This is odd, I thought that under the current system you could be lord and have an estate?
I just got elected as Senator of Nark, which falls under the Duchy of the Margrave of Twainville (both Duke of City and Duchy). I had an estate in Twainville before I got elected.
Both the lordship and the estate would have me swear fealthy to the same man, however I got this message upon my appointment (election):
"Estate Vacated (3 hours, 13 minutes ago)
message to the lord and knights of Twainville
Asleon has vacated his estate due to his election as Lord of Nark. These 40 % of the region are now without a knight."
