Regarding her oath to the Holy Royal Court, Charlotte knew it was bound to provoke opposition from the lower nobility.
Family matters of a Seigneur were,in a sense, also tantamount to "state affairs," especially those concerning the Seigneur's lifetime marital status, as it related to the future heir.
A Lord's family without an heir would bring too much uncertainty and couldn't provide the vassals with sufficient security.
Especially for a prosperous Count Territory like Castel's, there were too many covetous eyes, and the extinction of the Lord's line almost certainly meant a struggle for succession rights.
And in Charlotte's case, the situation was even more complex.
Not only had she sworn to remain unmarried, but she had also promised to bequeath the estate to the Church upon her "death."
This drove the nobles even crazier...
