Got my first protectorate the other evening as I tend to just conquer them all usually but I worked out that protectorates add to the total number of provinces for campaign win :S
They wanted 3 provinces returned and 18,000 Denarii. Instead of giving them back provinces they accepted 30,000 Denarii. Haven't seen this mentioned in particular before so thought I'd post about it.
They will accept more Denarii in lieu of returning their provinces :)
Unfortunately I didn't examine who they were allied to and it was an enemy that attacked me a few turns later. So I lost the protectorate. Possibly another thing to look at before handing over your riches.
There should be a way to look at alliances whilst in diplomacy window.
And as for the income received from protectorates where is it actually stated in the game? Or do you have to demand tribute from them with the protectorate demand in diplomacy or after? for that to occur?
