Whiteside looked like he was on some bad drugs . <| sep |> You ' d have to move your capital . You could also try using the 2 nd case if they have an extra county . It ' s risky to give them another county to force the issue , but I ' ve done that before . As in , suppose you give it to them , then they die and due to gavelkind now both counties are held by different people . What you could try is giving the count a county in your primary duchy . He now has 2 , which has a revoke reason , and one of those is in your primary duchy , which also has a revoke reason . Revoke of one of those , go to war preferred , so he is a traitor , and use that to revoke the other county as well . Now , even if he dies before you finish , you can still at least get your 2 nd county back .
