Here's a fact that's not well known...

Did you know that over time your generals die of old age? The game don't tell you this, but Lord Kulvart the Duke of Normandy might be Lord Donaldson the Duke of Normandy in a couple game turn. What this does is usually raise their stats with time. Over time, I've had general with maxed out stats. So it's important to give out every titles you have, and give them to decent unit. There's really no point of having a peasant unit with max command, for example.

I noticed this when one of my king died, and his sons became regular generals. They still had the same name, but had the royalty icon still. Then later I saw the same unit, but he didn't have my familly name and crown anymore, and he had better stats, but it was still the same unit with the same titles.

This guy isn't the best one I've had, his dread suck. I believe he used to be a prince. Over time your general keep gaining vices and virtues, and you can even end up with two rows of them.
