "terrible accident" occured to my youngest son Ernst of Lybaek, fortunately leaving all his claims to my first son Juri. Everything seemed to be going in a great direction for me, until my kind son Juri died unexpectedly at the age of 23. I have no idea what happened there, but the natural causes don't often affect young man of that age. However, I don't think any scheme will ever be elucidade here.
Later in 16 of August 1102, Duke Sceadwian I passed away leaving the throne to his heir, Duke Sceadwian II, son of my beloved Count Juri and his wife Princess Adelheid of the Holy Roman Empire. At the time he was not able to take the throne due to his age.
The next thing that is going to happen is I will marry Sceadwian II to a 40 year old woman from the HRE, mostly because she has great stewardship skills, and will probably die while I'm still young enough. This way I could remarry later and start having children as an older man, we'll see how that compares to the strategy I took with Duke the first, which was to have lots of children while young.
