Piety -- I believe that piety is, to some extent, influenced by the zeal level of the province in which it was created. I know that if you have a province of between 90-100% zeal, you are guaranteed high piety soldiers. I do NOT know whether if you retrain someone there (like as high-rated-8-star general with LOW piety) if the high zeal also benefits him.
I think there is conection in high piety and high zeal, when training trops. Don't think it influences retraining. As the byz in high, I allways get low piety trops (28% zeal max), as the danes higher piety (60% zeal).
