The feudal system from both the Middle Ages and Crusader Kings III revolves around vassals, characters who are granted by a liege lower-ranked titles to more easily manage the realm in exchange for a cut of their taxes and levies. Each vassal can be a liege towards its own set of vassals, as long as lower title ranks exist. Every character can have at most one liege.

The amount of taxes and  levies granted by a vassal to their liege depends on their government type:

  • Feudal vassals provide taxes and levies based on their individual feudal contracts.
  • Tribal vassals provide taxes and levies based on the liege's level of fame, with minimum amounts determined by tribal authority.
  • Clan vassals provide taxes and levies based on their opinion towards their liege, with minimum amounts determined by crown authority.
  • Theocracies provide taxes and levies based on the liege's level of devotion.
  • Republic vassals always provide 20% taxes and 10% levies to their liege.
  • Rulers whose faith has the Theocratic doctrine lease their temple holdings to a Realm Priest, providing increased taxes and levies with higher opinion.

Vassal Limit

The vassal limit is the number of direct vassals (excluding Barons) a ruler can have without penalties. It is primarily based on the rank of the ruler's primary title and can be increased by title laws and traits.[1]

Condition Vassal limit
Yes Is Duke +20
Yes Is King +40
Yes Is Emperor +60
Yes Has title law Princely Elective +20
Yes Has trait Trait greatest of khans.png Greatest of Khans +20

A character can avoid going over the vassal limit by creating duke vassals and transferring count vassals to them through the grant vassal interaction. A character's vassal limit can be seen by opening the Realm menu (key: F2) towards the bottom-right.

Powerful Vassals

In each realm, vassals with the highest tax income and number of  levies are designated as powerful vassals, who expect to be part of the liege's council and will have -40  opinion of their liege if they're not. The number of powerful vassals a liege will have depends on the rank of their primary title:

Rank Powerful vassals
Count 3
Duke 4
King 5
Emperor 5

In elective succession types, powerful vassals have more votes than regular vassals. They're also much harder to use the sway scheme on. In order for the succession law of a realm to be changed, all powerful vassals must either have positive  opinion of the liege, be Terrified.png terrified or be imprisoned.

Factions

Factions are organized groups that are united against their liege for a common purpose. As long as their issue isn't resolved they will keep growing until they will be large enough to deliver an ultimatum to the liege.

All factions (with the exception of the peasant rabble) have two important values: military power and discontent.

  • Military power is the ratio between the combined military strength of all faction members and the military strength of the liege. When the ratio is above 80%, the Faction will gain discontent; when it is below the threshold, the faction will lose discontent.
  • Discontent is a measure of how close the faction is to sending their ultimatum.

A faction will deliver its ultimatum shortly after discontent reaches 100%. It can also send the ultimatum early if the liege unjustly imprisons someone. If the ultimatum is accepted, the liege will gain -20 dread. If it is refused, it will start a civil war.

There are 5 types of factions:

Type Ultimatum Military power Members Requires military power for discontent
Independence faction.png Independence
  • All faction members become independent
  • Liege loses 150 prestige
Members' armies  Vassals Yes
Claimant faction.png Claimant
  • Claimant gains the claimed title
  • Every faction member gains a weak hook on the claimant
Members' armies  Vassals Yes
Liberty faction.png Liberty
  • Liege lowers crown authority
  • Liege loses 200  prestige
Members' armies  Vassals Yes
Populist faction.png Populists
  • All faction members form an independent realm
  • Liege loses a level of fame
25% to 50% of each county's  levies Counties Yes
Peasant faction.png Peasant rabble
  • All faction members get -75 control ( -25 if the faction goes to war)
  • All faction members get -50%  control growth and +30 popular opinion for 10 years
50% to 100% of each county's  levies Counties No

Vassals cannot join a faction against a liege if:

Civil Wars

If a faction's ultimatum is refused, it will start a civil war. During a civil war, faction members stop providing taxes and levies to the liege and their liege loses access to certain powers such as imprisonment. All faction members will turn hostile to both the liege and all vassals that did not join the faction, though they will focus on fighting the liege.

  • If the civil war ends in white peace, the liege will gain an imprisonment reason against all faction members.
  • If the civil war is won by the vassals, they will enforce the faction's ultimatum.
  • If the civil war is won by the liege, all faction members are imprisoned and the liege gains +20  dread. If the faction was caused by popular opinion, each rebelling county will gain +20 popular opinion for 10 years.

Leased Holdings

When a ruler's religion has the Theocratic Doctrine, temples are leased to a realm priest. The realm priest provides their liege with taxes and levies based on their opinion. The minimum is at 0 opinion, where no taxes or levies are provided, and the maximum is at 50 opinion, where 50% of the taxes and 100% of the levies are provided.

For vassals of the same religion, a vassal's income from their realm priest's church holdings are not directly taxed by their liege. The vassal's realm priest provides their liege's realm priest with 25% of their temples' taxes, and 15% of their temples' levies. This vassal realm priest contribution is provided by the liege realm priest to the liege at the same rate as directly leased holdings. Vassals of different religions are skipped in the hierarchy of lease payments.

Example:

You are a duke with one county within your domain. That county has a temple with a tax of 1 gold and a levy of 300. At 50 opinion with your realm priest, he will provide you with 0.5 gold in taxes and 300 levy.

You also have a vassal count who has one county with one temple as well. That temple has the same tax of 1 gold and levy of 300. Your vassal's realm priest provides your realm priest with 0.25 gold and 45 levy, before he splits the rest with the count based on his opinion of the count. Then, your realm priest splits this contribution with you, for a final .125 gold and 45 levy from your vassal's temple. The count will receive a maximum of .375 gold (50% of the remaining .75 gold), and 255 levy (100% of the remaining 255) from their realm priest at 50+ opinion.
