So, my start date is 769. I create a ruler for Kent with the Strong trait, a few negative modifiers to cancel that out, and wind up with him starting at the age of 29 with a military education. (Level 1, gets to level 3 before I finish creating the duchy of Kent). Anyway, because my character is celibate (though he has two sons and a daughter), only women older than 45 will marry him. I'm playing with the "Old Age" mod, that introduces old age between the age of 50 and 60 with a -2.00 modifier to health.
Despite getting the trait at 52 years old, my character lives to 78. That's a VERY long time with the old age mod.
In the course of his life, he had 14 wives. (He outlived 13 of them, and his 14th outlived him.) He never divorced any of them, never murdered any of them.
Now, I'll grant the circumstances were exceptional, and the old age mod hurt the wives more than it hurt him, but still... 14 wives for a Catholic ruler?
