Don't get relations to 100 with your king

(Playing 1257AD enhanced) I've found that it is not to my advantage to get the king to 90+ relations. I have been ready to rebel since I had 2 cities, 4 castles and 1 village. I now have 4 cities, 7 castles and 1 village and it seems he will still be giving me more! My tax rate is terrible! I am having trouble paying for new recruits and training them so I can take another fief so far away from where my kingdom where they will be almost impossible to defend. The fiefs I want to keep have had their garrisons trimmed to the minimum to supply troops to take and hold castles I don't want. Then on top of it all the lords in the Teutonic Order are all selfish DICKS so it will be some time before I can find decent vassals! I will be forced to use 3 of my companions as vassals which I believe will hurt me in the late game. I'm running all over the map with my knights fighting large stacks of enemies. Running out of them too! I'm sure I'm not the first to do this but I thought it might help new comers if they seen the issues with having a loving King. :)
