Have claim, cant delcare war

[Sunsanvil]

My chancellor fabricated a claim which shows up in my claims list. If I right click on the owner, declare war is greyed out, but if I mouse over it I see that all the requirements are met (all green).

Where else can I look for why war is greyed out?

Thanks

Do you have a screenshot of that? Can be a number of reasons.

Is he an independant ruler? I don't know if it is shown in the tooltip.
Try to declare war to his top liege.

Are you adult or do you have a regent?

 

[Minchandre]

If you have Conclave, the council might be not allowing it

 

[ArzhurG]

If you are both vassals of the same realm the crown laws may not allow wars between the two of you.

He can still declare war but he will be overruling the will of the council incurring significance opinion penalties.

Thanks everyone. I will post a screen shot tonight when I get home just to double check but I think a couple of you touched on it in that I'm trying to war dec on a fellow vassal of the king of England...I just wish that reason was display along all the others listed.

Followup question: how can vassals fight each other? I see it happening between fellow vassals under the king so there must be some little detail I'm missing.

You should be able to declare normally unless the king has recently enforced realm peace, or, if you don't have Conclave, there's sufficiently high crown authority

Vassals can only declare war on their liege or fellow vassals of that same liege lord. You might be trying do go to war with a vassal's vassal.

 

[Sunsanvil]

A couple of examples...

 

[brifbates]

If you are a vassal then you could also be blocked by a non-aggression pact between your liege (or theirs) and your target. Also, if he is a tributary of your liege you can't attack him.


Looking at the screenshots... Since you are feudal you are considered as being allied with your liege in his war as are your targets. You can't dow someone if you are allied in a war.

LOL... This question has like 50 different answers depending on the situation.

Crown law may not allow wars
Truce issues not allowing hostile actions
Not declaring war on the correct actual liege
Council issues
You have a marriage/betrothal with that family

You might also look into usurping
