The only trouble is this business of Papal remergences coming with HUGE armies, to take back what's theirs...
Received wisdom is that you leave their territories until last. Two successful battles launched simulatneously and, when the seiges are over and done with, you've achieved the win conditions for the game, so there won't be any opportunity for re-emergences.
You still have a point about the 'kill prisoners' button not acting as expected and perhaps, as you suggested, faction leaders cannot be dealt with in this way. I would actually thank the game designers greatly for preventing me from acting in haste and inadvertently killing off a leader who could have gained me oodles of cash in ransom money...
