What a great time, our middle ages :)

Well, I also like the idea. It should be very hard to get this royal 
duke out of office, but there should be a slight chance to do that.

But this counter ... I don't know.

What about the Bankers. There is a nice button for them, with no 
function at the moment. So why don't give the Bankers the possibility, 
to bribe the city, so that it refuses it's current duke (If a mob of 
thousands of peasants are lynching the duke, even the best royal can't 
help himself).

You can even combine it, mabye with a serious wound or prison stay. You 
can also make it very expensive, or with a factor of luck.
