@Rococochoco eh… depends on how bloody (or bloodless) the contention for the throne was. In some circumstances, once the opponent was defeated, the remaining nobles still had a place in noble society, just reduced influence and possibly demotion. In other times, if (royal) blood was shed, or assassinations were attempted, all bets are off and the decorum is ripped away
Nah there’s a saying that monarchs have no kin and historically, that holds. Anyone would find it hard pressed to fully accept someone who actively campaigned against you and possibly tried to murder you. Even if they switched over, it’d show they have no loyalty.

Didn’t know the other faction gets executed or exiled if their prince loses their fight for the throne? is that correct? that seems a little extreme.
