Don't we all love the random number generator?

AFAWAK, it's totally random and only depending on A) your scales, B) the actual scales and your dominions strength in those provinces.

There is some talk about the RNG getting "stuck" sometimes (the 1st two knight events been random, the 2nd two 'stuck', e.g.), but that is absolutly unconfirmed ... .

Unrest could cause knight events to be more common. So if you started over-taxing those provinces, in theory this was a bit more probable than it would've been without it. Spies might also have been the cause, but you would've got a message from that.

In short, it was just mad luck.

Anyway, as they (don't) say: its the imporbability that proves the probable
