vassals

So as i understand vassal totaly depends on someone else also he is kind of a province for the one who controls vassal..In the game i found that vassal is nothing more then vassal i cant even demend to them to attack my enemies without giving them a nice sum of cash(sometimes even this not helps) also for example I play as england and france is my vassal milan started war first against me then against france after some times france just annouced a ceasfire without even taking conisderating my oppinion.So my question is whats point of the vassals?

I believe they're nothing more than some indepandant-ish provinces who can do whatever they want whenever they like.
They do however, if I'm informed correctly, have to pass any earning above "X" to you (I believe its 10000).

I also think you get 50 % of their income

Since alliances, even vassals, are usually very temporary things (depending on campaign difficulty level), having vassals seems pretty much pointless.
Better to just kill them and take over their lands.

The lands they hold count towards your goal of having X pronvinces for victory.
Late game I tend to be annoyed because I have to look throuh 2 dozen settlements because turns become long and tedious, rather then clicking auto manage, it is a good time to dump useless provinces on vassals.
Also the game is less boring with different factions on the map, not just 3-4 giants.

I believe you need those provinces/regions under control, not necessairly own them. But I'm not sure.
