SENESHAL REPORT Season 6 (1089)

Le Trésor Royal:

My King, Dauphin, nobles of the realm.

Our diplomat heading towards the Scottish capital dropped into the English court. We were politely refused two offers of land trade. The English do not seem to want to give up their possessions on the continent.

Ser Mauvoisin will be pleased to know our standing with the English did not deteriorate further from these negotiations.

Her Highness Princess Constance spent some time with the Pope and as a result increased our standing with him at this delicate time.

Speak of her Highness, there is another suitor knocking at the door so to speak.

It seems the lesser nobility are listening to our King. Dublin has been identified as a target for us. I will begin to make preparations for the invasion.

I'm pleased to provide the following construction report:

le Ministère de la Guerre:

Firstly congratulations to the King for annihilating the German's who decided to relieve Antwerp.

However in response to this defeat the Holy Roman Empire is threatening the very heart of the Kingdom. A substantial force is now less than a season's ride from Paris, Metz, Rheims and Dijon. The only forces in the region are the Duc of Lorraine and the Duc of Bourgogne.

In addition to this, Staufen is now completely abandon and given the English lack of interest we should not simply let the Germans retake it.

I am considering the offer of peace for its return to them.

Recruitment has begun to increase:

Rheims: 1 x Regiment of Town Militia
Paris: 2 Regiments of Town Militia
Toulouse: 2 x Regiments of Mounted Sargents

Here is the current report from across the realm.

Save is back

Took Philippe out of Antwerp to single-handedly defeat the remnants of the German army nearby.

Scored a new heroic victory (no battle marker though)

Philippe has now gone down south towards the German army marching on Dijon to bring support to Duc Hugues.

SENESHAL REPORT Season 7 (1090)

Le Trésor Royal:

My King, Dauphin, nobles of the realm.

I have the pleasure of announcing that His Highness Prince Henri has come of age and has received his spurs. He is residing in Rheims and is awaiting your commands my King.



His Highness Prince Louis was asked to consider giving another man station and rank. It was rejected.



In other news regarding the royal family, Princess Constance has failed to reply to quite a number of my missives relating to matters of state and the Papacy. I am starting to become a little concerned about her. Rome is full of vipers and danger, not hearing from her regularly is something I will raise with the King.

Scottish stubbornness has lead to the inability to fulfill one of our edicts.





I will attempt again to fulfill the requirements next season.

Our other diplomat is heading towards the Portuguese capital and I hope to have reports of an alliance and trade in the next season.

I'm pleased to provide the following construction beginning:

Rennes: Land Clearance
Antwerp: Town Watch (Repair)
Rheims: Grain Exchange
Zaragoza: Roads
Valencia: Roads
Metz: Upgrading to a Stone Keep.

The following contrustion projects were completed this season:



le Ministère de la Guerre:

The following units were recruited:

Staufen: 1 Regiment of Archers
Rheims: 1 Regiment of Spear Militia



It seems Duc of Lorraine was correct. The Holy Roman Empire has beseiged Dijon. The situation looks very serious from the reports I have received.



The Scottish also seem intent on Dublin, so I intend to move immediately across the Irish Sea to lay siege. I simply need a response from my nobles on who will attend the event.

Here is the current report from across the realm.

Myself, Bertin and the army of Lorraine are now in position to support a sally at Dijon (KnightnDay's SoT post prohibited me from moving him, so he'll have to take the save and move his avatar into the stack if he wishes to join). I would suggest that Duc Raymond await Thomas's arrival before attacking, but it is his decision.

Seneschal, as discussed, I have prioritized a company of. . .peasants. . .for Metz to prevent rioting. Once all moves have been made, please adjust the tax levels in Reims to avoid rioting.

Taking the save.

The Company of the Order of the Fleur de Lys (Hermant, Eloi, Simon and Gaspard) wish to ride to join with the King to the ford on the Rhine. This will leave Antwerp lacking a garrison, but the place is so underdeveloped, it blackens the reputation of any man said to "govern" it. The locals are calling Simon ignorant and me a bad trader!

OOC: Tristan, please make the move for us, thanks.

New save

Sorry, Cecil for the bad timing...

Moved Philippe and the Order of the fleur de lys (Neufville, Mauvoisin, Montferrat, Montpierre) to the Rhine ford but lacked movement to attack the stack there.

Moved militia from Bruges to Antwerp and from Paris to Bruges.

Northnovas, Robert won't be needed and you're free to move him towards Brittany (He couldn't have joined the royal army and it would have taken him further away from where he wanted to go)

Having to worry about five avatars all while taking pictures is an unpleasent experience. Still, I don't lose anyone!

Looks like someone got chocolate in my peanut butter, er I mean cavalry got to my bowmen.

Hugues is heading back to the Staufen bridge with his battered army. Taxes in Reims adjusted to avoid rioting. The other Lorraine nobles and the Reims militia were left behind because they had less movement points.

SENESHAL REPORT Season 8 (1092)

Le Trésor Royal:

My King, Dauphin, nobles of the realm.

It was a busy year for diplomacy.

Firstly we managed to gain some head way with the stubborn Scots. They have accepted a trade agreement with some florins added but refused an alliance with an additional sweetener. I will continue to attempt to fulfill the edict.








In Portugal we managed to secure and alliance and trade rights but just failed to secure military access.







I will attempt again to fulfill the requirements next season.




As such our standing with Portugal and Spain increased as a result.








Her Highness Princess Constance was accosted by yet another suitor. I leave it to her father to remove this annoyance. I must also formally reiterate here in the Seneschals report that Her Highness seems to have gone missing. All inquiries to her whereabouts in Rome have been met with no success. The Pope himself has sent his concerns to the Seneschals office.






I'm pleased to provide the following construction beginning:

Antwerp: Roads
Marseilles: Roads
Bruges: Grain Exchange

The following construction projects were completed this season:






It looks like the English have decided that the secret war is to begin.



That and another key indicator is the situation around Dublin as an example of their strength and intentions. I will be make a quick departure from Ireland in the coming season as the situation is beyond our resources.




le Ministère de la Guerre:

The following units were recruited:

Toulouse: 2 Regiments of Mounted Sargents.
Metz: 1 Regiment of Peasants.






The Holy Roman Empire has besieging Staufen. I am not even sure we can do anything about it.






We have become the largest kingdom in the known world.






Here is the current report from across the realm.

Save is back

Declined the adoption offer.

Philippe has rode out to Frankfurt to demand the liberation of his daughter from the Kaiser himself.

The Order knights and Philippe's infantry have been left behind at the Rhine Ford to prevent any further agressive move by the Germans.

One (or two) of the Order knights could leave the army and deal with the small German army in northern Flanders, with my permission.

The suitor of Constance has been sent back to his home, as I found him unwilling to put his life at risk to go and fetch her back from the German eagle's talons.

OOC : sorry for taking so long with the save but the wife had a sudden and unavoidable need of Internet...
