Sheesh this can be frustrating. There is this apparently 1,000 years old English duke who periodically goes to war against the king of England to depose him, gets beaten badly, then waits and starts all over again. That one last county I want in Wales is his vassal. I have at least three times now tried to go to war with him when he is at war with the king to claim that county as my own, but as soon as I get my armies besieging his holdings, he makes peace with the king and then my war ends too, because the bloody king says vassals can't fight with each other.

It's an annoying stalemate. The king AI is too dumb to revoke the titles of that duke, apparently trusting that he won't start the next civil war after the, I don't know, fifth or sixth attempt at the same idiotic goal. The duke, on the other hand, will rather surrender to the king, spoiling his own little war, than make a separate peace with me and lose one county. Gah!!
