My wife Etheldreda, who's Duchess of Lothian in her own right (after I killed off all her siblings for our kids' sake), took her own court chaplain as her lover and bore him a bastard daughter she named after herself. Strangely, she murdered her namesake just four days after the birth! Etheldreda Jr. was weak, so maybe my wife offed her because of that? But even if that's was the case, I'm now a little paranoid about our own four kids, especially our only son and my heir! They're all fully legitimate and healthy (I double-checked both, the former with charinfo, just in case), but still....
ETA: My wife is getting more and more interesting. My wife now has three lovers, two of them priests. She's borne another bastard daughter to her second priestly lover (who's also her lowborn chancellor). This child has no negative health traits, and it's been two years since her birth, so I'm cautiously expecting her to escape her mother's wrath. My wife's third lover has yet to get her pregnant, and she's in her early 40s now, but with her I never know!
In case you were wondering, I'm letting my wife and her lovers get away with all this out of morbid fascination. Besides, she's now given me two sons and six daughters who're unquestionably mine, so whatever.
And our firstborn son and mutual heir? He's possessed, which might explain a few things about his mother (though she doesn't have the trait herself). I've never played a possessed character, so I'm actually kind of excited at the possibility!
