Irrational councillor

[joos]

I love the new council mechanics, but this one is quite unfair. Here is my story.

I started as the Yagubid khagan, waited for a missionary from a nearby sunni kingdom, converted to islam, settled down as an Iqta count and conquering my way to the kingdom of Turkestan and Khiva. One of my secondary wives had super awesome intrigue and she quickly put that to good use by killing my first wife and becoming my primary spouse. I was so impressed I made her my spymaster.

Now before I made her a spymaster, I gave a county to my firstborn from my dead first wife. Then, after I made her my spymaster, I created the kingdom of Turkestan and decided to give my first born the duchy. But my council refuses. That's okay, but my spymaster-wife refuses because she herself is unlanded. But that's totally unfair because I can't land her as a muslim and she should know that.

I would be fine if she didn't want to give land to the ex-wife's son. But that's not her reasoning. And she is a barren woman, so no children of her own. She wants land! Cut me some slack, woman!

Have you tried seducing your wives prior to marrying them? If she was in love with you, her council stance would probably be loyalist and she'd vote for whatever you wanted.
