    a princess of Scotland, Dearbhail the Snob come in secret to meet with the diplomat Juan at Caen Castle, to form a bond between us against a common foe...the English...it is also rumored...how does one say, let me leave it at this, the Scottish Royal Line may now and forever have a touch of Aragonese in it. She is set to marry Milanese Royalty, let us hope he is a foolish cuckold!


    ENOUGH OF THIS INSULT! the King of England himself has deigned to tresspass our lands...this is totallt unacceptable...he thinks us weak, but we will show him! were i not so old i myself would take my sword out of its oilcloth and join in. Enrique will force these Englishmen into the sea! we will show the world our strength!

    No.
    But there is in some of it’s players…

    tiring of cowards tactics, Enrique leads his knights in a daring move to outflank the enemy artillery!



    The enemy die like pigs, squealing as lances cut through their bodies, and cut off vital functions...



    our forces hold...Enrique is dealing with the enemy captain, and our men hold...for the moment...





    BLESS THE HOLY MOTHER!!!! just as our men were ready to turn, Enrique turns and throws himself into their flanks, his retainers follow and they cut a bloody swath!



    the English are in full rout! we will cut them down as the Lord separates the wheat from the tares!


    God Bless Us! The Prince of England has fallen! may his father lose his mind with grief, and may they both roast in the deepest parts of hell!



    King Eustace flees rather than face our horsemen! our footsoldiers were enough for him!



    Father and Son go down together to the pit! Glory to Aragon!

    another English general.dead.rejoice.


    A close victory indeed, but never-the-less, VICTORY!! Thank the Virgin that Enrique was able to turn the tide...a bloody time indeed,although sweeter for the deaths of two Princes of england, and their lord father. we wed with tears, and attend funerals in celebration...

    {{i think i had WAY too many ranged units...cost me big time!}}

    after much debate, and finally deciding that his sword was much too dull to kill anyone at the moment, Horacio ransoms the remaining Englishmen home.may their tales spread terror.


    a time of mourning, for Enrique has died from wounds sustained in battle..


    The English wisely sue for peace, the price is high, we demand the city of Eikendarsund as reparations.

    with the cries of the slain echoing through his mind, Horacio decides to avenge them in battle...in a well calculated move, he hires a small mercenary fleet to sail his army up the Thames...the London...


    Taking London was relatively easy, however not without its loss of life..


    Horacio, finding that many of 'England's Servants' are unhappy with their masters, and will happily trade one master for another, hires them, and allowing his army to regroup in London(and enjoy the womenfolk) casts his hopes on these mercenaries and lays siege to Nottingham...which the English have left unguarded due to their northern fued with a resurgent Scotland.


    Seeing that Aragon has grown by leaps, and has failed to acknowledge the Papacy in any form, as the Pope was against the founding of the Montesa Knights, the Pope sends a bull threatening excommunication if we do not cease hostilities against the English...but money answers all things...the Pope will gladly welcome us back into the flock when we dangle money before him!


    While our reputation with Pope Guildenstein(!) falter, we avoid excommunication by sending one of the more slaggish of our princesses into his chamber after hours...may the virgin conceive!

    In high hopes of finally bringing the dreary desert crusade against the Moors to an end, King El Cid runs across Pricnce Sa'id in a bid to outflank the capital...


    the dogs of the desert close in, the sand they kick up masking their superior numbers...but numbers dont matter...or do they?


    the Cross and Crescent clash! and we will see who is greater this day, Allah or our Crucified Lord!



    At them! kill,kill, kill!! Aragonese knights show these dogs the meaning of fear as we ride them down!


    VICTORY! the Moors cannot last much longer!God has granted King Cid victory over this filth!

    Horacio the Wrathful fell to one of the diseases while sieging York,these diseases are brought on by this damp, cursed land of England! he died in a terrible coughing fit, with blood leaping from his mouth...the mercenaries he hired,however proved their worth when they stormed York without their leader. we were excommunicated for our pains, and with the treasury laid bare by recent warfare, once more an Aragonese Princess is sent to 'bargain' with the Pope. Juana the Affectionate does the job nicely, she is know as a 'hard bargainer'.



    rumors fly, and the Pope's reputation is damaged...but we are no longer excommunicate, and now we can tax our people fully!
