Earlier studies of time-dependent models of rotating magnetic stars are extended to the case where the field is no longer strictly antisymmetric with respect to an equatorial plane, thus modelling the 'displaced dipole' configuration. Results are presented for models which are rotationally dominated, with the meridional flow approximately given by the Eddington-Sweet circulation through most of the radiative region. The angle chi between the rotation and magnetic axes is taken as either 0 or pi/2. When chi = 0 there is critical value of the rotational parameter, lambda(omega), below which an initial field with low concentration to the stellar interior does not change significantly over a main-sequence lifetime. Larger values of lambda(omega) result in a reduction of the surface field with time. When chi = pi/2 the surface field is never buried, but for larger values of lambda(omega) it becomes concentrated towards the magnetic poles.
