Some development since last post. All my children are now married as I married Prince Leto to the now Princess Amalia Caetani, an attractive italian noblewoman. Prince Wilfred got married off to Baroness Roza of Schlutup. Princess Benedikt married Neiniad ap Ednowain, mostly so they can spawn some good members to our dynasty. More than ever now we need some good genes in our pool. Karin was also married to Archambaud de Lusignan, a 35 year old with good genes and not enough prestige to say no to a matriarchal union.
In this last little bit I also managed to accomplish my current biggest goal, which was to take over the Kingdom of Denmark. On July 8th of 1153 King Jorgen I was sadly found dead due to misterious causes, it is a tragedy for sure :) but I think the only thing I can do now is to try and be a strong leader for my Kingdom.
Unfortunately, my appropriation of Denmark caused one of our new vassals to grow discontent. Duchess Birgitta I of Skane declared a civil war because she wanted me to "Lower crown authority". Bitch please ! If you want my throne now, as it is still cold, say it. We'll sort it out like civilized people, by slaughtering each others vassals. Which I did with the help of my good friends of the White Company and the Great Company.
Well, after such a bloody and costly conflict, we managed to offer a white peace to Birgitta. I just wanted the kingdom to go back to peace so we can build Denmark up. Then down the line force some claims on some other counties and duchies. Unfortunately, on our treck back to Slesvig, I encountered some rebels fighting in the Swedish province of Wolgast. I barely wanted to intervene, but in the cross fire I was actually hit in the head, causing me to become a cripple :/ Not really a nice thing to happen. My lovely wife decided to take of me, and now she is running the show until I pass.
