I just ran a quick search, and didn't see anything that answered this question, so I'm gonna ask here.
My question is this. I've learned that breeding your royal stock properly is one of the best ways to get decent generals without too much trouble, so I've taken to culling off less then ideal heirs. I also know that getting foreign princesses means less worry about becoming inbred six-toed bluebloods. But does the choice of your foreign princesses affect the stats of their children, or are all foreign princesses the same?
For example, I'm playing as the spanish. I've killed off my two oldest sons since they were incompetent and my third son was a seven star general. Now my king is getting old though, and I need to find a bride for my heir. Should I take an english bride if one becomes available? Or should I hold out for a princess who comes from less useless stock, since the english seem to have a very poor bloodline going? Will a Danish princess give me more competent heirs, since the Danes have better stats then the english do?
Thanks in advance for any help
