Matilda has three bastard children, but none with her husband, King Shabsai.
Right now, Matilda’s biggest problem-other than having pissed off the map’s second largest military power-is her lack of an heir. I’m just providing support-money, stat boosts, traits and the occasional assassination plot-via console commands. Instead, Matilda is being controlled by the AI. This was all possible because I’m not actually playing Crusader Kings II. She’s the Queen of Sardinia and Corsica (a kingdom that also comprises her original Italian duchy), and, at the age of 31, seceded from the Holy Roman Empire after a war against its new ruler, Kaiser Ordulf the Drunkard, who currently lives in her dungeons.
My Matilda di Canossa-the Crusader Kings II one-is essentially a turbocharged version of her historical counterpart. Look, I don’t want to make it sound like every problem can be solved by a murder, but I think this problem can be solved by a murder.
