[[File:Realm tree screen 2.jpg|right|frame|The realm tree of the small Catholic Kingdom of Navarra in 1066.]]

[[File:Icon realm hierarchy.png|Feudal System|link=]] Under the Feudalism system depicted in {{icon|ck2}} '''Crusader Kings II,''' rulers grant parts of their personal property (their [[demesne]]) to '''vassals''' in exchange for a cut of their [[taxes]] and [[levies]]. A vassal's direct ruler is called their '''liege.''' In Crusader Kings II, every vassal can only have 1 liege.

The feudal system is a type of [[Wikipedia:decentralization|decentralization]] which makes ruling easier at the expense of personal power. Vassals can in turn distribute lands to vassals of their own, which is called [[Wikipedia:subinfeudation|subinfeudation]]. In return for their vassals' loyalty, the liege provides protection from external hostile forces.

In {{icon|ck2}} '''CKII''', a vassal meeting their duties [[Opinion#Effects on vassal duties|depends largely]] on their [[opinion]] towards their liege. The lower it is, the less taxes and levies a vassal will provide. If relations deteriorate enough, the vassal might [[plot]] against their liege or join a [[faction]] to work with others in order to undermine or depose their liege.

Note that when a vassal inherits a title from ''outside his liege's realm'' which is higher ranked than his current one(s), the higher ranked title becomes his new [[primary title]]; this means that he'll cease to be a vassal of his (now former) liege. This is not the case if the liege grants the vassal the higher ranked title or if the vassal obtains the title via conquest, unless the title is of the same rank as the liege's primary title.

! [[File:Baron Feudal.png|75px]]
! 男爵
! [[File:Barony.png]]
! [[地产]]
| A '''baron/baroness''' owns a [[holding]] (also called a '''Barony'''), the smallest land unit in the game. Holdings can be [[castles]], [[cities]], [[temples]], [[tribes]] or [[nomadic capital]]s.

Barons (other than [[Patrician]]s) are [[game over|not playable]], and their simulation is simplified to improve game performance. They cannot appoint [[council]]lors and cannot create [[factions]]. The Baron portrait is identified by a bronze ring, curled by a coloured ribbon. (Colour depends on [[Characters#Government type|government type]])
|-

! 伯爵
! [[File:County.png]]
! [[省份]]
| A '''count/countess''' governs a [[province]] (also called a '''County'''), which is the smallest land area visible on the map.
A count always owns the [[capital]] holding of a province (usually a [[castle]]). They are also the ''[[de jure]]'' ("rightful"), and usually the ''de facto'' ("in fact"), liege of other barons within the same province. A character must at least be a count before they can be [[Diplomatic actions#Grant landed title|granted]] higher-tier titles. The count portrait is identified by a silver ring, curled by a coloured ribbon.
|-
! [[File:Duke Feudal.png|75px]]
! 公爵
! [[File:Duchy.png]]
! [[公爵领]]
| A '''duke/duchess''' manages a '''[[Duchy]]'''. Dukes (and above) start generating passive [[technology]] points.
Vassals have to be at least dukes in order to benefit from the bonus to levies at their capital county (+15%). A duke who owns more than one duchy is called a ''grand duke,'' which grants a +1 bonus to their [[demesne limit]]. The duke portrait is identified by a jeweled silver ring, curled by a coloured ribbon.
|-
! [[File:King Feudal.png|75px]]
! 国王
! [[File:Kingdom.png]]

| A '''king/queen''' controls a '''[[Kingdom]]'''. Kings and emperors may define [[realm laws]] in their [[demesne]].
It is required to control a minimum of 2 duchies to create a [[de jure]] kingdom. The king portrait is identified by a golden ring, curled by a coloured ribbon.

| An '''emperor/empress''' rules over an '''[[Empire]]''' and may vassalize kings (usually through force).
Proper administration of a large empire tends to become a complex task due to the micromanagement required. The emperor portrait is identified by a jeweled golden ring, curled by a coloured ribbon.

