Marriages rarely accepted

[Mori Gabriel Syme]

I have noticed that after about 50 years, no one will marry my princess or give a princess to marry my princes--even my allies. Most of my generals & governors end up married; might as well give them some extra loyalty instead of getting the spinster message.

Am I doing something wrong? My king's influence is as high as it can be; I may not be the very largest faction, but I'm not small either. It's really puzzling, & as my heir approaches 60 years old, it's becoming worrisome.

They probably percieve you as a threat, or noone woirth bothering with. Check out the threads about alliances/ceasefires not being accepted, it's the same thing.

I had a question about marriages and stuff as well. One I get one of my sons married to a princess from another faction....is it possible to lay claim to that faction if they have no heirs ?

Basically my plan was to assassinate all of the heirs and faction leaders of another faction in order to get their lands. Does anyone know if this is possible ?

[hrvojej]

It should be, but I have never observed that happening, and would be really interested to hear if somebody has. There was a discussion a while back where it was suggested that you have to have a princess married to the king who dies without a heir, and not just anybody, for this to occur, but it was only a speculation as far as I know.

Well Hrvojej I havent either gained any provinces from marriage...but I have seen on several occasions that factions get eliminated and turned into rebelstates cause the dying King has no heirs.
