Epirus Campgain - Taking Sparte and Kleonymos

So I've been playing Epirus, just taken Sparte and the following turn the city is biseiged by rebels and my Spartan General Kleonymos dissapears as soon as it happens. I know this is scripted, but is there anyway to take Spate without loosing Kleonymos, I wanna keep muh Spartan Hoplies!

Did you read the message that popped up when you took Sparte? It asked you to install an Allied Government. If you install a factional government, you get the revolt.

You avoid this by installing an Allied Government there.

Ohhhhhh! No I missed that! Thanks for that!

That's why you have Kleonymos (who's a Spartan - not an Epirote) in the first place. It tells you in the starting message that he's with Pyrrhos, who's supporting his bid to claim the diadem in Sparte.

If you install an Allied Government, it turns him into a Client Ruler.
