no parents, family, wives or other relations...

but seriously, high stewardship mainly for mayor, high learning for bishop if you want a court chaplain, but high stewardship for him as well. And of course same culture/religion as you.

What makes a good bishop?

Any son that you don't want to inherit.

Do you really care that much for bishops and mayors? These titles are not inherited, so you will get a random one anyway... I always use "create new vassal", unless there is a specific person I want to make a bishop. Being a reformed pagan however, the latter is not that useful any more...

Only their opinion of you matters

High stewardship, same culture/religion as yourself good opinion of you, married for the mayor (slight boost of char).

However, in practice, I often pick as mayors people I want to give a good position in life (for instance unrecognized bastards, landless remote cousins, etc...) . More roleplay than technic.

Also, note that by picking someone as mayor or bishop, you make him available as general, mentor, advisor, etc... So, I tend to check in my realm for characters with good stats to "promote". You can, for instance, "steal" a good spymaster from a lowly vassal this way.

If I am not mistaking, traits like "Diligent" also make them upgrade your holdings better, whereas some vassals may just hoard money until the end of days.

You don't need to land your courtiers to use them as such, but you are right about stealing good ones from vassals :ninja: Good advice - I will try to use that too.
