Your main goal in Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is to pick a kingdom and fight for dominance throughout the world. While defeating armies in battle will weaken the numbers of your enemy, you’ll need to take their castles and cities in order to grow your own Kingdom and squash others.
Taking a city is only the first step, as you’ll then need to defend it from threats outside and within. If the Loyalty of a city gets too low, they will end up rebelling against you, making you lose the fief and deal with a battle on yet another front. Here’s how to increase city loyalty and keep them from rebelling.

How Does Loyalty & Rebelling Work In Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord
Every day, depending on the factors listed above, the loyalty of each city will either go up or down. Once Loyalty drops below about 25, you run the risk of that city rebelling against the kingdom. This essentially creates a new small kingdom, with its own parties that will immediately go to war with the kingdom that once owned them. Anyone can declare war on a rebelling city, letting other kingdoms steal your cities without going to war with you. Putting down a rebelling city will also force you to siege your own fief, and kill your Militia, greatly setting back that fief in many ways.