[[File:Vassal_limit.png|Vassal Limit|link=]] Every ruler of the rank of [[Duchy|duke]] and above should recognise that they cannot have too many direct vassals (of at least the rank of [[County|count]]; [[Holdings|barons]] are not counted towards that limit). Having too many direct vassals will incur various penalties, and some vassals may become independent upon [[succession]].

The limit encourages rulers to consolidate their vassals if their [[realm]]s are large. [[Empire]]s that expand beyond their ''[[de jure]]'' territory are likely to require vassal [[Kingdom|kings]]. [[Tribalism|Tribal]] vassals don't count towards their non-tribal liege's vassal limit. However, AI vassals will [[Tribalism#Adopting feudalism|adopt feudalism]] quickly if they share their liege's [[religion]] and [[culture]]. Nomadic vassals do not count towards their liege's vassal limit.

The direct vassal limit is affected by:
* Base number (1) x ruler [[Vassals#Tiers|rank]] bonus (if the {{icon|con}} [[Conclave]] Expansion is active):
**Duke = base x 8.0; (10 without conclave)
**King = base x 15.0; (20 without conclave)
**Emperor = base x 20.0. (30 without conclave)
*{{green|+3}} bonus for being a ''great duke'' (dukes owning two or more duchy titles and not owning a kingdom-tier title)
* {{green|30%}} of ruler's and {{green|30%}} of spouse's [[File:Icon diplomacy.png|Diplomacy\link=]] [[diplomacy]] skill 
**Note that the values are multiplied '''''separately''''' and added together afterwards: For example, a ruler with 5 diplomacy who has a spouse with 6 diplomacy will get a vassal bonus of only 2 (30% of 5, rounded down, = 1; 30% 0f 6, rounded down, = 1; 1 + 1 = 2) '''''not''''' 3 (5 + 6 = 11, 30% of 11, rounded down, = 3), as one might think.
* Laws:
**{{green|+2}} for each [[Council laws|council law]] in favor of the council beyond the first one - called "Council Power" (requires the {{icon|con}} [[Conclave]] DLC); (max {{green|+14}})
**From {{green|+10}} to {{red|-10}} for each level of [[Centralization]] law, in exchange for {{green|+0}} to {{green|+4}} [[demesne limit]];
**{{green|+25}} for "Imperial Administration" law. However, as "Imperial Administration" automatically enacts ''duchy viceroyalties,'' the net vassal limit increase is {{green|+15}};
**{{red|-5}} for each level of [[Viceroyalty]] law (requires the {{icon|cm}} [[Charlemagne]] DLC).
* {{green|+10}} for having chinese imperial [[government]]
* {{red|-10}} for having [[tribal]] or [[nomadic]] government
* {{green|+20}} for having [[Princely elective]] succession

==税收==
{{main|Economy}}

[[File:Icon stewardship.png|Taxes|link=]] If non-nomadic vassals have a positive relation with their liege, they will pay taxes, but the amount of income they provide is mainly dependent on two factors:
# The income from [[holdings]] they own (which can be boosted by constructing [[buildings]])
# Their liege's tax laws which determine the percentage of income vassals have to pay. This law can be set differently for the nobility, clergy and burghers. 

If {{icon|con}} [[Conclave]] DLC is enabled, the ruler may ''shift'' the focus of vassal obligations (under [[Realm laws#Vassal obligations|realm laws]] tab), trading off levies for taxes, instead of opinion for more income. The resulting opinion penalties (or bonuses) for changing tax law is temporary.

Otherwise, if {{icon|con}} [[Conclave]] is disabled, the liege is allowed to set tax laws (under [[Demesne laws#Vassal obligations|demesne law]] tab) in exchange for permanent bad opinion - i.e., the higher you tax, the lower your vassals' opinion of you.  Therefore, a balance must be struck between the two.

Nomads do not pay taxes to their liege.

==征召兵==

{{main|Levies}}

[[File:Heavy cavalry.png|Levies|link=]] Non-nomadic and some tribal vassals have a legal obligation to provide a minimum number of troops to their liege based on the laws of the land and their own manpower.

