HOWEVER...
In this game, I stress, game here, The Princess agents can steal enemy generals and they can become a part of your family. There are different outcomes when a princess agent attempts this.
1. She succeeds and the General decides that it would be more fun being a part of your family and so he comes over to your side. (I'd like to note that the faction you steal him from doesn't like you doing that at all and your relations with that faction will suffer)
2. She really likes him and decides it would be better to join his family, and you lose both of them.
3. He rejects her proposal, upsetting her greatly.
Its not really worse because historically Generals probably would have joined another army if they were offered to become part of the royal family in a big empire! ( It's a different way of bribing a general that you want which is more likely to succeed and bring you lots of happy little generals and princesses afterwards too, without having to spend tens of thousands of florins)
There was a bug with this though, when the general accepted and he became a general in your army, he and his bride didn't appear on the family tree (even though he was in your faction on the map), when they should have, it seems they have fixed this bug in the 1.2 patch.
What you seem to be talking about is diplomatic marriages which this isn't about, its more about the stealing generals mission actually works now, instead of both the princess and general disappearing off your family tree, they are now on your family tree. However if she does decide to run off with the general they both won't be on the family tree.
I hope this clears it up for you edyz.
