What happens when my vassal becomes my liege?

[jsnouffer]

This is my first time playing CKII, and I'm currently a Duke in Scotland. I appointed my uncle as Chancellor, then he requested a title, so I made him a baron. An AI faction was created to press his weak claim for the throne of Scotland. I was wondering, if he becomes king, what happens to my barony. Should I revoke the title?

The barony will stay a part of the then-King of Scotland's personal demesne. You may be able to get it back through requesting it, which can happen randomly through an event. You can revoke the title if you really need the barony. Also, it is possible that the future King will give the barony to someone else, in which case you can launch a County Claim war to regain the barony from that vassal, and I don't think the King will then interfere.

He can't interfere directly, but he can rise crown authority to medium and makes you unable to declare war.

The "revoked my title modifier" may stay if you revoke. On the other hand, the "granted a barony" bonus might stay as well if you do nothing, leaving you with a king that likes you. Still, if he wins, his demesne will be small. Just one county plus the barony you've given him. Wouldn't expect a grant. Note that if the new king is from your dynasty, it could be easier to inherit the kingdom. Or you can look up the old king and invite him to your court.

Also, just because your uncle gets put on the throne doesn't mean he will stay there.

but will the new king get the -25 "want county of x" modifier because of this? I'm not sure
