Tell that to Ireland under Henry II and Wales under Edward I.

If you want to discourage takeovers and promote ends to wars, make 
individual takeovers harder but eliminate claims afterwards.  After all, 
a brutal takeover is literally killing everyone who doesn't swear 
fealty, so afterwards there's nobody /left/ to object to you appointing 
a new lord.

If it took ~ 2 weeks and a full military occupation to conduct a hostile 
takeover of even a minor region, then realms at war will seriously think 
about quitting while they're ahead.  This is doubly true if friendly 
takeovers (recapture, really) are much faster, comparatively.  A 
"winning" realm will make further gains slowly, but can lose much of 
what it has already won.
