@Mithridate your gamble did not pay off and apparently you had brought all the members of the French royal bloodline to England, where they have perished and will be interred in unmarked graves.
First the newly built navies in London removed your forces' escape route by crushing the ships off of London's ports:
Then they sailed off to Nottingham to gather what troops they could in anticipation of London's imminent fall, to atleast punish the invading French noblemen after the sacking of our fair capital. En route to Nottingham they spotted the ship which assisted in circumventing London's walls and destroyed it:
Bearing the full knowledge that the Royal Exchequer of England would greatly aid the French invaders, our valorous King attempted a mad dash at the superiour besieging forces in an attempt to distract them while the gold and valuables were smuggled off to Nottingham castle. This caught the French by surprise and as they were still constructing siege weapons and organizing their camp, the English knights swept down and won a surprising victory!
The French retreated to a nearby temporary fortified encampment, but the King gave chase and stormed their position without hesitation:
The garrison of Winchester castle sallied out to root out the French blockades:
And finally both forces united north of London and made a final move to end the French usurper's life, thereby ensuring Plantagenet claim on the French and English thrones:
Losing all your FM's and forgetting about Night Figther are the top reasons good players lose hotseats Good game Mithridate! Would you like me to leave the King alone so we can continue the game (you'd still get your other forces beaten though)?
