Do Widows Remarry?

[RedJack]

Many widows in Roman times did stay unmarried. If their sons were to young, and their fathers dead, they could have more power then they could if they were married.

Remarriage did happen though.

[Simetrical]

If we really want to be realistic, Ptolemaic (Egyptian) rulers should be able to marry their sisters. Then we'd be able to use those nifty hidden Inbred traits.

[Maedhros]

Many rulers had harems of women for "enjoyment" the actual wife was more about getting ahead in society or making a political alliance.

Cultures with many wives may end up having far more princes than other cultures and could imbalance the game. In addition to not being functional with the family tree.

Also what if a daughter in law wanted to remarry? Obviously that would not be allowed...It would open up some interesting internal politics. and civil wars.
