Head of a reformation means you get to decide the crusade (read, great holy war target) target. So, it's like being the pope, but you actually get to play as him.

It's most similar to playing as the Muslim Caliph, but no decadence to worry about.
Ok thanks.

Just wondering how is the reformed religion head choosen? It seems like the same dynasty is choosen pagan pope?

Only Germanic faith have secular ruler, like Caliph. Whoever reformed Germanic paganism become first Fylkir and this titular duchy level title passes to his heir. Also, looks like if Fylkir becomes unlanded, 'church' title become uncontrolled and can be taken by other Germanic rulers.
Other reformed pagans have theocratic religious heads who are generated at randomly (?) each time old holder dies (pretty much as Patriarchs of Orthodox) - and all titles (not only the reformed 'church', but other land titles too) passes to this new head of religion. He call for Great Holy Wars once per 30 years and you cannot ask him for a specific target (as you can ask Pope) - AI selects target by weights or entirely random if all weighted options controlled by faithful.

Hmm, this is weird. One of my viceroys died, and soon and that happened, 3 counties declared independence from my realm. How is that possible? All of them are on my de-jure empire territory, and I'm way under the vassal limit... I've had a couple of viceroys dying before, and none of them had their vassal counts or dukes declaring independence on their death.

My guess is they were rebelling against him (against your vassal). It happens from time to time under Byzantium - some random independent rulers popup. But I don't know exact behavior

That's annoying...to say the least. Good thing that my retinues were near. Now those uppity counts (of their fleyed corpses, to be exact) are catching flies. That's one of the reasons that makes me like the 'Cruel' trait.

Another issue. I have a vassal bishop that has an opinion of 100 towards me, but so he has with the pope (the pope is my vassal, too). Despite being tied in opinion, the bishop always sends his taxed to the pope. Is there a way to make him send them to me instead?

As far as I'm aware, the secular religious leader always breaks ties in their favor.

So, all counties in my two demesne duchies are mine. All expect one. I want to remove its rulers and add it to my demesne (I have free demesne limit slots).

What is the most efficient way to do that? ;)

With way of life. Spy on them, create a random imprisonment reason out of thin air. Fail the imprisonment, get legal cause to revoke (via war).

Without DLC, you could try just directly trying to revoke the title, though I've forgotten the penalty for doing that without just cause.

-60 with the person you try to revoke, -15 with all others.

You could also send your chancellor to create a claim on it.

The -15 vassal opinion penalty for revoking without justification only lasts for 5 years, so if you're fairly popular with your vassals you can do it and it won't have any significant adverse effects.

For some reason my son has ended up in another leaders dungeon. How do I find out why that happened? I only found out when I read the messages from the tab on the right side of the screen. A pop up would have been helpful! Also, I cant seem to find an option to pay a ransom for his release. Any help would be greatfully received.

2. The zeal factor of the AI, which is driven by traits. By default they'll usually try to join a defensive war if it puts the balance of forces into their favor. Cynical rulers are less likely to join. Zealous rulers almost always join, regardless of the odds.

I'm Kaiser of the HRE. The duke of Tuscany was an advisor on my council. He then manages to snag enough land to crown himself kind of Sardinia and Corsica. This removes him from my council.

Now I can't make him an advisor again or even any other position on the council. This is bothersome as he is my strongest vassal and I'd like to keep him at least semi happy for the troops.

Give it some time. For some reason he probably "fired himself" from the council. The modifier should go away after a few months. Changing tier of character tends to change the council.

1) Are there any negative consequences if kingdom tier ruler under primogeniture usurps second kingdom title?

There may or may not be negative consequences. Beyond the aforementioned opinion malus (which I'm not sure exists in kingdoms, it may only apply to empires) each kingdom is inherited separately according to it's own succession laws. The usurped kingdom might have gavelkind succession for example, which could split your lands. It's best to usurp second kingdoms (and second empires) with a fairly young ruler who will be able to live long enough to change succession laws.
