1. Raise taxes to max and dismiss all peasant garrisons.

2. Get your king stuck on his Ireland resort and cut his links from the mainland.

3. Lose multiple big battles and provinces to go along with that.

4. Strip all your general's titles.

5. (Catholic only) Have a chapter house (along with as many crusade markers as possible) lost/destroyed.

6. (Catholic only) Get excom.

ie have your ruler's influence go on a free fall trip down to zero.
