Our policy of whether or not we will script the appearance of a general in the game is based on the fact that the game is re-writing history not re-living it. As soon as you change things in 1080, - history in the game world is no longer the same as the real world history.
However, the game is based on history. Yes, as sooon as you change history and bloodlines then Richard the Lionheart would not exist since he was the result of a specific lineage of kings and queens and all the complicated events that caused him to be born. However you need to ask yourself, what would the Middle Ages be without Richard the Lionheart, Saladin, Joan of Arc, Guy de Lusignan?
Therefore if you can think of an important warrior that was a key person in the Middle Ages and you would like him/her to be scripted to appear no matter what- then fill in the google document above.
