History of the western Christianity knows a lot of cases when the war about leadership of the Church took place. Schisms and wars between popes weren't anything extraordinary, and long lasting religious conflicts are constantly inscribed in the image of medieval Europe. Crusader Kings II includes this element of history which is presented in both curious and useful way.
If you're a catholic character and your relations with the pope aren't too well, you can consider appointing the antipope, who is your own candidate for the head of the Church. To do so, you have to fullfill few terms: have a right of free investiture, 500 prestige points to spend and find the priest who'll agree to become an usurper (he has to like you more than the actual pope). Only when you complete all those criterions, you can nominate the antipope (screen above).
The bishop you want to make an antipope needs to be directly affected by free investiture, he needs to like you better than the pope and you yourself need 500 prestige. Never try to reason the prejudice out of a man.
What profits are brought up with the antipope? First of all, he is much more submissive than the actual pope so it's easier to persuade him to the divorce or excommunication. The crucial is fast that after nomination only antipope can exclude your subordinates from the Church, because they're no longer subjects of the real pope. It let you on freely operating with the excommunicate in your domain and protecting it from the legal Church.
Antipope means also problems; legal Father of the Church won't be happy that he has a rival, so he can declare war or even a crusade against the usurper. Another issue is fact that the kingdom with the antipope won't be trusted by the catholic rulers. Luckily, you can solve this problem. You just need to attack the pope and after winning place your antipope in the Rome. In such way you can move back to the Church with very favorable, new holy father.
Despite of possible profits, having an antipope isn't really profitable. Chances of easy divorces and excommunications of vassals won't things for which you can risk a crusade and aversion of all catholic world. That's why it's better to stay pope's sheep than labour over problems.
It often happens that some character dependent on you makes some troubles: is no eager to help you during wars, want to rebel or is to ambitious. One of a way to make him away is to imprison him. If you catch one of your subordinate on plotting or he lose the civil war, you can arrest him without any consequences. In remaining cases you have to take into consideration a strong aversion of vassals. That's why you have to have strong proofs to avoid problems in all country.
Possibility of imprisoned character are very small. Such persons can't make any external politics, what mean no war declaration. It's essential information, because imprisoned vassal can refuse obedience to the sovereign. But it doesn't mean that the presence of the prisoner isn't a problem: he is still a legal owner of his lands. It means, that after his death those estates will be sign over to his descendants, and those for sure won't be happy about the prisoner's lot. The imprisoning also doesn't harm the vote possibility. If you have a election system (House: Succession) the prisoner can vote. It concerns also voting over laws (Laws).

What you can do with the prisoner? You have few possibilities:
* Release from Prison - increasing your opinion about 10. It's rather unprofitable and very risky option: it is not excluded, that the vassal will decide to stand against his liberator. This choice should be made only when you're sure about loyalty of the vassal, so almost never. What is curious, if you're vassals have prisoners, you can ask to release them.
* Execute Imprisoned - killing the prisoner fruits with aversion of all vassals (-10 to opinion) and lose of 20 piety points. It's much better to assassinate the prisoner. It costs 50 gold and is risky, but the work can be done quietly (look at Diplomacy: Assassination).
* Banish Imprisoned - exclude the character from the kingdom totally and simultaneously confiscates all of his titles and money. It's very perceived by all vassals (-40 to opinion) and is connected with the risk that someone clever will give a warm welcome to the exile and decide to fight for him (Military: How to declare a war?) So if you decided to banish your subordinate, you should kill him ASAP. Gathered in such way lands it's best to distribute among enraged vassals.
* Ransom Prisoner - it releases the prisoner if he pays adequate price. It's nice choice in case of powerful characters (moneys!), but risky also: released character for sure will stand against you quickly.
