Yes, you may give away your demesne (excluding capital) provinces for money, prestige, promise of military support, as a dowry, and as a gift.

There is however one minor detail: your heir, who would normally get this provinces after you, will still hold CB on this lands...

I can see it: you have a neighbour you want "gone", but don't know how.

You "cement your friendship" by giving him a province.

Your heir has a reason to go to war and reclaim his "heirloom" (plus some more insignificant provinces which should belong to your house, anyways.

Should hurt prestige massively, though.

How often exactly did such events occur on a larger scale during the game's time period?

I remember such a feature was dismissed for EU2 because it happened so scarcely that it was better handled by events.

Denmark is a good example: All of the land was "pawned" to german princes as a mean to wage war and suddenly all of the land was gone! the the princes set up a danish king just a man to work as excecutor of the land. This king (Valdemar) bought back a lot of the land and claimed some trough wars. His daugther Magrete continiued this line and eventually assembled the nordic countries of Denmark, Sweden and Norway in the Union of Kalmar.
