Vassalize independent baronies?

[Ithvan]

As Brittannia, I was completing the Reconquista on my own when France decided to grab some land for itself.

France won two Holy Wars (for the duchies of Murcia and Valencia). I invited claimants to the duchies and conquered them without too much of a fight.

However, in one of the counties in the duchy of Murcia, there is an independent Ibadi wilaya. I can't vassalize him(false religion and all that) and I can't declare war on him.

Is this supposed to happen?
How do I fix this?
Can I fix this?

If you usurp the ducal/county title or let your vassal do it.. I guess maybe he can't because the land is suffering from culture/religious shock?

You can declare war on him as long as you own the county. You probably need to click on his liege to declare war on that guy.

No, the muslim baron is independent. He has no liege, but I can't declare war on him. Apparently I don't have a casus belli.

Odd. With the same situation I just have the 'county claim' casus belli.

maybe just that guy is bugged. assassinate him imo and see if you can declare war on his successor.

Same, I had the same happen and I have county claim CB's each time. That's a bug.

Yeah, sounds bugged. Up a save? Easier to see that way.

Have you tried getting a CLAIM on the County?

PS: I sure am glad I now know how to proberly not-age. I was gonna go Bathory style, but this seems like less hassle. Thank you EVER SO MUCH Mr. ajxvirsnxl!!
