Giving land away

[Rhyus]

Some how i have inherited a county in the middle of France and i dont want it so is there any way i can give it back to France.

Don't think so. But, you can give it to your vassals if you have violent objections to holding it yourself. Besides, better it be in your realm than others'.

Never tried to do so, but appoint a count and try to transfer vassalage to the French king. Not sure if you can transfer to someone other than a vassal though.

Of course, why would you want to? Lovely start for your conquest of France, or potentially for their war of conquest

 

[Rhyus]

Well i am playing as England and i just want to own all of Great Britain and thats it. But my other goal is to install members of my dynasty to the thrones of as many kingdoms as i can and my dynasty allready owns France so i am not interested in a war with them. I have tried to transfer vassalage but i couldnt do that.

If i make someone count save then load as the count could i then ask to be a vassal of the king of France?

 

[Divi]

Yes, since it's de jure France. Or you could just go on with it, since it will likely end up back in France somehow (especially if French CA is pushed up, which it usually is pretty early). Can you transfer it to its de jure duke?

 

[Rhyus]

I will try and transfer to it's de jure duke hope that works thanks

I'd hold onto it or just give it to a vassal. While their levies will never really be useful to you, their taxes will. Every little bit helps. If France ever fires up a dejure war against you to take it, you could always just instant surrender. Sure you'll lose some prestige but all you'll lose land-wise is that one county you don't really want anyway.

On the flip side, if france fires up a dejure war and you feel confident in your military, you could always duke it out with them...just for the sake of battle. Winning a defensive war can net you some healthy amounts of prestige and gold (from sieging down their provinces.)

The other thing you could do is stick an ambitious ruler in that county. Next time France has an independence revolt, you'd be surprised how effective some ambitious characters are at starting, and winning, their own wars to increase their...and thus your...holdings. (Provided you aren't running absolute crown authority)

Give it to the pope, I like to see how much land the pope can hold, my current game the pope holds almost all of Italy.