If {{icon|con}} [[Conclave]] is enabled, both minimum and maximum numbers of levies provided by vassals are set by [[realm laws]]. So, the ruler may ''shift'' the focus of vassal obligations, trading off taxes for increased levies - set separately for nobles, clerics and burghers.

Nobles prefer paying more taxes to sending troops, meanwhile burghers would prefer to provide more soldiers. Unfortunately, the liege tends to desire the opposite. The resulting opinion penalties (or bonuses) for changing [[Realm laws#Vassal obligations|tax law]] is temporary.

If {{icon|con}} [[Conclave]] DLC is disabled, vassals may provide troops depending on:
# Minimum numbers are set by [[crown laws]]
# The liege's [[levy laws]] which establish maximum numbers of troops (under [[demesne laws]] tab)
# Their opinion towards their liege.

Whichever of [[crown law]]s minimum or [[levy laws]] maximum is higher, it will determine the number of levies provided. Because relations determine both levy size and a vassal's chance of rebellion, an unpopular liege is in a lot of danger. They risk a situation whereby part of their realm rebels, while the rest of it provides very few troops to counter the rebellion.

Nomadic vassals do not provide levies to their liege. Instead, they are called into wars as allies. Tribal vassals do not provide levies to tribal lieges under certain conditions; tribal rulers call their tribal vassals into wars as allies if they do not have Medium Tribal Organization (or above).

==叛乱==

{{main|Factions}}

[[File:Alert rebellion.png|Rebellion|link=]] Vassals will not always like their liege. As described above, this hurts the liege both economically and militarily, but there's one final aspect to the vassal-liege relationship: the vassal attempting to [[Factions#List of factions|overthrow]] their liege.

If a vassal is pushed too far, or they're simply too [[Traits#Other|ambitious]], they will rise in rebellion against the liege, and forcefully attempt to gain what they want.  To do this, vassals join [[factions]] which pursue goals ranging from independence to lowering [[crown authority]] to pushing a pretender's claim or instituting a new [[succession]] law.  As disaffected vassals join a faction, the power of the faction (measured in their army size vs liege's army size) increases.  When it gets powerful enough, the faction leader has a decision to send their liege an ultimatum, a letter with the faction's demands.  If the liege does not comply, war breaks out, and all faction members join the revolt against their liege. 

Because vassals can only rebel against their direct liege, rulers need not be worried about the opinions of vassals under their direct vassals.

The faction a vassal will seek to join depends on a number of factors. Characters of the same [[culture]] and [[religion]] holding ''[[de jure]]'' territory make the most loyal vassals.

==阶级制度==

[[File:Offer vassalization.png|Estates of the Realm|link=]] The [[wp:estates of the realm|estates of the realm]] depict the most important social classes of the Middle Ages - spanning from Christian Europe to the lands of India. During this timeframe, it was difficult for a person to move from a social class to another; this is also the case in {{icon|ck2}} '''Crusader Kings II.'''

In the game, they are depicted as the three estates: 
*The clergy (First Estate), made up of religious heads, clerics, monks, nuns, priest(esses) and initiates. 
*The nobility (Second Estate), composed of landowners, their families, heirs and relatives - known as a ''dynasty''
*The commoners (Third Estate), made up of bandits, farmers, servants, craftsmen and merchants.

In India, characters are divided into three castes (or [[Indian religions#Caste system|varnas]]) which correspond to the estates, as follows: ''Brahmins'' (the clergy), ''Kshatriyas'' (nobles) and ''Vaishyas'' (commoners). Castes are marked in-game by traits, and the {{icon|roi}} [[Rajas of India]] DLC is required in order to play as a Dharmic character.

As for playable characters in '''CKII''', up to the {{icon|jd}} [[Jade Dragon]] DLC, ''all noble rulers above baron rank (or equivalent)'' are playable. However, AI characters may hold all clergy and burgher titles above baronies. If a player eventually controls a baron ruler, or a cleric/burgher, it will result in instant [[game over]].

