If these conditions are met, your
Royal Heir is automatically crowned
King.
Once you control a crowned King,
you have the power to call Parliament.
This may allow you to give additional
Assets to your Faction’s Nobles. This
power only resides in a King’s Faction
when there is but one King-if there is
a rival monarch, the Chancellor has
this power instead.
On the minus side, a sole crowned
King can be pulled to different parts of
the country to meet Embassies from
foreign lands. This can be very awk-
ward, since it can disrupt your plans
and divide a secure army into two
smaller, defeatable forces. (The fact
that Henry VI starts the game as the
sole crowned King can lead to a situa-
tion where he is called away from Lon-
don to an unfortified town, making him
easy to capture.)
