They can recruit into a besieged Stronghold and for a nation that is not at war, since card recruiting overrides the normal restrictions. They cannot recruit into a settlement the enemy has captured or a region occupied by enemy units. Where a card names a region, other rules like the stacking limit still apply, and the card text may add its own limits (for example 'free region').