The only exception (requiring {{icon|tr}} [[The Republic]] DLC) is a specific type of ruler: ''burghers of duke rank or above with a coastal capital,'' who are ''grand mayors'' of [[merchant republic]]s with four other [[patrician]] families as their vassals. These five families are always contesting the title of grand mayor (or equivalent) of their merchant republic.

A character's gameplay is dependant on the [[religion]] they follow, their [[culture]], and their [[government]] type. Therefore, actual titles of landed characters may adopt different names, according to a combination of those factors. Nevertheless, two titles which match the same rank grant similar privileges no matter the name. E.g., a duke and an emir are both acknowledged as duchy titles.

The definition of alternative names is set in the following priority order:

#Religion group
#[[Religion]]
#[[Government]]
#Culture group
#[[Culture]].

If no specific factor type is found, then the default name (traced from the Christian Western Europe tradition) is used. Note that cultural and religious-based titles are based on the top liege's culture and religion, not the vassal's. 

===贵族===

{{main|Nobles}}

[[File:Job build legend.png|Nobles|link=]] '''Nobles''' normally rule over [[castle]]s. They are characters associated with land acquisition via conquest or shrewd court manipulation.
*In the [[Government|feudal]] system, rulers of count-tier or higher are members of the nobility; they share a [[dynasty]] of successive descendants
*In the Islamic world (requires the {{icon|soi}} [[Sword of Islam]] DLC), Iqta nobles are allowed to rule over [[castles]], as well as [[temples]] with no penalties
* [[Tribalism|Tribal]] nobles can only rule over [[tribe]]s and benefit from empty holding slots, apart from the capital. They are known for their [[Raiding|raiders]] and may adopt feudalism or found a [[merchant republic]]. The {{icon|tog}} [[Old Gods]] or {{icon|hf}}[[Holy Fury]] DLC is required to play as a [[Pagan]] tribal ruler
* [[Nomadism|Nomads]] are nobles who settle a single [[nomadic capital]] holding, and keep all other holdings empty to strengthen their hordes. As they manage their clans and ride freely over the Eurasian steppes, nomads are feared for their constant pillages, and they're allowed to move their capital more frequently (and carry along all buildings within it). The {{icon|hl}} [[Horse Lords]] DLC is required in order to play as a nomad ruler.
*In India, Dharmic nobles are composed of ''Kshatriyas''. The {{icon|roi}} [[Rajas of India]] DLC is required in order to play as a Hindu character.
*In the Tibetan plateau, Monastic Feudal nobles are allowed to rule over [[castles]], as well as [[temples]] with no penalties. Playing as a Bön non-nomad requires either the {{icon|tog}} Old Gods or {{icon|jd}} Jade Dragon DLC.

{{main|Clergy}}

[[File:Job improve rel relations.png|Clergy|link=]] '''Clerics''' are members of the clergy and usually rule over [[temple]] holdings. Those characters are often associated with [[Religious conversion|conversion]], dealing with the [[Religious head#Papacy|Pope]] (if Catholic) or [[Religious head#Patriarchs|Patriarchs]] (if Orthodox), [[Religious head#Reforming Pagan Religions|reforming religions]] (if Pagan), becoming one of the [[Religious head#Caliphates|Caliphs]], [[Religious head#Zoroastrianism|restoring]] priesthoods, fighting [[Religion#Heresies|heresies]], or managing the Hindu [[Indian religions#Caste system|caste system.]]

