The problem with going for independence from a duke in the kingdom is that the king tends to transfer you back the moment you get it. Therefore it's always better to simply claim the duchy if you have the power to fight your liege.
You even said it yourself. If you waited for your liege to die and ask his son, a less diplomatic guy, he would probably give you the title. Edit: Only saw later that since you showed your hand and asked for the title he then fucked you up by granting the title to someone that didn't directly ask him. Damn I love this game!
@Arumba That "controlled marriage" flag on your kids is BUGGED. In my last game (no JD, but latest patch) I wanted to make my dynasty merchant republic. I had a good son and three underaged grandsons with flags on. I made him a Doge and passed away. My second son (now Emperor) had not the flag (his cousins), but the marriage was still under control of a passed Emperor spirit. The cousins didn't marry, the Doge spent the rest of his life in seclusion and hiding and everybody died out. The end. Hamlet, Shakespeare.
The other time I made bethrothals for my three sons with cute genious girls and landed them after a holy war, because the flag was there. The flag wasn't touched, but the bethrosals were broken and I couldn't renew it, because every teen body was on a different (then mine) court.
The Ai tend to not make use of betrothals if your prestige has decreased since they originally entered the betrothal. So keep a look on your prestige and only spend it on something AFTER the betrothed couple has married.

If you hate him, maybe pick the WAR focus, and duel the guy. Duels are Norse culture
The king's playing you. He wants internal trouble in his kingdom so that you don't amass money or grow big enough to endanger you.
Since he is In Hiding his diplo will be lower. Try fabricating again. Looks like he controls the area of two duchies so it would be a great snag.
Arumba could start a merchant republic using all that salt he's feeling towards the King.
If yes then he must colonize america and start mining the great salt lake, or someone needs to be more annoying :D
Filip Šleis The crusades to conquer the holy land were secretly to get all the salt out of the Black Sea.
Ivan Clark 𝐠𝐚𝐬𝐩, I'm not gonna tell anybody this secret, ok?
He didn't give you your... Tjust.. reward.. 😂
20:47 When the King supports your claim to the Jarldom but doesn't give it to you in the first place
His finger slipped while granting the Jarldom. He is trying to make up for his mistake
He got the duchy because he had a claim to it.

It could be less well described. “An Axe made at the behest of the one who requested it by the person who made it.
i wonder if he knows who ragnar lodbrok was...

I have a problem all the time with betrothals never resulting in marriages. I don't know why it's such a problem.
