SENESHAL REPORT Season 1 (1081)
Le Trésor Royal:
My King, Dauphin, nobles of the realm. The first season went very well.
Unfortunately Mother church informed me that no new priests were available last season so I was unable to fulfill that requirement.
In the mean time Cardinal Etienne Courtois moved towards Toulouse as the “faith” seems sadly lacking there.
I have to report that Her Highness, Princess Constance, was unable to secure Angers from the English, she certainly made a valiant attempt but we were rebuffed on both occasions.
Unfortunately our beloved Princess seems to have picked up a heathen German as a suitor. God knows what he was doing fraternising with the English but I have seen him in the flesh and he is more German than a bloody Rottweiler. In addition our relations with the English have tragically worsened.
Given the lopsided position in Metz, our spy is heading to Bruges.
In addition a diplomat was commissioned and will be available next season.
In a surprising move given our pending “issues” with the Holy Roman Empire we have secured trade rights with them. It also cost them 1500 florins.
I'm pleased to provide the following construction report:
Toulouse a small chapel
Dijon a grain exchange
Rheims began roads (completed)
Rennes a grain exchange
Paris, well the money dried up once a number of mercenary regiments were recruited so nothing could be constructed.
That leads me to the defense of this realm.
le Ministère de la Guerre:
In the north the King received two regiments of mercenary crossbowmen near Bruges. Our forces are gathering for the coming siege.
In the south the Dauphin's man, Christophe de Peronne was able to recruit two regiments of mercenary spearmen for the pending attacks in northern Spain.
Duke de Champagne has begun the siege of Metz.
And in developments that have caught me entirely by surprise, while I was watching some paint drying in Rennes while administering the Realm and I had a vision from one of God's representatives on earth.
He has instructed me to create a more equitable situation for the realm.
This requires Bretagne to take a more active roll in the coming seasons.
In short my lords “we” are heading over the channel to acquire some land. I am sure this will be of long term benefit to the realm as a whole.
Given this development, mercenaries will be a little harder to come by in the next few seasons. I am sure that with the regiments currently available we will be able to achieve our goals.
Here is the current reports from across the realm.
OOC: Save here: 24 Hours to go.
