Besides the sheer pleasure that torturing peasants and vassal brings, is the any other advantage of having the 'Cruel' trait?

Is there a way to prevent the spam of Jewish courtiers? Most, if not all of them, are zealous (default malus) and have poor stats, or barely passable ones at best. I don't feel comfortable at all having those potential plotters popping out every year or so. (BTW, why we didn't have the chance to reject when they appear, as we have with nobles, generals and those uppity lepers?)
Regarding courtiers, how can I prevent being flooded with garbage courtiers? (When a baron/feudal vassal dies heirless I have to carry with his family)

If you're independent you can 'Expell the Jews', which will kick all Jewish characters out of your realm and will stop new ones from showing up. It will give you a small diplomacy hit though.
In any case you can right-click a character and 'Ask them to leave Court'. That'll cost you a neglible amount of prestige (Five I think) and they'll go to a different court. They'll take their wife and children with them as well I believe.
I don't think there's a way to stop people from joining altogether though (except for closing the gate, but that is not really an option).
Doesn't the 'Expel Jews' button also reduce the income percentage? That's what has been stopping me from using it. I've never used jewish loans anyway. I know the method of asking them to leave, but when they're a lot (some barons had 10 daughters, 2 sisters and so on) it gets quite tiresome.
On an unrelated matter...why are all the ancient Roman Emperors too...Spanish looking? I know that Romans share ethnicity with the Castillians and Italians, but I know that, at least, up to Hadrian all Emperors were shaved (also, Augustus was blonde, and more fair-skinned than the average roman, given what Suetonius wrote about him, but that would require him having other ethnicity) so it would make sense for them to be shaved too.

I think the old roman emperors just have random portraits since they'll only appear in the histories.
Romans use Southern European or Occitan portraits, the former they share with Spain. It would be a bit much to give a dead culture their own portrait pack. Would you pay $2 for that?

Let's say as a nomad I took, and destroyed, holding wise, whole persian, arabian and hispania empire. Probably having 30 to 50k armies at all times.
So my vassals probably have 20-30k army each
What happens to THEIR armies when I settle down and they stop being my vassals?
Also, due how people usually intentionally make internal bordergore (giving them 2-3 holding slot counties, while hoarding 6-7 holding slot counties) will I be neighbouring them?

1) their hordes are unchanged
2) they keep the land they own, you keep the land you own
What would happen if I revoked all their lands and quickly settled?
Expelling Jews does indeed reduce income. You also periodically lose tech points, so it's not a good solution. Jewsih courtiers however are intended to have 1 good attribute, it's strange that yours don't.
Occitan and southern European portraits are not a thing. There's Mediterranean portraits (used by Byzantine and Jewish cultures) and Iberian portaits (used by Iberian cultures and Italians).
I found the jews income malus ahistorical so nowadays I either just change the malus to -1 learning or make the trait non-heritable
I also edit the tech malus from -50 to -1
Hey I have a problem.
I wanna control all counties in my capital duchy but one of them has temple as capital holding.
How can I change its capital holding to castle?

Right click on the castle. If you own it there should be an option to make it the county capital
Sorry, I should have said they use the Occitan and Southern European graphical cultures (occitangfx and southerngfx). The portraits they use would be whatever portrait is assigned to those graphical cultures, which would depend on the DLC you own.
Well, at least the use of Iberian portraits for Romans makes me feel like I'm recreating the WRE when playing as Castille. About the malus for expeling the jews, seems too excessive, for something that was, well, an historical event, specially during the Black Death and in Spain during the late Middle Ages. How long does it last, by the way? Until the current leader dies? Or it sticks forever?
It lasts for an unreasonably long time, and it carries over between descendants.
Hmm, thats quite unfair, specially for those of use that don't use loans and simply want a bit of historical flavour. That aside, how can I prevent my vassals from asking me for a title for them or for their unlanded sons?
That really enrages me for some reason, because they ask for particullary rich counties, very far from their demesne. When they ask for land for their sons, I usually refuse the request and then proceed to murder all their sons save for one out of anger. On the first case, I always reject them rudely, even when I've the chance of use diplomacy to refuse.

Don't let them reproduce?
You're almost always going to be getting that request as the liege.
I think if you force them to use Gavelkind, they won't ask you for extra land for anyone but themselves, since all the kids stand to inherit technically, even if they won't actually gain land.
If you've expelled the Jews you heir can invite them back in by decision. You lose an amount of gold equal to your yearly income by doing so, but you get two years worth of income when expelling them, so it can still pay off if you do it late enough in your ruler's life and then immediately welcome them back in when the heir inherits. You also gain 50 Prestige for welcoming the Jews back and lose 100 when expelling them. So if it weren't for the income malus you'd be trading 50 prestige for 1 years worth of income.
Hmm, I though more of the 'expelling' option as a way of keeping them out, not as a way from getting money. Now that I though, every abramhic kind/emperor should have the option of expelling 'heathens' sacrificing some prestige in exchange of piety (chistians expelling muslims, jews and pagans, muslims expelling jews and christians, and so on) and forcing any unlanded courtier from another religious group (save for dharmic/asian religions, since they're their own thing) to leave.
A bit out of the expelling matter, how should I partition Spain with the de jure drift? As the Roman Empire I did a partition of 3: Baetica (Andalusia minus some duchies), Lusitania (Portugal, Castille and Leon duchies) and Tarraconensis (Navarra, Aragon and Barcelona). How could I do it for the Spanish Empire? I though of Portugal (Portucal, Algarve, and Beja), Aragon (Navarra, Aragon, Barcelona, Valencia, Mallorca) and Castille (everything else). But, while historically accurate, they're ugly-shaped :'v.
