I have a request - Since I'm playing as a female, when she dies, a country cousin would normally take over - which scares me. Cyrus suggested playing with Elective law, and playing that person when they take over...but the problem with that is that person may be sixty years old and unmarried, thus it could happen again. So, here's my question...would anyone mind if I married the Duchess to one of the minor courtiers in my court or in one of my vassal's court, and then play the heir from the marriage after she dies? It would be a new dynasty, true, but at least it would have the legitimacy of coming from the Duchess. Plus, I'd gain no title claims from it, since it would be a randomly generated courtier.
