The next step it to usurp the duchy of Leinster and then bring the county of Ossory under our control with a de jure claim as well. We've stolen so many titles from him and then forced him to bend his knee to us. The war against the Count of Kildare is quick and decisive, and he is forced to swear fealty to us. With only one county to his name though, we should be able to seize his last few holdings and bring a quick end to the war before his allies can help. So here, I've clicked on the Count of Kildare and we can see that he still has his alliances with Brittany and Gwynedd. One thing I may not have mentioned before is that while we're in the diplomacy map mode, we can click on other realms to see what their diplomacy map mode looks like. This is from the marriage we arranged with the heir of Tyrone in the last update.
We have an ally in the north - the Countess of Tyrone. That claim will be a ducal claim on his county in the de jure duchy of Meath. So on this map mode, we can see that we have a claim on the Count of Kildare - the former Duke of Meath. Just as a reminder, the diplomacy map mode will show us our demesne, who we have claims on, who our allies are, and who we're at war with. On that title's screen there should be a 'Make Primary' button. To do so, go to your primary title screen and then click on the coat of arms for one of your other titles. If you have more than one title of the same rank as your highest rank title, you can pick which one will be your primary and thus displayed title. Our primary title is still Munster, so our realm will still be displayed as simply Munster on the map. We are now the Duke of both Munster and Meath. We just need to click on the coat of arms for his title to the Duchy of Meath and then click the Usurp button. The Duke of Meath is a fierce rival of ours after our conquests of Dublin and Leinster, and he has proven to be dangerous with his two neighboring allies, so we'll focus on him first. We've stopped our development for long enough to gather the required funds to usurp the title or Meath or Leinster. Bunratty castle, the capital in Thomond is the most developed of them all, but the others aren't far behind. Our holdings are growing more impressive as time goes on. In the past 13 years he has sired five children to continue his line, and he has a new-found sense of contentedness. By 1112, Brian has really turned things around for himself.
