Have a few questions. Plz respond! :)

1. So I'm playing as Spain on H/H. Gunpowder age just came. I'm gonna soon finish off the Moors once I retrain my army. Then I will take Florence, Tunis and Ajaccio. I'm also at war with France. Basically I'm not really interested in expanding into Europe, but the damn French will never agree to a truce and if they will they will just attack me again. If I invade inland France, there will most likely be a huge cluster fck where I will have to defend agains the scots, danes, HRE which I'm not interested in since I want to expand in the West against the TUrks and Egyptians. Hungary also recently declared war, but I think after killing a couple more of their stacks they most likely agree to a truce. I was thinking of driving the french out of north western france by taking Angers and Rennes. Basically I think I read somewhere on this forum that if you border another country by like 2 or 3 more territories they will always be at war with you. So after I take out those 3 milan territories that I mentioned I was considering making them a vassal to work as a buffer between France and making only Paris territory bordering my lands after I aquire those two french territories I took. BTW if you're wondering about the English, their my only ally along with the Papal States (who I control since I make sure the pope is always Spanish.) So is this plan going to work, or it just gonna end up as another cluster fck campaign tha I just hate... (BTW I attached my map)

2. Has anyone ever got a princess in high charm??? Is it possible. If so post a screenie and how you did it. I seem to never be able to get them to high charm.

3. Also after capturing Constantinople I got the "Holy Lance". Is it possible to give it to another general like it sort of says in the description?

Oui. In vanilla Constance starts relatively high and you use her for some basic diplomacy with your neighbors she'll be the Jewel of the French crown. In my current game, my first Princess had quite high charm and the Kevian Rus had a full charm Princess, that I could not successfully court because the bastards wouldn't sign a ceasefire....

But yeah, just successfully negotiate stuff. You'll get charm like it's going out of style.

Yes i have. It's random basically like 5-6 charm princess pops up. What you can do is just before she is about to come of age you save and reload the campaign till you get her right.
Note the probability of charm will vary if you change some variables before clicking next turn like Assassinate someone, move some agents here and there etc.
And successful diplomacy helps her reach like 8-9 charm as mentioned above.

3. Also after capturing Constantinople I got the "Holy Lance". Is it possible to give it to another general like it sort of says in the description?

Yes it's possible. You keep the generals in a single settlement or merged in one army. You then simply Drag and drop the anc(holy lance) over the portrait of the other general that doesn't have it.

If you get a max charm princess and then marry her, what kind of trait will that general get?

Also do you know whats the minimum amount of provinces you can border another faction before they are crazy aggressive against you? I heard it's 3 but not sure.

Consider taking Bern unless Ajaccio has built up as a fortress. Toulouse is too far away from Milan and Genoa to properly reinforce with castle-based units.

It depends on what traits the princess had to increase her charm. You can refer to the character traits guide for details. There are quite a few of "Wife is ..." traits.

Define crazy aggressive. In my current game as England, VH/M, I allied with France, successfully encircled Paris and Rheims by taking their surrounding regions from rebels and from the HRE, leaving only Marseille as an outlet for France. I'm almost up to turn 30 and they're still friendly allies, except for sending a full stack across my Dijon to their Marseille despite the fact we don't have a military access agreement. I wish I could penalise them for violating my borders like they do to our relationship when I cross their borders.

And despite not having a common border with either Moors or Sicily, they seem obsessed with attacking my Toulouse. If Sicily is still excommunicated when my crusade to Jerusalem happens, I'm going to make a stop on the beautiful beaches of Palermo and hopefully put an end to Sicily's insanity.

Crazy aggresive is basically when they send every man, woman and child to kill you. It has happened to me in many campaigns where I was fighting like 3-4 stacks a turn. Currently in my game that's not the case, but I have a feeling this type of aggression will start. I just heard that the AI is programmed to attack you no matter what, if you border them with 3 or more territories. Is this true? If that's the case, is the vassal theory I made in my original post could be used to act as buffer region with the rest of europe?

You could instead of the constant reloading, also try the cheat console and give her some traits.
