So are 3rd son nobles.
I had one who was a full fledged knight, but zero chance at holding power, and his elder brothers treated him like shit from basically birth... so he became a champion of the peasantry and pissed off ALL the nobility. But because he was so well loved... they couldn't really do anything to him. (edited)
I had a similar character; his culture was divided the land up between the sons, but he got the smallest of the three, but it had the most developed part, so he had a pretty capable bit of land, and a very skilled and loyal martial to back him up, because he was a young and as such rather dumb; there was also a local countess, who being the only surviving child of her family, realized people would try to take her holdings, but she had found a law that allowed polygamy, so long as the main spouse was of hirer status than their partners, and so she started courting all these local minor lords who are all like 3rd and fourth sons, plotting out this whole scheme, so that if someone attacks her holdings, a dozen minor lords and their armies join into to kick their ass, and one of the suitors was this character, who had a thing for her, and was quite excited about it, but was jealous of this other lord in a similar Position, and the two go to war, much to the lady’s annoyance, and he loses, and he gets pissy and storms off to go adventuring to cool his heels; the lordess is rather peeved at this, and keeps giving the party missions, trying to win their favor and get this guys attention, and keeps dropping hints, because all the other suitors got the memo, but he’s completely oblivious , and she’s just getting more and more annoyed at him
