Destroying Realms

If a realm is completely destroyed, any claims it holds will disappear *after
some time*. At the disappearance of the claims, morale inside the region
will fall and independence will increase considerably. It is much better to
resolve a claim than to destroy a realm, but once a realm has been
destroyed, it is very difficult to resolve any claims, so they disappear -
sooner or later. The precise time can vary greatly.

Its true that holding court fixes independence very quickly, but your
assuming only a few claims, theres no way to know when a claim will
disappear, you need to have a lord appointed in order to hold court that can
be difficult when its at some obscure corner of the realm.
