There's quite a few ways.
You can ask to buy land from a patron, usually works best with people who have lots land.
There's the 'champion of x' decision that lets you usurp land from someone of non-culture.
Lords will sometimes offer you land if you're hostile to them in a conflict due.
You can scheme for a title apparently, and vassals will join/leave depending on how they like you

There's also the normal conquest stuff, which lets you attack someone in a realm adjacent to where you're located for a county-empire [what you're able to declare for is dependent on prestige, and maybe some other stuff].
You can also ask a patron lord to help you invade another country, and you'll become their vassal.

I think my favorite thing has been doing the "help with control" missions where you go around intimidating the peasants. But you can be like "from my point of view, the nobility are evil", and become a peasant lord.

Anyways, that's just the stuff I know about. I haven't played with much of the ways to play landless, like gallowbait, or the historical people who have their own questline stuff.

I got offered land by a non-hostile king. A bug maybe?

Not a bug, just a friendly king that needs knights :)

I like supporting peasant revolts
