if it was.. surely he could have just stepped down as lord of gaston and just appoint himself as lord of darfix.
He would have to leave his estate and step down as lord of gaston, then appoint himself lord of darfix. IF Darfix is part of his duchy.
if darfix is not in duchy of gaston, what duchy was it in?
Well, the behavior we saw in D'Hara is that the old code will automatically create a new duchy a turn or two after a city is TOed. If he had simply waited a turn, it would have been its own duchy, and he could have left his estate, stepped down as lord, stepped down as duke, appointed himself duke of the new duchy of darfix, appointed himself lord of darfix, and then given himself an estate in darfix.
OR, if the devs have fixed the auto-duchy creation, then it was in the same...duchy...so the problem is that the code doesn't let a ruler appoint himself...bah, I give up.
