Sieging a holding that is occupied by your enemy.

I noticed this on my recent game. When you siege a province of your enemy that is occupied by your other enemy and finish the siege the holding reverts back to the owner. In these cases you have to siege the holding twice even if you should get it after the first siege as the owner still is your enemy.

Do you mean it's sort of a thug-of-war scenario where we have the owner in the middle?

EDIT: I see now that I wrote "thug" instead of "tug". Now, that would've been an interesting sight..

Well yes. Here's what happened. Pope had called a crusade to free sardinia. I as south Italian duke went to war and called all my allies that were mostly fellow vassals to the war. Several of them agreed to help me. The enemy hold half of Sardinia and Corsica. I landed with my army on the Sardinia and my allies went to take Corsica. Then during the war one of these vassal allies declared war against our liege Queen of Sicily. His army was doing the siege on Corsica. As there was another fellow vassals army with him they immidiatly started to battle eachother as he was a rebel. I finished my sieges on Sardinia and then proceeded to Corsica as the rebelling vassal won the battle there and I needed it to win the war. So I went there and destroyed his army. Now as he was the ally who sieged the Corsica holdings there was some that he controlled and some still in the hands of the muslims. I noticed that I started to siege the main holding that was controlled by the rebellious vassal. When I managed to win the siege the castle surprisingly was given back to the muslims and I had to siege it again to get it occupied.

That sounds quite wrong, thinking logically, the Muslims shouldn't appear in the city out of nowhere, even less take control of it.

I will look into it.
