Becoming a Vassal?

What exactly is/are the benefits of making a faction become a vassal to you?

I made the HRE do it in my last campaign, but I didnt realy understand what it did.

Any thoughts?

Well u give up, tho the AI often demands it while u are still very powerful. basicly it means that u give up and become a lesser part of your "protecter's" empire having to give money to them and receive protection in return, which honestly never happens.

Oh so there are no benefits that everyone else is getting except me then.... I always end up losing provinces my overlords if i become a vassal and you lose all your money.

It's not really half their income, it's more like an amount of their income if their money gets higher than x amount, I heard it was 15000 florins. In my Stainless Steel campaign, I had Ireland vassaled by me. I got about 100,000 florins afterwards since they had too much money. So it might be nice to vassal some nation, get their extra money, and then backstab them cold-heartedly.
