Note that this casus belli only allows one county to be contested at a time.įor example, the King of Denmark owns all of his de jure kingdom except for the Duchy of Skåne and its associated counties (Skåne, Halland, Blekinge and Bornholm), which are all held by the King of Sweden. If a ruler has a de jure title but does not own all of the counties which are de jure a part of that realm then he or she can war for them using the De Jure Claim casus belli. One of the main consequences of de jure realms is the notion of de jure claims. These are known as titular titles and have no land associated with them.Ĭrown laws apply to a kingdom's de jure territory, even if part of it is de facto in another kingdom. There are, however, several exceptions to this rule. By way of example, the Duchy of Normandy might in law (de jure) be part of the Kingdom of France, but after the Norman Conquest is in fact (de facto) a part of the Kingdom of England.Įach county is part of a de jure duchy, each duchy is part of a de jure kingdom, and each kingdom is part of a de jure empire. De jure is a term meaning 'in law', as opposed to de facto, meaning 'in fact'.
