Just finished this challenge with all 3 gold challenges completed on the starting ruler. first i went seduction and just started inviting strong and quick women to my court and seducing them. then i murdered williams oldest son. the one who starts as a ruler. william managed to become king of england so i swore fealty to him. then he proceeded to make me his spymaster and then the other 6 dynasty members mysteriously died. i declared war for normandy immediately and started fabricating claims on maine and then on cornwall and devon. at around 4 lovers i switched from seduction to faith for church benefits. after all the murders were done and all my bastards were cranked out ( i ended up with about 20 kids spread across 7 women) i got an alliance with the HRE, the ERE, Hungary, Poland, Norway, and a few dukes in england. next i had to figure out a way to get anjou from france. border dispute was taking too long so i murdered the duke, leaving his 4 year old daughter as duchess. so i go to ask pope for a claim, dead even on yes or no. so i give him my book i wrote on murder and he gives me the claim. what happened next was a good old european beat down on France for the county of anjou. Konan was 60 years old when i finished (had to hurry as normandy and brittany were about to get split up by gavelkind as i never bothered to get rid of it)
