Ah yes the lesser medieval abomination of the Burgundian Inheritance, which is how we got things like the Spanish Netherlands and my favourite, not one but two Orders of the Golden Fleece. In the first corner we have the Spanish order and in the second corner we have the German(via Austria) order, which both write their letters patent in french.
One thing to remember is nations are friends only in name. If interest clash they can very quickly turn into enemies. Everyone should generally be maneuvering to better their respective positions.
The average feudal society is a terrible place for an "adventuring party" to try and find work in. If the average feudal lord or monarch saw a heavily armed group of mercenaries move into their territory, they would immediately assume one of their neighbors was declaring war on them and try to capture and interrogate the party. The time period and culture that would not blink twice at armed bands of strangers looking for work is Ancient Greece or Rome. Independent city states are much more likely to accept help from wandering murder hobos than any rigidly defined hierarchy where slaves and serfs make up half the population and are kept in line by heavily armed agents of the crown.
I mean, there were many Robber Barons and whatever not around. Mercenaries were more common than you might think. But yes, not exactly in the classic Fantasy adventurer way.
Lamaran Unity: Ruled by a Monarch at the top, and then layers of nobility below, down to the chieftains of countless tribes (though not all people are part of tribes). Except for the cases where someone is the vassal of their vassal's vassal but meh. Lampeku, the Unity's religion, claims that all Lamarans should be followers of Lampeku, and it was for this reason that its followers spread the religion by force... resulting in the most chaotic, baffling empire-half-empire-this-isn't-even-feudalism-it's-feudalism-squared state to "grace" the known world with its presence. Also has the home to over 100 million people but it's rare for a Monarch to command an army of more than 50,000.
I have a place called the sword kingdom in my setting. Each part of the kingdom is rolled over by dukes. The most powerful uses the total gand dukes. The different parts always fight each other for economic and political power. The country is more stable then it would be in our world because the powers of nobles are magical unforced. Thay can't over step the own powers and thy have to work together or all the titles and the magic that comes with them will be lost.
Hi, are you German? Your content is really really good. But your accent ist not easy to listen. I think you could get more success with your Chanel, when you use your language. You can change later to English again, when it fits. I think in your own language this video would sound really professional, and could get quit popular
@@worldbuildingsage Find der übertrieben deutsche Akzent passt super, auch weil theoretisches Klugscheißen sehr deutsch ist. Zusammen mit der affektierten Sprechweise wird das Pedantische ein bisschen selbstironisch abgemildert. Stichst so aufjedenfall gut heraus.

Thanks inheritance laws.

This is amazing! Im trying to flesh out a campaign setting's powerful empires and the in-depth example you provided is a Godsend!
Glad I could help
The process of client contracts and obligations is literally how parts of Africa operate right now, it's still around more or less.
Yep. You could stretch that the social contract between the people and the state is very similar to it as well.

Is it possible to secure benefits by taking and holding hostages? Can inheritance be hacked to acquire greater power?
One town
No real leaders
Just a society
And species taht are cool
And one boy with a lot of anthros, but surely he isnt in power?
We do be livin in one.
@@worldbuildingsage good, unfortunately, im playing papers please on youtube, papers, please.
An excellent first! Your sagacity is unmatched!
It's not my first, but I'm still just two months at it.
But thanks. I appreciate it.
3:40 Laugs in Battle of Legnano
That's the absolute power of the Lombards
Amazing video!

I'm doing this partially to get a better English pronunciation which is why it would be counter productive to speak in German.

@@worldbuildingsage Your pronunciation of English was so breathy, I couldn't tell if you were German or French.
I think it adds to the video.
@@Ixam13 ich liebe Google Translate...
I like this content but I can’t hang with the thick accent. Have you considered getting someone just to read it for you? Many channels do this.
I'd probably do it if I had the money, but alas.
@@worldbuildingsage that isn’t necessary, you can add subtitles when you have the time
