AFAIK there are at least 4 ways to revoke a title without incurring tyranny:
1) send a chancellor to fabricate claims - by far the most convenient way. The problem is you can't send him anywhere within your demesne.
2) grant independence then use de jure claim to declare war. You can't do this if the vassal is within de jure territory and of your religion.
3) spur the vassal to rebel. To do this you need to raise his levies (and wait till his opinion of you is ruined), but I don't see a way to raise them per holding - only per county. You can right-click on his holding, but the Raise Levy icon that pops up is for some rason always grayed out. So then you're causing other vassals in this county to rebel as well which is undesirable.
4) pray for him to create a plot, then pray to uncover it, then pray to fail to imprison him and thus having him rebel. Well, it seems to me there's no guarantee this ever happens throughout the whole gameplay.
Is there some other way? Did I miss something?
