Every single monarch in my game from the HRE to every king and duke to the counts is marrying a lowborn. It happened once in a while, but this is ridiculous.
The lowborns really need to be fixed

In my europe everyone prefer lowborn women too. Maybe there is lack of nobles in 11 century ?
No it is a result of the lowborn general spam from creating retinue units and the random debutante just showing up filling up courts.(non rulers don't have kids when court size exceeds 30)Not allowing the non ruling Nobles to Breed.
I think they still have children. The penalty just makes it so they can't have more than one child.
Personally I would prefer that they just remove the lowborn generals completely. Let us assign people to lead the retinues instead.
This exactly! Plus spamming the retinue generals that on average are over 20 skill military seems to take away the careful breeding and training incentive. Doomdark please take heed of this. We know the team is sick with the flu, but please try to implement this for the next patch!
The system by which AIs choose wives needs to be improved in general. I always hate it when one of my landholding son's carefully chosen wife dies and he goes off and maries some useless idiot from a unimportant family.
Yeah, I actually raised a retinue and its general's martial was 8. Got me laughing because all my other retinue generals started off with martials of 20. I understand why they auto generate leaders for the retinues, but it is really throwing courts way out of whack. Please let us "grant" retinues instead maybe?
Before, instead of marrying random lowborns, monarchs would marry random courtiers who at least were part of a noble family (even if they were its only member in-game) - this at least was relatively believable. Emperor Bob the all-mighty of the Empire marrying a random girl off the street isn't as believable. The AI for marriage selection has to be adjusted, and the number of lowborn female courtiers has to seriously be curbed.
Don't forget its always some fat woman around age 35 with absolutely awful stats
"Fat bottomed girls they make the rocking world go round..."

+1 to getting ridding of retinue general spam as discussed more deeply in the earlier thread...
Definately needs to be fixed. Pretty riddiculous for a monarch or duke marrying a lowborn peasant girl. This is a game breaker for me.
Few things chap my hide more than noticing that some squalling whelp is suddenly heir to two counties in my kingdom. I thought I made it clear: NO ONE GETS MORE THAN ONE COUNTY EXCEPT THE KING AND DESIGNATED HEIR. I will mercilessly slap down any vassal, Duke or Count that dares to challenge this policy. GRRRR.
If I wasn’t for this thread, I would have been happily ignorant, but now I see the amount of lowborns married to Kings. Especially in the East. Clearly they're marrying anything in order to stock up their armies to fight off the Horde.
Still... :/

Sadly its always two steps forward one step back when it comes to these DLC's. Patience is a virtue I guess.
hmm in my current game after the last patch I'm in year 1102 now. I count 2 Christian kings having married lowborns and there are around 15-20 Christian kings in game yet. Also, some dukes married them and heirs of the HRE often marry them.
I wouldnt have recognized it or would have thought of it as a funny irregular unique happening, if i hadnt read this post though. But hence I havent looked out for it in the past, I am not able to state clearly that this is an effect of the newest patch.