*Note that due to the melded status of church and state within the Muslim world, any Islamic character owning a [[Temple|mosque]] title while being of count rank or higher will simply be referred to as their [[Vassals#Nobles|noble]] counterpart. As such, while the titles ''mullah, ayatollah, grand ayatollah and grand mufti'' are defined in the files, they will not appear in the game. (accurate as of [[Monks and Mystics]] DLC). Also, note that since {{icon|soi}} [[Sword of Islam]] DLC, the ''caliph'' is no longer an emperor- or king-tier title, but a duke-tier title
* [[Pagan]] female clerics are allowed to rule over [[temple]] holdings, except for Aztecs, Tengri and Zunists. It is possible to [[Pagans#Reformation|reform]] a Pagan faith, as long as enough holy sites are controlled. The {{icon|tog}} [[Old Gods]] or {{icon|hf}} [[Holy Fury]] DLC must be active to play as a [[Pagan]] non-nomadic ruler.
* Characters who follow [[Judaism]] (requires {{icon|soa}} [[Sons of Abraham]] DLC) or [[Zoroastrianism]] (requires {{icon|tog}} [[The Old Gods]] DLC) are needed to control completely the [[Kingdoms#Titular kingdoms|Kingdom of Israel]] and the [[Empires|Persian Empire]], respectively, to restore their priesthoods and reinstate their [[religious head]]s
* In [[Nomadism|nomadic lands]], it is common for a liege's vassals to follow different religions. Therefore, they cannot demand [[religious conversion]] or freely-revoke land from infidels. Nomads can also [[Religious head#Reforming Pagan Religions|reform]] their religion, if they are [[Pagans]]. The {{icon|hl}} [[Horse Lords]] DLC is required in order to play as nomads.
*In India, Dharmic clerics are composed of ''Brahmins.'' The {{icon|roi}} [[Rajas of India]] DLC is required in order to play as a Hindu character.
*In the Tibetan plateau, characters tend to follow [[Buddhism]], [[Bön]] or [[Eastern religions#Taoism|Taoism]]. Playing as a Buddhist non-nomad character requires the {{icon|roi}} Rajas of India DLC; Bön characters require either the {{icon|tog}} [[The Old Gods]] or {{icon|jd}} [[Jade Dragon]] DLC; Taoists require either {{icon|roi}} [[Rajas of India]] or {{icon|jd}} [[Jade Dragon]] DLC.

===市民===

[[File:Job squeeze peasant.png|Burghers|link=]] '''Burghers''' represent the common people and normally rule over [[city]] holdings. Burghers are responsible for a large part of the world's economy, as they control the largest source of money in the game - cities. They push no claims, unlike [[Vassals#Nobles|nobles]], and are relatively isolationist.
*They usually don't have much of an effect upon politics at large, except for duke-tier (or higher) burghers owning a coastal capital, because they become ''[[patrician]]s'' - the rulers of [[merchant republic]]s. There are always five patrician families campaigning for election victory in order to become the republican liege. {{icon|tr}} [[The Republic]] DLC is required in order to play as a [[patrician]].
* Patricians are allowed to rule over [[cities]] and [[castles]]
* Muslim patricians (requires {{icon|soi}} [[Sword of Islam]] Expansion) cannot control [[temple]] holdings freely, but are unaffected by [[decadence]], and are allowed to [[Polygamy|marry several wives]]
* [[Nomadism#Changing government type|Nomad]] (requires the {{icon|hl}} [[Horse Lords]] DLC) or [[Tribalism#Changing government type|tribal]] rulers may choose to found a [[merchant republic]], as long as they follow an organized (or reformed) [[religion]], and then settle down
* In Dharmic societies, Hindu burghers are composed of ''Vaishyas.'' The {{icon|roi}} [[Rajas of India]] DLC is required in order to play as a Hindu character.

==其他政体的非男爵级封臣==

It is possible to turn [[County|counties]] into tribes, republics or theocracies, [[government type]]s that usually only rule barony-tier titles. The local ruler will have a -20 "Wrong government type" opinion penalty towards the player character in many cases, but there can be benefits.

There are several ways to get non-feudal count+ vassals:
* If the player character holds a [[county]] and have a vassal mayor or cleric there, they can grant the county to the burgher / cleric, causing the mayor's [[city]] (or cleric's [[temple]]) to become the new county seat and elevating them to ''lord mayor'' or ''prince-bishop''
* If the player character holds a [[county]], as well as a [[city]] there, the player can right-click the city to set it as the new county seat. If the province title is granted to a courtier, they will create a [[republic]] government. The demoted [[castle]] can be given to the lord mayor (so they pay more taxes) or to another character (so the lord mayor has fewer troops to use against their liege)
* By pressing a mayor's or bishop's [[claim]].

