I'm King of England. There's a bishop in my realm, who holds a single Cathedral barony and is vassal of one of my Earls. He's not in my dynasty.
This bishop has a claim on the Duchy of Lothian, in Scotland. I'm not king of Scotland and have no de jure claim over that duchy. What happens if I press it on his behalf?
1. The tooltip suggests I will not receive the Duchy of Lothian, because I don't have a de jure claim over it and he's not in my dynasty. But he is already my vassal (or vassal-of-vassal, technically). So what happens - if he becomes Duke will he be my vassal, or the king of Scotland's vassal?
2. He's currently a bishop. If he gains the duchy, will that automatically convert it into a Prince-Archbishopric, or will he instead become a secular ruler?

1. I think he should become your vassal as he is your vassals vassal. Not totally sure but by logic he should.
2. He become Prince-Archbishop as his only holding will be a temple.
If he is already your vassal, he will stay your vassal, unless the title he gains is of the same rank or higher of yours.
No... you can...
I'll assume you aren't making some mistake (i.e. your character is in prison or already has two wards or some such) and assume it might be a bug:
There have been a few bugs in recent patches related to this, so depending on what version (or beta version) you are playing, you could be seeing one of those. The most common I recall was that if you were a councilor for your liege and were in his court, you would be unable to assign yourself as guardian. The easy fix was to resign your position, assign yourself, and then let yourself be reappointed later.
You don't have to resign you just have to chose your liege, chose the educate option and then chose the child from your court and find yourself in the lieges court members. Then just wait the few days it take the liege to agree and voila you are tutoring the kid.
Any reason why this happened? I conquered Galicia and made a vassal merchant republic there. My son has been the heir to a capital republic city ever since and is being completely ignored in my royal succession.
Can someone explain how Legalism works? Even when I've got ranks in the technology, the amount of holdings I can safely hold seems to fluctuate. At one point I could hold 5, but that seemed to drop to 3 with the same leader, and without Stewardship dropping either.
patiently waiting...
(Your stewardship + spouse stewartship/2)*0.15
Emperor 4, king 3 and lower titles 1. In addition, a Duke in control of multiple duchies will get the "Great Duke" bonus, increasing his demesne limit by 1
If your ruler has the Gavelkind Succession Law, the demesne limit will be increased by 30% Reasearching "legalism" technology will further raise the limit by 1 for each level, though this will increase slowly and over centuries.
Does High Crown Authority prevents vassal kings within an empire from inheriting titles under other kingdoms, within the same empire?
Say I'm Emperor of Britannia & King of England; both titles on High CA. The King of Frisia is a vassal, also on High CA; he holds all de jure Frisia but nothing else. Frisia has not de jure drifted under Britannia. Does that means that the vassal King of Frisia cannot inherit titles (himself or his vassals) within de jure England (and vice-versa)?
And what about if/when Frisia drifts into de jure Britannia? Does it change anything?

If you declare war on someone, who calls in his ally, can you make a seperate peace with said ally, or does only the original CB count?
Nope, the war ends when the primary defender and primary attacker come to an agreement. (Win/Truce/Lose)
I've wrapping my head around tactics, and I think I've got a good formation. Please critique.

Heavy Infantry, Archers, Horse Archery

So I've invited a title claimant to my court (Good traits, generally positive opinion, 10/10 would vassal) but I notice I can't actually press his claim. I was hoping to use this guy as a intermediary to avoid having to wait for claims to be fabricated. If something...amiss...should happen to the Gluttonous, Craven Kinslayer that presently holds the title (294% Plot Possibility...woof), would I then be able to press my latest courtier's claim?
Hover your mouse over his claim on his character screen. It will most likely state that its a weak claim that can be only pressed if the current holder is under a regency, current ruler is a female and the claimant is a male, the title that the claim is for is already contested in another war or the character in question is second or third in line to inherite. So if you manage to arrange one of those four options to happen you can press the claim.
