They produce tons of kids, but only the eldest male from a previous marriage was worth anything. He became a masterful scholar, competent warrior, and accomplished statesman.He also couldn't keep his hands off his wife (and vice versa) as the were, uh very passionate. As I was living his life, he accomplished quite a bit. Turns out he lives a really, really long time. My second, and current play through, I'm playing as the southern most Irish Earl, Duncan.

I lost the kingship in Scotland after trying, and failing miserably to consolidate power. While my main Scottish lord wasted away in a prison, I was helpless to do anything considering the noble i took over was some decrepit old crone. in my first play through I lasted about 150 years before becoming landless, then moving on to my next closest relative who had an heir that was not allowed to inherit. ARG! I knew I shouldn't have sent him to get tutored by the bishop! So I'm now getting all excided about the things I'll be able to acheive playing as the son of the 2nd wife, since I should get a lot of years in, and upon turning 16 I get the 'I think I prefer the company of men' message. So now the third wife wants to kill the heir because it's not her's and the king dies at 48 (no doubt from the stress of so much kinslaying). Only to find out the 2nd wife was pregnant and finally had a son. In a panick at the age of 43 I divorsed again and remaried a third time. only to have the new wife give me three straight daughters. I then got divorsed from the matrilineal marriage and remarried. The second had awesome martial abilities, but had to go as well, sending the king into a depression. First was a douchebag, so he was offed no problem. So when the second son became king I've now got 2 male heirs not of my dynasty. Yeah, I got stuck after inadvertently marrying my second son off to a more powerful king in a matrilineal marriage only to have my main heir killed by my sister.
