Does your heir always get really crappy traits when you grant him land?

OK, on the flip side, does that mean if you have an heir with lousy traits, you grant him a county and somehow he'll get better, humm? :happy:

I don't think landing a character makes a difference for the events I'm thinking of. It seems if your character is stacked with traits (good or bad), you will get hit with no-choice events that remove a trait. I've lost Kind, Patient, Zealous, Content, Proud, Humble, and Diligent this way (and probably some more that I can't recall right now). It probably has something to do with the total number of traits on the character.

As a Christian if I have dynasty members that don't have claims on my Primary titles I think it's ok to throw them a county to keep them content and build up dynastic prestige: because as Duchess of Leinster in CK2+ I have two dynasty members as counts and another independent member that rules across the sea in Wales

Always fun. My thrifty clerk Empress took the throne because of her excellent traits, and she's lost charitable and diligent since then. Thank goodness for the prestige and piety buffs, plus she (usually) has plenty of money for gifts and is starting to get a long reign bonus.

I have found landing your heir (or her husband) as a Baron in one of your demesne provinces usually keeps them out of trouble. If a son in-law is of a different culture, landing him as a burgher in your demesne can also work out quite well, but mark him as a person of interest so you can gather up the family members when he dies.
