If the Rule “Vassalage” does not exist, this Proposal does nothing:
Amend to the end of the rule “Bribery”:

When a noble obtains a title above their station, they relinquish their all of their current titles. For all of the titles relinquished in this way, the noble may offer up the title in the proper manner described for obtaining Vassals described in the rule “Vassalage”. Any titles not filled become Abeyant. If, by not being able to fill a given position, a Noble loses a direct connection to a noble, they lose Lordship over them. (i.e. A Duke fails to fill one of the Baron spots below them. This Duke loses Lordship/High Lordship over all of the Earldoms connected to them via the Baron spot not filled.)
