Why won’t Castile un-rival me?

Playing England and I’d like to royal marry Castile so I can PU them, but even with over +100 relations and me having a friendly attitude they won’t. Is there any more I can do? I’ve already scornfully insulted a mutual rival and given a large gift.
That's fine using your phone. Problem is who are you?
Try insulting their rivals
England. I have a comment that explains some more.
Don’t. Destroy them. Make the world a better place.
Relaunching the game forces ai nations to reconsider their rivals. It’s not a guarantee but if you haven’t tried it will sometimes do it
I don't think that the AI ever manually unrivals a country. You have to either force them or become ineligible to be their rival (either by eclipsing them or letting them eclipse you)
Also, I know how to screenshot. I prefer using my phone.
Ah ok. That makes your post so much better somehow.
I think ai will only change Rivals on monarch change or when one is no longer available. So it might change when Isabella dies. Or just force it through war
Attack them and force unrival
Ah I didn’t consider that. Very clever.
That is literally the only guaranteed way to make this happen.
You can do that?
Use remove rival option in the peace deal.
