Why does giving people Duchies as a King buff the amount of people you can call up?

Is there some specific reason why two of my vassals and my wife became drunkards within 10 years of my game and what can i do to stop it?
I just read somewhere about changing main titles. Does this mean that if my King is King of say England and Jerusalem I could decide which would be the main title? If so how do you do this?
I think in the Kingdom view (the screen where you can also Usurp titles, and so on), there is a button "Make Primary"
The problem I have is she always gets into lots of wars, mainly with the HRE etc, which is fine, England is plodding along nicely and I can support my wife. The problem is that it seems her "Call To Arms" message only pops up for a split second and then disappears and I get a "Dishonored Alliance" negative in her opinion.
This is hard cause England is so stable at the mo that I usually running along at full game speed. So the message pops up and is gone in an instant.
Is there a way to change this? I remember in EU3 you could tell the game to pause at certain pop ups?
Awesome I know the screen. So is there any considerations I should think about before doing such a thing? Any negatives? Losses etc? Any positives?
So I just married a dude with a claim on a county I want but I don't want to press the claim yet since we are allies. Just wondering if the claim will pass on to my son or if I'll lose it when the father dies. Would like to know before the father dies otherwise I will go ahead and press it while I still have it. Thanks
Go to Options (esc) then Message Settings and set the appropriate message category.
No downside. Since you can choose freely, pick one not in the de jure area of the HRE to avoid any trouble at all. Otherwise pick your favorite color
Hover over the claim in your dudes character page. The tooltip will tell you if the claim is inheritable or not.
Also I notice that sometimes I'm not allowed to join her wars (the option just isn't there in her diplo screen) even though I can see that she is clearly at war and needs my help. To get around this I thought I'd save and load as her, then send a request, but more often than not even she can't call me in from her end, cause it says that I need to refuse a call in five years or something?
Ormond is like this in every game -- there are a number of provinces where the "primary holding" is either a town or a church instead of a castle and thus present problems for holding that province personally (since you are neither a mayor or a bishop).
However, Ormond *can* be in your demesne, so long as you're willing to take the relationship hit for having the wrong type of holding. Many folks wind up holding it personally because they feel that the added income (cities are rich and produce good tax) is worth the negative relationship modifier. As for the heirs being out of your control, I don't think that's a huge deal if you just hand it over to a random vassal, which is usually what I do.
ETA: You might want to do some searches on "primary holding" and "changing primary holding" and see what they come with, I know there's been discussion before on Ormond and similar provinces regarding how to work around it.
