My Byzantine king died which was a bad thing but his son became king which was a good thing. The next year it was announced that my new shiny king now had a son and heir which was a good thing. In the third year it was announced that my king could not wait for a bride so was marrying a member of the nobility. Now either my king is a bigamist or he got some girl up the duff outside of wedlock. Naughty king as the Byzantine Social Services will be after him for maintenance and an ever so small glitch in the game.

There have been similar scandels in the Russian court!

What scares me more is the occassional 15 year old heir who begins with father/daughter incest. The whole child out of wedlock thing doesn't bother me there...it's the situation you get yourself into when you do the math on his 'lover'. ::shiver::
The game sometimes does sometimes misreport brothers coming of age as 'sons'. It's like in Shogun when your daimyo was especially longed lived...you'd ocassionally see what were historically grandchildren being born and called your daimyo's sons by the announcer.
I still sort of wish that they would include a family tree whenever your won/lost/quit a game so you could see the crazy mixed up messes that occur...

If it's not a feature it should be. The times haven't really changed that much, and there were many children born out of wedlock who had royal blood.

Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell so that they look forward to making the trip.

I tend to marry off my daughters to ex-royalty to boost morale, but never seem to worry about "inbred mongrel" vices. lol
I think the "maturity" notice you get is that heirs not matured aren't removed from the succession table like matured generals are...possibly a bug?

Hmmm, you know, it could have been a postumous birth. The father actually being the emperor who died a year earlier. Which would make him a younger brother, not a son.
