Can you please provide a list of those playable saints you mentioned. I'd love to try playing as them.
I'm currently playing St. Louis IX of France (8 November 1226).
The other ones I'm mostly going to play later are:
David I of Scotland (1 April 1124 as king of Scotland but available as Duke of Lothian from a much earlier date, not sure about the historicity of it, very debatable rights to the crown, skipping a legitimate son of his elder brother while his own succession was under primogeniture; referred to as the king who made Scotland--basically a lot of city and church building, reforms etc.)
Ladislaus I (Laszlo) of Hungary (25 April 1077, called King Lancelot and reputed for chivalry, claim to throne fuzzy, some holy warring with the Cumans or Pechengs)
Canute IV of Denmark (some point in 1080, actually planned an invasion of England and he too was illegitimate, strengthened the Church in Denmark)
Charles the Good, Count (Duke in the game) of Flanders (around 17 July 1119, actually Danish and son of St. Knud--inheritance through mother)
Eric IX of Sweden (some point in 1155, murdered en route to mass, some controversies re: canonisation; patron of Sweden)
Canute Lavard, Duke of Schleswig (some point in 1115, chivalrous and germanophile, died young)
Magnus Erlendsson of Orkney (count unless the game puts him higher, 1108)
Ragnvald Kolsson of Orkney (1129)
Ferdinand III of Castille (1217, King of Castille, later in 1230 also King of Leon, very big on reconquista, had a sword that had a name)
Louis IV of Thuringia (1217, either count or duke, he was a landgrave, died young en route to a crusade, so I probably won't be playing him, his wife was also a saint)
Humbert III of Savoy (1148, probably count of Savoy, maybe duke in the game, generally stayed in a monastery other than being begged by his subjects to produce an heir)
Leopold III of Austria (1095, either duke of Austria or count, declined to become HRE but had a sense of semi-independence as margrave)
There also some Orthodox ones (should generally be valid as Catholic saints, though with some complications):
Kings of Georgia:
David IV (some point in 1089)
Demetre I (1125)
Queen Tamar (1184)
Demetre II (1270)
Vakhtang II (1302)
and possibly some other rulers of Georgia
Stefan Nemanja of Serbia (some point in 1166, their Nemanjic dynasty was much revered later on)
Vsevolod of Pskov (1117 in Novgorod)
Yaropolk Izyaslavich (Vladimir/Turov 1078)
Alexander Nevsky (Novgorod, 1236)
...and a lot of Russian princes really
It's likely that a number of less known dukes and counts may be saints, just hard to find on common lists. A lot of queens, duchesses and other assorted royals and high nobles being wives rather than rulers, who should be in the game. For example St. Margaret of Scotland, who was the sister of the popular favourite Eadgar Atheling. Obviously a number of bishop saints should be there in some periods.
(Anybody please PM me if you suspect you've come across somebody I haven't spotted.)
