wrong religious independence faction from peasants of vassals

[fair lynx]

I am Currently playing an Asatru Ruler (king) in Bohemia (start date 1066) as vassal of the HRE.
I have religious rights protected in my vassal contract with my liege the emperor.

4 converted counties, owned by my vassals are doing an Asatru populist uprising independence faction against my liege the emperor (my liege, not against me). The converted county owned directly by me is not part of the faction.

So probably the game is checking maybe if the direct ruler of the county has religious protection in his vassal contract, but not if somebody else between the direct county owner and the top liege (me) has religious rights in his vassal contract.

This contract dont save you against populist upraisings

[fair lynx]

why? the county and their direct ruler have the same faith? What reason should the peasants have to revolt? And there is no ruler aboth them, who would be able to do something like convert county (because of religious rights) or Do I mess something?

Populist factions not only about faith, they also about culture. Or did you have the same culture than the counties?

culture acceptance can aqlso prevent you from getting factions if its high

Also the factions can also happen, if your top liege is pretty hard in depth, was in the past a think, dont know if its still in the game

in this case its about faith and its against the top liege, not against the direct ruler as normaly.
And the counties listed here are from very different cultures. including cultures out of the dejure HRE.
Like Paderborn or a county in Bohemia. And the direct ruler of that county in Bohemia at least has the same faith and also the same culture as the county itself.

the factions often named as Orthodox upraising as example, but can also be because of culture or mixed because of booth. They spawn if the opinion of a countie to the top liege is negative. Do you have a savegame? Than i can take a look about this and maybe can say more about that.

Do you use Mods? They can also cause problems sometimes because they overwrite vanilla files sometimes and change the game or add bugs

just a small self written mod to give me an additional trait for deduced stress gain, reduced legitimacy loss, ...
nothing that interacts with stuff we see here.
