kings suing for peace with count after a king+duke vs count war

[Spruce]

ok, the set up =

I'm king of France and the Duke of Auvergne has his vassal - count of Blois (or was it count of Bourbon) rebelled. I joined the war against that vassal and my duke conquered the province.

OK, I have a claim on that county and I try to get a peace out of it - so taking the county back and then give it back to the duke of Auvergne,

problem is that the count is saying no the whole time to me. I think then = ok for me, it's the Duke that conquered the land. But the duke doesn't seem to succeed in making peace,

after half a year, still the peace treaty isn't signed.

I'm 100% the county had no other territory or other troops sieging whatever...

Then I go for white peace and eventually after another half year the duchy of Auvergne can sign a peace where the title goes back to the duke.

It doesn't seem normal that dukes can't take the land back after they've won the war - perhaps it could be a great issue for the AI kings/dukes and his wars against counts,

others can confirm this?

I have had the same situation. And I also noticed that the duke only made peace, after I (the king) had made peace. It took some time, but the AI seems to be much slower in those cases. I think it is correct, that the count refuses your peace-proposal, because you don't have conquered the province.

nice to see it confirmed,

the major concern I have is that the AI can get jammed at this situation. Both AI's can have a claim on that county and still there won't be peace,

True. But in these kind of situations, I normally support the duke and try to destroy the army of the count, before I make peace. That seems to be enough to get the situation back to normal.

well it wasn't the case with me - that count had no army - no siege - nothing. I've seen it twice with the duchy of Auvergne,
