How to encourage Vassals of my Dynasty to marry daughters matrilineally?

[HERC0]

I'm trying to expand my Dynasty accross the map but suffer from a severe lack of members to grant landed titles to. For example my ruler is soon to inherit the Kingdom of Poland from his dear old mother along with around 8 landed titles, but he is already at his demesne limit. I'd like to grant the land to distant relatives but unfortunately... they don't exist! If my distant relative Vassals within my realm had married their daughters matrilineally then I would have plenty but they never ever do! I have plenty of unmarried male courtiers but they don't rank highly enough when I propose a betrothal while the daughters are still growing up.

Any suggestions???

Invite their daughters to your court when they're old enough and marry them as you see fit. They'll have to hate their father though.

Rulers like to use thier sons and daughters to benefit them, alliances etc, they don't care about thier nieces and nephews that might be in thier court. This is how I deal with those situations, but, it's really something you have to pay attention to early on to ensure a steady supply of dynasty members.

You should keep a few branches in your court for this, I had great success at a large dynasty by making sure every daughter was matrimarried so they all stay and hopefully have 2-3 children.

I arrange marriages first and give land second. Also, people I marti-marry my daughters to rarely own any land.

Just start a family breeding program early, that way you'll usually have lots of relatives stocked up. Few steps to that:

1. First ruler needs to lease wives rather than buy them - marry 16-yr olds, return to parents (divorce) at 30 and get a newer model. You basically want lots of kids.
2. Keep the kids at court and marry them to non-landed characters (females marry matrilineally). Don't give any of them or their kids land for now.
3. About 3 generations in, you should have enough family members at court to start giving the older ones land while keeping the younger ones as breeding stock.

Absolute conagtic ussually do the trick, but sometimes backfire too.

Invite men to your court - especially men with claims you might one day want to press. Use the character filter to find unmarried women of your dynasty and more often than not their lord father will be happy to marry matrilineally the guy with claims that you just invited to your court. Pay attention to your family tree when it is young and be ready to offer matri-marriage or even a betrothal to children. Do this often, even when you don't have land to give out so that when you do get land, you have options. Write down their name and later, when you get land, you can give him or better yet their children land.

While keeping family in court is a good idea, just bare in mind they are maxed to 2 or maybe even just 1 children if you have a large court. Don't be afraid to make family members mayors of a city. It is planning for the future - mayors will always marry off their daughters with ease if you ask and they will have as many children as their fertility/lifespan allows. Keep an eye on those mayors and invite their children to your court or if they wont come, make sure their children get wives/husbands. (I have never seen a mayor turn down a marriage).

1) Marry every woman of your dynasty matrilineally to some lowborn, then land him. If he'll die you'll inherit.
2) If a kinswoman won't accept the invitation to either come over or be married invite her after she married. Then kill her husband (assassination or excommunication) and re-marry her.
3) Only if all women are already "put in place" land men. They tend to kill each other like flies if they can gain anything from it.
4) Keeping family in court isn't the best idea: They will have less children and die earlier. And I'm pretty sure more land makes people more fertile in this game. Be assured, spreading them out all over the place is the best model.
5) Of course marry / remarry your ruler and father loads of children. Then land every single one of them. Preferably the women

Usually I end up with something like this after a while when I do this excessively (screenshot is from ~1375)

What you should do instead is right click on the go to character button and you'll see a star to mark the character as special interest. Then you can always pull up your characters as your opportunities come available.
