You can revoke if they are a traitor. Easiest way is to fail imprisoning them. Use the intrigue focus to spy on them until you get a valid reason to imprison.

I had a couple really nice concubines, and then my character died. Now I cannot find them. They are nowhere in my court, and searching for their names in the character finder does not turn them up. I know for a fact that it is not the case that concubines disappear when their man dies, as I have previously used concubinage as a way to, erm, "reserve" particularly good women for future heirs. Also, there's a third concubine that I have found and re-concubined to the new character, but the other two are nowhere to be found, even if I turn off all filters on the character finder.
I don't understand. How did two young genius concubines simply vanish into thin air?
EDIT: At first I thought that maybe there's a rule stating that concubines who didn't have children would vanish upon their man's death (even though that would be silly), but I checked and the concubine that did not vanish also did not have children. All of the concubines were added relatively soon before the character's death, although I think the two that vanished came slightly after, if it matters. The only thing I could think of being relevant is that the two that vanished were both lowborns, but I highly doubt that the game would have just disappeared them instantly because of that. I know there's a function that takes irrelevant characters out of the game when courts grow too large, but that's not supposed to happen instantaneously.

Upon a rulers death some of the courtiers will disappear. This is done to keep the game from having to keep track of too many characters.

... And it JUST HAPPENED to select two very important people rather than the wide variety of useless layabouts in the court? That can't possibly be right.
EDIT: It's not even random... I tried reloading and the exact same thing happened. It's like it's prioritizing these extremely valuable people simply because they're lowborns.

That's because it is. Courtiers from a dynasty will not be deleted.

So, um, I had tried marking them as important people in the hopes that the game wouldn't murder them for being too "unimportant" to keep track of, and they died anyway, and apparently after such a character has been dead for long enough the game deletes the fact that they ever existed, so now there's two blank spots on the my sidebar showing the characters that I marked as important. Is there any way I can remove these?
Also, this is a really bad mechanic. I get the idea behind it, but there should be some way to mark a character as important enough to not be culled. Losing those two concubines was a significant blow, and I've read other stories about people losing good commanders from this "feature."

Why did my character as an independent duke receive 24% infamy for inheriting titles from his father who was the Emperor of Byzantium (i.e - my old character)?
What does the option to ask my chancellor for help distributing titles do, especially if my chancellor is not of my culture? Because I'm about to get the Kingdom of Andalusia by Crusade as Emperor of Alba and I want all Irish vassals and sub-vassals (which I certainly have enough people to do myself but it'll take a while). I ask about culture because my chancellor I think is an Anglo-Saxon, and I also don't want to risk losing my assigned demesne counties in Scotland.
Never, ever ask your chancellor for help in distributing titles. The AI will inevitably make bad decisions with regards to title distribution - always do it yourself.

What I figured. This way each new duchy has at least one guy high in one stat under his command.
I've recently read in CK wiki the following thing:
a) They won't call crusades on a specific kingdoms that don't have weight. For example, no weight for Kingdom of Poland = no crusades for Poland except by request. Or
b) They won't call crusades at all if there aren't any weights at all.
And a follow up question: do heresies inherit parent religion crusade weights like they do holy sites?
For example Fraticelli. They don't have weights defined in landed_titles. Do they use catholic weights ar does their Pope not call crusades at all as a result?
Does that mean that:
a) They won't call crusades on a specific kingdoms that don't have weight. For example, no weight for Kingdom of Poland = no crusades for Poland except by request. Or
b) They won't call crusades at all if there aren't any weights at all.

Quick search in the wiki should answer your question =)

edit: hmm you quoted the exact phrase, so you already read that.
So yes it is as it says. No weight no Crusade called on that title ever. But AI still does Holy wars for those titles.
And what about my second question? Do heresies use parent religions weights?
Has anyone figured out what determines whether a plot to revoke a particular county is or isn't available?
I usually have some of these plots available while others are greyed out but no difference whatsoever in tooltips (all the asterisks are green...).
Obviously, the ones I'm actually interested in tend to be greyed out.

Off the top of my head, the two main criteria are that A) the county must be outside the de jure borders of the vassal's title(s) (e.g. holding title of Earl of Leicester as Duke of East Anglia), and B) the vassal cannot have a non-aggression pact with you. The title also has to be personally held by the vassal.
Although I'm not sure A always applies: I was able to use the plot to revoke a county inside one of my own held duchies, controlled by a guy with only the county title.

You can find exact criteria in wiki: http://www.ckiiwiki.com/Plot They are shown in "Gain vassal title" row.

Something very weird happened. My son demanded a title, so I granted him one. Turns out, no matter which title I give him, he always ends up becoming a prince-bishop, and therefore gets disinherited. I don't understand what the reason is. Even when granting him a whole duchy, he becomes a bishop and *his* government type is Theocracy. Can somebody shine a light on that?
Sounds like a bug, but check to make sure you didn't accidentally assign him as successor to a bishopric (if you have Free Investiture).
What it means is option B. However, that does not seem to be true because there have been many reports of Catholic crusades against a kingdom in India and I've even experienced one myself. So apparently what really happens is that once all weighted targets have been taken the religious head will call great holy wars entirely at random.
I agree with StarSword, this sounds like a bug. I know there is a bug where unlanded feudal characters become mayors upon gaining a title so this may be related.
Not to answer your question, but I had a strange experience with plotting yesterday.
Trying to off my wife, auto-invited then opened the potential plotters screen, found about half a dozen with their grubby little hands out.
Greased all the palms, they all turned to green thumbs up, but not a single one ever appeared on the plotter screen.
Lasted like that for years at 70%, just me and one co-conspirator with probably twelve people with green thumbs in the potential plotter screen.
I tried cancelling and restarting, stopping auto-invite then restarting etc.
Weird.
