I have three barons residing in my fort.

The first is the rightful baron of Seizetomb.

But, recently, two immigrant dorfs simultaneously inherited baronial titles. So now the Baron of Seizetomb, the Baroness of Mirrorstandard. and the Baron of Helmstockade are all making demands and decreeing mandates.

Will the two expatriated nobles emigrate to their rightfully held fortresses? Or am I damned to endure a troika of pissy, goodfornothing snobs ruining everything?

I'm still on 40.24. Is this a temporary condition or am I going to have to start plotting my first ever noblicide?

Only three? I once got nine foreign barons at once.

But yeah, they'll always be mandating and demanding crap. And if you meet the requirements for a count/duke, they'll all upgrade. Best to arrange an Unfortunate Accident before things get out of hand.

I guess I'll see how long I can stick it out. This is not a kind of !fun! I've had before...

If you're up to it, arm them and lock them in a room with food, a well(no booze), one bed, and three chairs to one table, all of this being lowest quality available. Then, just mess with them until they snap. Last one alive gets to be true baron, regardless of sanity or lack thereof. Repeat the process if any more nobles migrate to your fort, forcing the reigning champ to defend his title.
Basically, I'm suggesting you repurpose your fort to host a dwarven game show/reality tv series.

This was caused by the much overlooked change from the original DF 2014 patch- world gen continues during play.  Originally, worldgen would freeze while you had an active game.  It might advance in snippets between fortresses, but no "events" would happen so long as you had a fort or adventurer going.  Now, while you are screaming at the military/equipment screen, picking plump helmets, and harassing local wildlife, wars are being fought outside your borders.  Since both inherited their titles at the same time, I'm confident a battle took place that killed off both of the older barons.  Their kids/however heirs are picked immigrated to your fort and BOOM! Baron bomb. 

I'd also recommend you kill them off.  You don't want three times the dukeage if you are going that route.  Keep your original and send the other two to reunite with their ancestors.

You could also avoid setting up the (in)justice system and just ignore all demands. The nobility will get annoyed, of course, but if they start making real trouble (not just produce hot air), you're justified in doing away with them.
