Challege: Is it possible to get a german nation, ie HRE minus Italy, with a hereditary monarchy that is in place by 1100? Empire or Kingdom is fine, but the pope should not be able interfer like OTL.
Henry IV wins the Investure conflict against Gregory VII.
If he (Henry IV) decisively breaks the rebellions, he could use the oppurtunity to make the Empire hereditary.
Another (or combined) approach might be the French one: initially France was also an elective monarchy (it was how the Capetians ended up on the throne after the Carolingians). But the first French kings made their sons co-rulers, so they could succeed smoothly after the king bought it. This lead to a de-facto hereditary monarchy. Introducing this principle to Germany would not be that big of a conceptual leep.
ProbablyBut that's because the HRE is poorly represented in CK
In the game? There is electoral law in Germany at the start of the game. It can get changed but it is in place.and there is no elective monarchy in Germany.
Their noblemen might still rebel at some point, and everyone who doesn't like the power of the HREmperor would help them.
