Stronghold Duchy

There's that "no placeholder" rule to consider here.

Placeholders are hard to define. And if it's simply to circumvent an oversight that the devs plan to fix anyways, I don't really see the problem. It's not really comparable to the cases the rule was meant for: a general dies/is captured, so his "brother" gets the position until he can be put back in place.

Our other Duke cannot appoint me Margrave because I would first need an estate in the stronghold.

This is not true. You do not need to have an estate in the region to be appointed lord of the region. The duke cannot appoint you as lord because you cannot appoint your liege as your vassal.

"Hey boss!" "Yeah?" "Your my underling now""What??? I am still the boss.""Well you are my boss, but I am your boss.""What??? A boss cycle it seems"

That's boss.
