Yeah, it's interesting to go from a small Duke, build up your holding and try to vie for the throne, win it with an unsteady peace and spend the next few decades holding on. Then, just when you think your country has entered a golden age, your king character dies, passing the throne to his weakling son, and then you, as the son, get ousted from the throne and demoted down to Count. 

Back to square -1.
