Unfortunately, it's very difficult to marry your females who are past childbearing years; few of any rank want to marry them and when you click on their rings in the portrait view you only get a list of suitors in your own realm, not suitors from all over as you used to. But even searching the world is quite difficult as, like I said, few want to marry them.

However, bastards *have* to marry matrilinearly, so as long as they're not in line for succession they'll marry into your court even to your old infertile females. However, my problem is that there's no way to filter for bastards, or indeed any particular trait, in the search window. That would be a nice addition. And putting all eligible bastard husbands in the list of potential suitors in the rings portrait view search thingy would be even nicer....

To heck with bastards, I want to search for "Lusty" or "Midas Touched" or other useful traits. Mostly lusty or other +fertility ones.

This is probably a little gamey, but I also search for 'Genius', 'Quick', and 'Strong'. Those are genetics that can be passed on to the children. I am experimenting with eugenics in the middle ages! But 'Lusty' (and there's a couple other traits that add fertility) is a trait I look for if I have a ruler (or Heir) that is getting long in the tooth and lacks an appropriate successor.

Eh. I tried that as well, but the rate at which they're passed on is so low that it isn't really worth bothering with.
