    If a regent is killed, do his heirs take over the vassalage that their
    predecessor did? I mean, do they keep the same vassals?

    I think that the heirs gain control of the entire domain - which IMHO
    includes any vassals, or other alliances, unless the heir (or the
    vassal/ally) decides to break those off. This would be due to the egency
    abiding in the land, so anything that the regent commits to is recorded in
    the land (in the same way that the regent can collect RP for controlling the
    land's resources).

    One that one, and with a little logic, i would say yes. You see, when a
    king died, the next kin of blood (most of the time his child) got the
    mantle of regency. I assume in birthright, it is the same. BUT, some
    people, let's say a 34 years old duke, won't like a bit being gouverned
    by a mere 16 old boy (have you ever seen EXCALIBUR or read the the tale
    of the knights of the round table?). Here again, it is the DM that has
    the final word.

    By the way, other things could put a knife in a successor: his
    alignement, his age, what he has done, the ennemy of his father...
