A simple way is to look at the meaning of de jure and de facto.
De jure means "by law". The kingdom of Ireland, by law, holds all counties and duchies in Ireland. If someone else conquers one of these duchies/counties, they are de facto holder (the actual holder) but not de jure holder (the lawful holder)
After some generations, the laws change as it is generally accepted that these conquered/inherited counties/duchies are now rightfully part of their new holder's kingdom/empire.

I have some douchebag counts who are fighting eachother. Not sure who is fighting who, it seems like a free for all. Any tips on how to handle it? They all hate my guts, but my chances of successful assassination is very bad. The Duke loves me though.
Any chance the situation will solve itself? I'd assume the Duke would handle it for me eventually.

You might want to be interested in finding out who the biggest troublemakers are, and deposing and/or replacing them with more capable individuals, successors or not. You can also try raising crown authority through several generations up until absolute, but don't expect your vassals to like you shoving a pole up their ass in order to keep them in line.

I have been looking around on how to replace them, but i couldn't find a way. My crown authority is low, could that have something to do with it? The counts that are fighting are not my vassals directly either, but under my good buddy duke.
Also, unrelated. the HRE is being torn apart by a bunch of dukes. I'm scared.

If they're vassal counts you can still take some of the control into your hands by assassinating, bribing, or imprisoning them. You should only become concerned when the count(s) become more powerful than the duke(s), tho.
Also, what kind of a war is being waged in the HRE? It really depends on what is the league/character interest.

I get massive opinion penalties from imprisoning though. I'm also dirt poor and have terrible assassins. I think i can join my duke in the fighting however. I'll just let it play out for now though i think, as i don't need any of their troops anyway.
I can't tell what is going on in the HRE. 3 dukes that were previously a part of the empire have turned it appears. I don't think the HRE will survive this. Nobody has any claims or anything, it just seems like random aggression. Then again, i'm a total noob.

I looked a bit more into it. 2 dukes are fighting for some guy's claim to the empire. The third duke is just fighting tyranny.
[editline]12th November 2012[/editline]
Ah crap. The infighting in my land is getting bad. The douche who hates me is about to become more powerful than my duke. I can't join my vassals in a war against other vassals either, damn. I appear to be out of options here.

Claim to the empire shouldn't be a problem if said person has decent relations with you. However, you might want to do anything to get rid of the count. Once he usurps the duke's title he's going to calm down for a while, then he's either going to declare war on you, or on somebody else, then on you. Check his ambitions and plots if he has any.
I am the goddamn king of Denmark! Why can i not throw this asshole and his entire family out of my land? lol. Can i not straight out battle that guy? Do i really have to wait until he beats my friend and turns on me?

When your entire powerbase relies on people believing in the law and strength of the feudal system, it helps if you don't do your best to erode either. :v:
You CAN do it but you'd gain a reputation for being a massive tyrant

That's also a problem. You only act like a dick to your vassals if you have a good reason to do so.
Woops. I may just have made one of my dukes too powerful. Now there are conspiracies too. Shit is hitting the fan hard.

This reminds me that my Duke of Galicia must have killed at least 20 children during his murderfest campaign all over the empire. His son inherited his duchy, a new duchy, and a couple of counties in Iberia.
What should I do about cascading alliances in EU3? I can't expand anywhere without half the map declaring war on me.
That damn rebel count is starting to piss me off. It's such bullshit i can't revoke his titles because he is not a direct vassal. He has nearly complete immunity against me. And his duke (who hates him ALOT), doesn't do ANYTHNG about him. What the shit?
I tried assassinating him, but it doesn't make a difference, since all his bajillion heirs are all douchebags.

I got an idea.
1. Spread towards Sweden/Norway.
2. Keep expanding.
3. Usurp the title of either both kingdoms, or one of them.
4. Carefully land all duchies except one to your vassals, but make sure none of them are related to the count douche.
5. When the time comes and count douche tries to fuck up your shit abandon throne and run away to Scandinavia.
Congratulations, you have successfully saved your bloodline while keeping a high position of power in a considerably colder place!

Well to continue on with the trials and tribulations of King Jakob II of Hungary...
he was elected to the throne literally just after he declared Transylvania independent. The heretical HRE of Waldensians are fast approaching me, and took back a vassal that I, as Transylvania engulfed. To the North, Poland is getting buttfucked by the HRE, to my East Muslims who have pushed up in and around the black sea want my head on a stake. It appears my only salvation may be swearing fealty to the Byzantines and then leading a revolt against the leader of the Eastern Roman Empire.
My military skill is once again legendary, as well. This is going to be very interesting. I do not know how I'll pull this off.
My wife is plotting to kill a duke. What the christ is she doing. Crazy woman, off to the prison with you.

From my experience it's only men who refuse their marriages once they come of age when they're too high for the throne.
I married a son off to a princess in France to have her end up being Queen.
Though it has to be a betrothal otherwise they wont accept it.
