Change the last paragraph of the rule entitled “Titles” to the following:

The Peerage wiki page denotes the available Titles and their hierarchy, and tracks the Nobles who hold those Titles. Titles which are not currently held by a Noble are Abeyant. If Title A has Lordship or High Lordship over Title B, Title A is said to be Above Title B and Title B is Below Title A.

Add a new rule entitled “Wealth”:

Each Noble has a numerical statistic called Wealth, defaulting to 10.

Add a subrule to that rule, entitled “Bribery”:

A Noble whose Family isn’t “-” may spend 4 Wealth to obtain an Abeyant Barony Below the Dukedom corresponding to their Family.

If an Earldom is Abeyant, a Baron who holds a Barony below that Earldom may obtain that Earldom by spending 8 Wealth and transferring 1 Wealth to each Vassal they gain through that Earldom (which may cause them to transfer to the same Noble multiple times).

If a Dukedom is Abeyant, an Earl who holds an Earldom below that Dukedom may obtain that Dukedom by spending 12 Wealth and transferring 2 Wealth to each Vassal they gain through that Dukedom (which may cause them to transfer to the same Noble multiple times).

Create the Dukedoms “Duke of York” and “Duke of Lancaster”.
