Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
I guess there is an error in the logic behind "Faction to install X to Title Y", so that if a player inherits a title that a faction was already trying to install them into, they keep trying to do it.

See screenshots for illustration.

A faction of vassals is rising up roughly every 6 months to support a pretender to the Title of "High King of Ireland". The problem is that the pretender is my character, the High King of Ireland.

The Faction was created when my current character was just the Heir to the throne. When his father (my previous character) died, he became High King of Ireland but the Faction never went away. Not only that but the Faction gets more Discontented each month, so it never goes away.

Screenshot 1 - Factions view showing that the "Faction to Install High King Donnucan of Ireland on the Irish Throne" is at 135% Discontent. Also displays an update from 1 Apr called "Enemy Allies Join War" which indicates that the Faction indeed rose up after their Ultimatum

Screenshot 2 - shows Invalidated message that displays 1 day after the War began (note dates of clash, 14 Dec 1144 - 15 Dec 1144). Also see another "Enemy Allies Join War" message, this time from 14 Dec

Screenshot 3 - shows the Claimant Demand preceding the next War from the "Faction to Install High King Donnucan of Ireland on the Irish Throne" = also shows the message "This is you" displayed when you mouse-over the name of High King Donnucan of Ireland.

The problems here are three-fold:

1) if I accept the claim it costs me 20 Dread (and I'm running an Intrigue/Intimidation character here).

2) if I refuse the claim, I go to War for a day, which periodically triggers events about starving villages that can often have a zero-sum outcome involved.

3) it goes on forever, so it's simply very annoying, after sinking 20 hours into my first game.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Play a King (Character A) and have his Heir (Character B) become the Claimant of a Faction that wants to install a Pretender into the Character A's Title.

Have the Character A die and the Heir/Claimant/Pretender (Character B) move into the King's Title.

Watch how the Faction doesn't become Invalid, only each War/Rebellion becomes Invalid. They will forever want to install Character B to the throne even though he has it already

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
No, all covered above.

I have attached a save game
Yes
