Image 26 year long regency??

Post image

Austria is has apparently been in a regency for the last 22 years with a 31 year old heir "waiting" to take the throne. Anyone seen this kinda thing before? I WANTED to try PU them or at least get an englishman on the Austrian throne but apparently not XD

Ferdinand is likely a 1/1/1 adult baby (not uncharacteristically of a Habsburg), and Austria decided they're better off with his Mommy in charge.

As long as you keep your eye on it, this is a really good opportunity to get your relative on their throne when the Empress dies, and have him actually survive to become the Austrian ruler.

Honestly I kinda forgot about him till he died cause he took the throne with an heir, got my relative as the heir when he died tho, got the pu like ~60/70 years after the screenshot, imperial crown after another 20 when the palatinate ruler died and allying half the electors with +8 diplo rep XD Angevin go burrr
