Declaring war on kingdoms while not being a kingdom.

I'm on my 3 millionth play though and I thought I would just cruise around collecting rebel cities this play through and see how far I got. Mostly because Derthert wouldn't die last game, he was 74 when I'd conquered the map for Vlandia. On my fifth city and the southern empire is getting smashed and I thought what the hell lets try and declare war on them. I was tier 3. 6 months later I have all their cities and castles via a lot of skirmishes and baiting them into sieging so I can catch them on the campaign map. It's a lot of fun, your villages get trashed constantly but I'm covering the losses in loot. Now that the southern empire has lost its income base they aren't fielding anything resembling a threat.
I was under the impression you couldn't declare war on kingdoms as an independent clan.

This game still surprises me.
