I'm currently playing as the slut Queen of England (seducing all of my vassals for free opinion increase and more children) Currently, I have the dilemma of trying to ensure that a female child will inherit so that I can continue doing this. I'm torn between just continuing to try to make my sons inelligible by making them take holy vows or somehow getting them killed or downloading a mod that lets me assassinate them.

If the female child is the eldest, you can sneakycheat by setting your culture to basque, changing the succession law to pure cognatic, and changing back to english.

Cathar and Messalian heresies also work to allow absolute cognatic, letting the proud dynasty of the slut queens of England rule supreme

Such is life STALKER. You wake up, go to sleep, get killed by Greeks, and the next time you awaken from slumber you are Bulgarian

How exactly would a catholic queen convert to Cathar? I've just started paying attention to the relgion aspect, but can't find instructions on the CK II wiki.

You have to either be asked by a vassal, or maybe have your capital in a Cathar controlled province and use a decision, though that might only work for cultures or completely separate religions based on how much I'm misremembering.

Decision also requires SoA, I think, but the event that fires for living in a heretical province has no such restriction due to being an old core event.  Cynicism and a low Moral Authority (MA) for the original faith are a huge benefit here, especially since the lowest the MTTH will go is around 50 months.  Befriending a Cathar heretic also lets them try to convert you.  Driving the MA low will help the outbreak of heresies.  To weaken Catholicism, do stuff like creating Antipopes (-30%), installing an Immoral character as Pope (-10%), lose a Crusade or three (-10% each) or prepared invasions (-5% each).  Defying the Pope, expelling Holy Orders, and letting temple holdings get looted by raiders will also weaken Catholicism. 

Also, since you asked about the wiki, ping.  A bit more detailed information there.  ^_^

You can also marry a Cathar. Spouses/concubines let you switch to almost any religion, if you can manage to find one of the religion/heresy you want.

Next game, I think I'm gonna play Vikings and turn them to a heresy, then convert the rest of the Norse.

Eh, I think I'll stick to making the males inelligible/dead. It's actually quite fun!

EDIT: Lol, That exact thing literally just happened. My chaplain came up and asked me to convert to Cathar. Unfortunately, I've already changed the law to agnatic-cognatic, so I'll need to convert my daughters and have one of them do it, but that's much easier.

EDIT 2: Damn! I just won a crusade for Jerusalem! I didn't known I'd get it if I won. 2 seconds later, a Muslim caliph announces his intention to take Jerusalem right back, so I ditched it on one of my vassals so I don't need to deal with it. The 7000 prestige and 2000 piety was nice, though.

And the Holy Roman Empire (my ally!) declared war on me, but I managed to fend it off with 5,000 soldiers, although my character died during the war, being replaced by her first daughter, who is also Cathar. I'm having trouble keeping control, but my reign of tyranny has kept 2 revolts and 1 rebellion in check. Soon, I'll change my focus to seduction and fix my vassal's opinions of me.

The reign of the Slut Queen of England (+ Wales) continues!

Since you're Cathar now, you should name all future females Catharine.  :P
