This is one of my first CK2 screenshots. Made back in 2018, with version 2.8.X (Jade Dragon).

It happened because son and heir of the Muslim Emperor was somehow educated by their Court Physician with his culture and religion and it stayed like this for good.

As for myself, I started in 867 as Emperor Basil Makedon with the intent to restore Rome. Perhaps my 3rd or 4th campaign ever in ck2. Probably the first one to become successful. Easy difficulty, no ironman xD. Generic game settings - Black Death screwed us royally but I still made it through.

EDIT: No, actually it was not quite successful. I just had a flashback. After I restored SPQR borders, the Aztec came and ruined me xD.

First one is available with the "poet" trait. The second with the "cruel" one.

PS. But what is really interesting that Poet's insults are never the same. For comparison, here is one against a shy Woman, that I posted some time ago.

I finally took over as my son only to find out he is lovers with his own daughter! We don't have divine marriage. He is not a seducer. How on Earth, did this happen?!

PS. Naturally, I will be breaking up with her.

EDIT: And of course, what I meant is peak degeneracy done by NPC. We all know, players can do "better".

While arranging a marriage, if you hover over a candidate's name, a hint will appear about their relatives. This can be helpful in forming alliances. Like a bit more helpful than manually checking out their family. Which, I did the entire time... Herp derp xD
