Pressing Claims, Count left my court after becomming duke???

[jecjackal]

So after my "succesful" invasion of Scotland, i noticed i had like 9 weak claims on various parts of England. I decided to land one of my vassals who had such a claim by giving him some scottish county i recently took from someone who blackmailed me. Anyway, after pressing the claim and enforcing demands, he became the kings of englands vassal. I'm the king of Scotland, why would he simply switch rulers?

For clarification, I gave a county but pressed a Ducal Claim. I am a king so i believed that the entire duchy (counties included) would join my kingdom if I won.

That's not supposed to happen. The county you gave him is now a vassal of England too then?

yup. It was my impression that as long as i was higher than the title i was pressing i would remain that guy's liege.

That's how it always works for me: if the claimant is a landed vassal of mine and I press his claim, the target county/duchy will come under my rule (if the target county/duchy/kingdom is one or more level lower than my top level title).

Smells like a bug. Was he still your landed vassal when you accepted the peace offer?

As far as i remember. I'm starting over tonight so i'll try again with a difference set of cirumstances. I'm playing with CK2+ but i didn't see anything that changed claim mechanics in this way.

CK2+ requires that the vassal has a HIGHER title. Vanilla requires that he be a vassal, period. In Vanilla, you can push a baron's claim on a Duchy, and he will remain your vassal. In CK2+, he had to be a King first, and you an Emperor, to gain his duchy.

It's easily editable (I changed it to being equal titles, not higher) in the mod files.
