The pope or your king must die to recommunicate.

Win battles, gain land. This will increase your king's influence, and raise loyalty.

Release rebels to get +happiness V&Vs. Assign people with high dread & good V&Vs as governors. Strip titles of the bad ones. Build up the provinces to get good V&Vs.

Build border forts, town guard, and religious buildings in troublesome provinces.

Keep provinces garrisoned. Upgrade castles. Lower taxes.

Place agents in the provinces to weed out enemy agents. Convert provinces to your religion.

Keep your ruler at the minimum distance from all provinces. Watch out for cut off sea routes.

Some provinces are more of a pain than others. Keep an eye on the newly conquered & notorious ones. Micromanage to get most out of everything.

Start a new game if all these remedies aren't possible any more. Start on lower difficulty.
