All my men of royal blood are dead and having just beat off the Horde I’m desperate not to lose my kingdom.
I've had Kings get into their 80's, and have read reports in other threads of even older rulers. Just save the game each turn before ending the year - if your King dies, reload and change something (Emmisaries, Spies, Assasins, Princesses, build queues, etc. - just about anything will do to change the random number generator seed).

It's cheesy, but far better than losing a good campaign due to infertility.
