Regular marriage, Husband's dynasty.
Matrilineal Marriage, Wife's dynasty.

Well, if you marry princess away, then it will be of duke's dynasty- and the children will go to that dynasty.
If you have matrilineal marriage, then your princesses will produce heirs of your dynasty- but the Duke's aren't stupid enough to agree to matrilineal marriages.

Unless the Duke happens to be a non-legitimized bastard, then he has little choice. But finding unmarried, childless bastard dukes for your daughters can be tough :)

You'll never be able to marry directly to a classical duke or his heir with a matrilineal marriage. Thus it will never give a child of your dynasty.
Even with a woman with an emperess title will have hard time to make a matrilineal marriage with a baron/count.

However, it's possible to marry with a matrilineal marriage your female dynasty member with a character ranked 4th on the list of succession. Then it's just assassin job to get them to the top !

Another question relating to this topic: Will these children of the other dynasty love their grandfather (me) very much? So that when they reach the throne, they are great allies? Or do they forgot the dynasty of her mother and its nothing special?

Same dynasty get +5 opinion and are ALWAYS allied.
But grand children of another dynasty won't get you anything at all. Maybe a temporary alliance as son of your daughter... but I'm really not sure about it.

If you cover the world with your dynasty, you can call the world to your war (but they still can refuse if they don't like you)


My opinion about it : marry your dynasty men for alliance, keep your dynasty women for matrilineal marriage in order to get more men of your dynasty.
It's a complete win as you'll have easy marriage giving you dynasty children and many dynasty children available at home for future marriage.
