Alliances offered, can't accept

[Aquitaine]

Playing as the Duke of Flanders in 1.03, I would get alliance offers from valid, Independent lords, but I can't accept them, since I'm the vassal of the King of France. So I click on 'accept' and nothing happens (this is good) ... but I shouldn't be getting the offers at all, right?

I noticed the same, when I click on to accept the alliance, nothing happens.

The problem is that your loyalty is too high to make alliances. This means that if you want to make an alliance you can't. Other people, however will still offer you alliances even though your loyalty is too high.

The net result is you get offered alliances that disappear immediately because of your high loyalty. Obviously it should only be possible to offer alliances is if both parties have low enough loyalty.
