I heard someone say on this Forum that the dead Lords and ladies do not count after the 1.2 update. I also made a post about this and a person asked if the developers could comfirm this but we had no comfirmation yet. This would be awesome cause i have around 21 dead lords and ladies. It would give me room to have more children with my great grand children and beyond. I am on Ps4/Ps5 so i can not test if this is true. Grtz Vaan.
