Press de jure ducal claim. Good, what next ?
Sorry, probably a very newbie dumb question but I'm lost ..

I received this message "You can Press de jure ducal claim". I clicked on it and it highlighted a province I can claim. But no idea how to do it ?? What should I do now to claim the title?
I appreciate help and explanations (couldn't find it clearly explained in the wiki...)

You don't just get to "Take" it, its just the game telling you that this land is in your de jure territory and you can declare war on its owner to take it by force with a de jure claim cassus belli.

Ah OK ! Thanks.
But I can't declare war, so what's the point ?

One more question: The claim on Marmaris doesn't appear under "claims" in my character screen...

Sure, you can declare war. But you can't declare war on him--you can declare war on his Liege. You cannot declare war on the vassal of someone--it'd kinda defeat the point of the feudal contract, since the Liege is supposed to be protector and everything. So you can press that claim. But you'd be going to war with the whole of Avaria to do it.

As for your second question, it's not a personal claim. Your character does not have a claim on that county personally--he has a claim on it because he is the Duke of the De Jure territory it is supposed to be a part of. Think of the Duchy as an entity separate to your character--it is the duchy that has a claim on that land, as that land is supposed to be a part of it.

Ah cool ! Very clear. Thank you !
Regarding declaring war, his liege's liege is also mine (I'm same level as his liege). So if I declare war to his liege, his liege's liege (which is also mine) will be in the position where he will have to chose between his liege and I. Or will he always protect the defender ? What criteria will make our liege to take party between us ?

Your liege will not care if you're fighting this other guy, who is also his vassal. The top liege cannot join either your side or the other guy's.

Your common liege can tell the two of you to cut it out, but he won't get involved. I assume AI lords know how to use Realm Peace if they want?

They do. They have done it to me before.
