How can I get non-family generals?

[Mikhal]

Do you know if that affects the actual family-status of them? As in will the tool tip still say "Imperial family Member" or will it go "Imperial General?"

My main concern right now is that I adopted some random peasant leader and it now seems that he's the eldest son of my heir, and it would be kinda wrong if he was to be crowned Holy Roman Emperor one day for his glorious achievement of defeating a unit of rebel peasants by firing at them from a hilltop with 120 archers.

goes to show that medieval lords practiced Jus Primae Noctis. therefore the peasant could have been an heir just not from the queen.
