0010689: Additional inherited nobles get promoted when fortress elevates noble ranks
I've got a King, Diplomat and Baron early on in the game through inheritance (assuming the originals died and my migrants had relations with them and inherited the titles).

Eventually, my fort was made a barony, so I had two Barons. A year later, the barony becomes a duchy, but this also turned inherited Baron (that's a Baron of a different location) a Duke at the same time, but there is only a notification of my fort becoming a duchy.

Either the notification that their land has become a duchy as well is missing, or it is incorrectly promoting the second noble.
1) Load Save (uploading....)
2) Observe nobles screen with 2 barons (Tinmob which is my fort and Noblepaddle which is the inherited one)
3) Wait a while for the liaison to do its thing and elevate the fort to a duchy
4) Observe the nobles screen again and note there are now 2 dukes (and the Noblepaddle one lost its reference to its home site)
Noblepaddle is located 16 days to the northeast. I think it got wiped out early in the game.
No tags attached.
