Marrying Off Non-Faction Heirs

It doesn't really matter, does it? If he becomes an heir, you can get a wife for him. If he doesn't, then he's just like any other general and his sons are like any other general. Adoptions fill out your family tree nicely and you won't need to worry about losing the game due to your family dying out.

Exactly! Well put simply rely on adoptions, if you do get offered marige then take it but really there isnt a great need to marry off your 2nd in line

The main reason that this is even an issue is because I wanted to try to keep the royal line as pure as I can. Trying to just marry off males and not marry off the females and princesses. If the heir only has daughters, I was hoping one of his brothers would have a son or two to continue the line. I hope everyone can understand my thinking now. Thanks.

UPDATE:

I gave up trying to keep my royal line pure. My "generals", either sons or brothers of the king and heir are not getting offers for marriage. To make things worse, a bunch of them got killed in the myriad of storms that plague Portugal. I had no heirs at one point. Adoptions, here I come. I wish I could kidnap some foreign princesses. That would be a cool feature!

Has anybody been able to find any kind of trigger that determines if/when marriage proposals are initiated?

I reckon you could but game only lets you do it to a certain degree. No marrying sisters and brothers. I think it has to be at least a certain number of degrees of separation though I haven't tried it yet.
