So far I had these two events only fire during the preperation phase for a crusade. But hey, I only have 5.000 hours on CKII so...
This is the groom that has been picked when the game fired the talented female councilor event.

Checks out, the game doesn't care about his fertility at all:
Code:
random_courtier = {
limit = {
is_female = no
is_adult = yes
prisoner = no
is_unimportant_trigger = yes
NOT = { character = ROOT }
}
add_spouse_matrilineal = event_target:female_councillor
}
Note the target of the Third Crusade: the beneficiary of the first two Crusades. Because the King of Burgundy, Crusader Aquitaine, and Crusader Aquitaine decided that becoming Waldensian would be a good idea. Faction stuff split Regular Aquitaine from the two Crusader Aquitaines sometime in the past decade.

Ah, the classic NO_TEXT_FOR_KEY casus belli!
Apparently something impossible, since they're not at war. In fact Louis is pressing Mastino's claim on a province in Burgundy at the moment.- 1
Hindu Persia. Note the Shah's War Elephant commander trait. Persia has been a vassal of a nomad khagan for a long time, thus the unusual religion, but that khaganate just imploded.

I triggered the Umayyad vassal revolt event as Big Karl, and I got a claim on his title - now the problem is, he's on the other side of the Iberian peninsula.
Is this one caused by the event where a courtier asks you to press their claim? That event doesn't check to see if the claim war is valid.View attachment 1207328

Would it surprise you if I said that this man started out as the leader of a children's crusade, and then was the crusader king of Jerusalem all his life, until the Abbasids drove him out of his lands with a jihad.

What is he Caliph of? That is what is confusing me. He is Catholic (or a Catholic heresy that has taken over), and not a member of a weird dynasty. Does he have one of the caliphates? Don't you need to be Muslim for that?
He is Shia Caliph. He took his title from previous Shia Caliph (and Sultan of Yerusalem) at children crusade.

Allied with a Jailed Cannibal. Good thing this was only an alliance based on my 3rd son's marriage and not the primary heir. So I thought I'd do a Deep Dive to sort out "why" this person may be motivated to become a Cannibal. Perhaps this also lends to some insight on human psychology, if that is possible to find somewhere in the deeper recesses of CK2's AI.
- So he started out in life club-footed, and perhaps thought he could eat his way out of the problem. Ironically, he is a Light Foot Leader.
- Name is "Richfrid" but that seems a typo in light of the circumstances, that should be "Richfried" instead, don't you think?
- And the Dynasty name is "Richfriding" of all things. So was he the Robin Hood of Cannibals? Butcher the Rich to Feed the Poor?
- Then there is the trio of being Lunatic, Drunkard, and Stressed out. What would a crazy stressed out person use as Comfort Food? And what wine goes with that leg of Lambert?
- But then there's the dichotomy of Cynicism and Devil Worship. So I'm not sure if he was cynical of the devil also. Or maybe he was the caterer for the local Devil Worshipping cult, lots of possibilities down that rabbit hole.
- Inspiring Leader, damaged Enemy Morale in combat. Maybe when he sacrificed to the gods, he proceeded to throw them on the grill while the fight continued on.
- And he is Diligent about this habit. He probably had more stored victims than Dahmer in his wood shed.
- Paranoid does fit in nicely also, because anyone suspicious toward his habit gets packaged with the Winter Squash.
- But here is the one Trait that threw me off, but in itself, must be the most gruesome Trait of all for a long-term Cannibal, the fact that this guy is - Content. That right there is scary. The Contented Cannibal.
