    Default Married a Danish Princess to my Heir…

    Playing an English campaign on H/H – and I managed to marry Prince Rufus to a Danish princess. So, what do I get for that? Does the entire royal line in Denmark have to buy the farm before Rufus gets his inheritance? Does that even work?

    If so, it may be time to train up some assassins to “move the process along”, so to speak.

    I married a Venetian princess to a Byz prince and I hoped at least for a ceasefire, if not an alliance. (She didn't "run away", mind you).

    The Byz dude just got the girl and kept attacking. Ha? Now that's some nerve!

    In my first few games I had no luck trying to marry MY princesses off - they always flew the coop. So I don't play that game anymore. Just park your princess on your territory and suitable husbands will come a courtin'.

    To answer the OP's question, no marrying a princess does not let you inherit anything. It only serves as a tool to forge an alliance. (and at the same time increase your heir's loyalty, but then thats not really important) If the princess has charm and certain traits, she can benefit your heir, but otherwise, its just as good as an usual alliance.

    Also, I found that if you eliminate the faction to which the princess you married belongs to, she dies as well (maybe a bug, not sure)

    I thought you could inherit some land, but it required the particular ending where a faction was wiped out on the battlefield with some of it's settlement not sieged. But I could just be being hopeful there...

    Your princesses only "run away" when you send them on a mission to marry an unmarried general of another faction (who is neither the King of the Heir) and attempt to being them into your faction. It is the equivilant to the agent dying during the mission, only in this case the Princess runs off with the general in question. I wonder what happens when the AI tries it on your generals??

    If you marry to a Prince or King you should automatically get an alliance (but this is not to say the you will not be immediately attacked by said faction in the same turn.

    In the first MTW as well as Shogun if you had an alliance with a faction and their heirs were wiped out you inherited some of their lands. In MTW you could forge those alliances with a princess.

    In the current game I am playing I married my English daughter to the Danish faction heir. When I looked at the family tree I saw their prince with the English coat of arms in the upper left corner of his picture but the English heir was another son of mine.

    Anyway, when that Danish prince inherited he attacked England. Perhaps believing he was entitled to claim England. However, in another game the Danish son ended up joining my family later on. Not sure what triggered that but it wasn't for many turns.


    As for princesses the only use I can think of them for is as a free support diplomat. You can boost their charm by sending them out to give gifts and exchange maps. Right now all my princesses seem to be getting the "Yappy Little Dog" ancillary and of course the dreaded "Chastity Belt" ancillary. *sigh*

    Once you build up a princess' charm you are more likely to be successful marrying her to another general and having him defect. However, after the first princess I've never been able to forge another alliance with any succeeding daughters. This may be a bug. (one of many) . . . (which probably won't get fixed)

    If it all gets too much I load all my crappy units like shady dealer merchants, intolerant diplomats and disloyal generals and I send them on a one way sea voyage into the rebel fleet. No more support to pay and I can free up spots for more merchants to be recruited. (but at this point I'm about finished with merchants)
