Influence dropping to zero

[ShadowMagnet]

O.K. This is just mega-rude.
The year is 1386, GA campaign, the Polish, started on "high" period.
King Wladyslaw III (55) has max influence (9) after having succesfuly crushed the Russians and Mongol horde plus I have built Jagiellonian University which is one of the goals.
Then the Danes attack my lands in Sweden for no reason - completely outnumbered with lots of RKs (10 units!) against 950 armoured spearmen, halberdiers and arbalesters. Seriously annoing cos they decided they couldn't win and backed off. This innocent joke costs me a fortune in lost trade income. And they absolutely refuse to end this madness not accepting my offer of a ceasefire for 10 years. This seems to me a very artificial and silly way of making the game harder. But hey...

ALL of our mutual allies (pretty much all of mine) broke their alliances with me too.

But on top of that my king's influence dropped to zero.
Does that mean 10 or does that actually mean zero? Is this a display glitch?


Reloaded the game time and again just to make sure and... you guessed it. Happens precisely every time! Even reloading earlier savegames doesn't change anything. Bang on 1386 the Danes invade Sweden no matter what I do just to leave without a fight and every time I lose every alliance we share. Also every time my king seems to lose his max influence.
I just can't get this big idea.
Any opinions?
