But peasant rebellions only spawn when the province has a different culture than you. If the peasants didn't change their culture, shouldn't peasant rebellions keep on happening if it is as you say?

Nah, as 'peasant' rebellions were, more or less, led by lower nobles and in the end it's a game mechanic that has to work somehow.
If i remember correctly, peasant rebellions used to be possible with the same culture, but it was a "whack-a-mole " situation, rather annoying and thus cut.
If you have another opinion still, fine with me. I'm not trying to convince you and i won't argue about it anymore.

Alright...
So, let me get this straight... A ruler from a Frankish dynasty, with Anglo-Saxon name and Bedouin culture? Makes sense.

I am willing to bet a reasonable amount that before the Bedouin line of kings started, there was a female ruler of France. And probably a Count of Tunis or similar.

Meet Anastatasius III, the current Pope and Aoua, his maid and secret lover. One of their children is a Cardinal, with a good chance to become the next Pope. It makes my Orthodox character long to become a Catholic.

Not unheard of, Pope Sergius III was the father of Pope John XI or XII, can't remember which one :D.

Can't say I've ever seen a Karluk Hungary before. His dad, Arpad's starting son, was Bohemian, which is rare enough by itself but not completely outlandish. This, however...

I'd overthrow him. This beard is unacceptable.

0/10 would overthrow. As the Welsh.

What culture is Karluk anyway? I'm only getting results for Alaska from google, and that seems... outlandish.

Kurdish Miaphysite Alania, because why the hell not? (still with the original alan orthodox dynasty though, so it's not a conquest... Btw shouldn't it be called Ovseti on the map, since the ruler is kurdish?)

The Karen. Yup, those Karen. And still Zoroastrian I might add. You know what finally brought down their kingdom in this playthrough? Not Abbasids, not Saffarids or Samanids, not even the Seljuqs... it was Zoroastrian heresies... And then those heresies were conquered by Hindu Shahis who converted most of Persia, who in turn were conquered by Seljuq Afghans. Weird persia in that playthrough...

Fear the might of the Seljuq... Afghans...? Doesn't sound right...