===部落制封臣===

[[File:Tribal government.png|Tribes|link=]] The most common objective of having [[tribalism|tribal]] vassals is to have them convert [[tribes]] to [[castle]]s quickly and cheaply. When using this strategy, it is important to select courtiers who share your [[culture]] and [[religion]], as others will have elevated opinion penalties<!-- doubled religious penalties; 'wrong government type' triggered by wrong culture --> and will not be inclined to [[Decisions#Adopt_Feudalism|adopt feudalism]].

Tribal vassals have little income of their own, so the process will be fastest if you fund the construction of Hillforts in their capital. Giving multiple tribal counties to one tribal vassal makes the process cheaper, as only their capital will need Hillforts (and the technology to build them). When giving a character a duchy or enough counties to create a duchy, grant the duchy's de jure capital first so they won't surprise you with a change of [[capital]].

Alternatively, vassal tribes can be used to skirt the vassal limit and keep a pool of competent commanders. When using this strategy, it may be advantageous to select courtiers of a ''different'' religion, as they are less likely to adopt feudalism and are subject to free revocation.

===共和制封臣===

[[File:Merchant republic government.png|Republics|link=]] [[Republics]] tend to have more income ''and'' pay taxes at a higher rate, but provide fewer troops as levies.

Normal republics use Open Elective [[succession]], with all titles going to the man in court with the highest age + [[prestige]]. The player can remove candidates by granting land to them or add candidates through [[Marriage#Matrilineal marriage|matrilineal marriage]]. Burghers do not seek out marriages, but will accept marriage proposals as long as they are at least 25 years old.

Coastal republics which are at least duke-tier become [[merchant republic]]s and can build [[trade post]]s that improve the economy along the liege's entire coast. See ''[[Merchant republic#Creation of merchant republics|Creating vassal republics]]'' for strategies.

===神权制封臣===

[[File:Theocracy government.png|Theocracies|link=]] Like republics, a [[theocracy]] provides more taxes than troops, and generally uses Open Elective [[succession]].

A ruler of a [[Council#Powerful_vassals|powerful vassal]] theocracy can serve as the Lord Spiritual, potentially relieving some of the pressure to put incompetent feudal vassals in important [[council]] positions.

[[Christianity|Catholics]] can use Free [[Investiture]] to ensure both loyalty and competence. Catholics can also use their major vassal theocracies to control the election of [[Pope]]s, "secular power" being a major factor in [[College of Cardinals|selection of cardinals]]. However, Catholics should keep in mind that bishops may pay taxes to the Pope and stop providing troops if they like the [[Pope]] more than their liege. Catholic kings and emperors might want to "invest" in a vassal theocracy for their (and their descendants') {{icon|hf}}[[coronation]], as the Pope's demands in return for coronation can be exorbitant.

===雇佣兵和骑士团封臣===

[[File:Call to arms.png|Mercenaries|link=]] The player may have an opportunity to [[Holy orders#Vassalizing mercenaries and holy orders|vassalize a mercenary company or holy order]]. With vassalization, their company becomes available at 1/5 the normal cost and also prevents anyone else from hiring them. They are considered feudal for the purpose of comparing [[government type]]s, and will not resent having a normal feudal liege.

With {{icon|soa}} [[Sons of Abraham]] DLC and "Imperial Administration" law (or Iqta government), having a vassal holy order has an additional benefit: Free [[castle]]s. A holy order grandmaster owning less than 10 realm size may spend 300 [[wealth]] to build a [[castle]] in any [[county]] belonging to a ruler of their [[religion]]. It is possible to use "Imperial Administration" law to retract these [[castle]]s, allowing them to build new ones. However, to ''keep'' holy orders as vassals, the liege should ensure that grandmasters have at least -20 opinion of them.
