Huh... so if you have the title of Duke and you get named Lord, you lose the title of Duke?
The only way for a duke to get named as a lord is if he assigns himself as a lord of a region in his own duchy. And no, he will not lose the duchy by naming himself as a a lord. That would be kind of silly.
Does this also apply to RTO and region buying? It would seem in these cases you don't have to swear fealty to anyone but yourself.
I don't know how those will work yet. Most likely if a priest does an RTO then the region will become part of whatever duchy to which he belongs. Same with buying the region. This could be a way for a regionless duke to recover his duchy. Provided the ruler doesn't dissolve it first.
