Moved Gontran de Linars back to Toulouse, Yvon Lacaze into the Prince's stack (Where Christophe de Perrone also resides currently), the Prince to a position south of Toulouse from which he can (hopefully) reach Marseille or Pamplona next season as necessary, and put Aquitaine's infantry force in position for Gaetan de Rethel to take command.

I had permission to move the avatars I moved. Of Aquitaine Raynaud de Xaintrailles will make his own move, and I did not have permission to move Gaetan de Rethel last time I checked so YLC will do his own as well..

Seneschal's Report for 1107


Current Events

I have taken Nuremburg:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The town was sacked for 1694 florins. Leaving a company of militia as a garrison, I marched back to the west.

Our spy infiltrated Nottingham, but King William fled north to York.

The Moorish army that appeared in our heartland has marched east into Milanese territory and is now out of view.

The Germans have moved to the walls of Antwerp and a large army from Hamburg has moved southwest and is close to Prince Henri.

A great portion of the Pamplona garrison has moved north out of our view.

I will provide further detail in the Military Affairs section.

Barbus Selvo has an adoption offer.

The Pope, he never seems content, is pushing for another Church:

The rioting in Valencia continues:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Also it appears the mustering hall there was damaged when the rioting broke out last year. (OOC: Due to the AI turn exchange of saves, I didn't get a pop up last year.)


Domestic Affairs

Barbus Selvo and Princess Constance are currently approaching the Realm's Mediterranean coast. The Royal couple may want to decide where they wish to land.

Several projects have been finished:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

In addition, a Stable was ordered for Caen, Land Clearance for Staufen and Communal Farming for Toulouse. The goal of all this is to increase our military capacity and ability to quickly move armies.

Some of our nobles have gained recognition:

Foreign Affairs

An Egyptian diplomat approached us regarding a possible trade agreement, in accordance with Amendment 1.2 I told him to convert to the one true Faith or shove off.

I have begun sending feelers out toward the Germans concerning a possible peace agreement. The offer of Nuremburg, trade rights and maps in return for peace was considered balanced, but was rejected by the Germans. We may have to offer generous terms for them to accept.

Peter Scherer, the Imperial Cardinal, is dead.


Military Affairs

Angers has fallen to Duc Alain.

The depleted cavalry companies in Toulouse have been brought up to strength. A company of peasants was recruited as well to serve as a garrison.

A company of militia was mustered in Zaragoza.

At the King's request, a company of Armoured Spearmen were raised at Caen.

At Staufen, I recruited a company of peasants to serve as a garrison. Archers were recruited for Raymond and a company of Mounted Sergeants for Prince Henri.

Another company of Militia was raised at Dijon.

Iberia:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The Moors have not moved. Valencia is rioting and still threatened. The English army that disappeared north of Pamplona might be trying to make an end run on Bordeaux, or they could be taking ship. I do not know because of the fog of war.

England:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The large army that was west of York has moved to Nottingham. King William is now alone in York. My guess is that the English are trying to surround the Order and the King. Of course our Monarch could kill them all with two nags and a sharp stick, but they don't know that.

Germany:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Antwerp is threatened as is Prince Henri. A German army seems to be marching through the Alps to relieve Bern.


Recommendations

The threat from the Moors has lessened, but that huge army in Italy may return. With all our lands in France recovered we are now free to box in the English at Pamplona. They have split their army, perhaps we can take advantage of this, or perhaps it is a trap.

The German thrust at Antwerp must be dealt with.

I would suggest bringing our campaigns in Germany and England to a quick resolution so we can deal with the Moors and any other surprises that may come.

Duc Raymond, if you cannot resolve the siege of Bern, you will most likely be attacked by the end of this season. What do you wish to do?

Prince Henri, whatever plans you have for the Germans, get cracking, I intend to make peace with the Germans as soon as we have a strong negotiating position.

With the move of King William to York and the lessening of the Moorish threat, are we still set on a Moorish Crusade?

Gaetan de Rethel has moved to siege Pamplona (I put ladder, ram, ladder, ram, ladder, ram in the siege equipment line as I always do) with his army. He is joined by Yvon Lacaze (The only one who could join the stack without taking command) and another company of mounted sergeants.

Prince Louis, Christophe de Perrone, and the two refreshed companies of cavalry have moved west towards the coast and spotted the remaining Englishmen waiting by the Pamplona docks.

The only remaining Aquitaine movement is GH at Zaragosa.

Moved the mounted unit from Staufen towards Frankfurt, it can continue to try to catch Henri.

Oh..and ripped the heart out of 1300 Germans! Unfortunately the 500 survivors now hide in Hamburg...Henri marches there now, not quite reached it though.

Philippe and the Order knights scored an heroic victory, attacking the large ENglish army barring the way to Nottingham. They even received the support of the city garrison.

All Order knights fought valiantly, all earning experience but Robert Bouchart particularly distinguished himself by killing and capturing the biggest contingent of men by charging alone through the main English force, causing the start of a mass rout. (OOC : he went from 0 to 3 bronze chevrons in that single battle).

The garrison commander Simon Marment was captured and Guillaume once again refused to pay the 4000 plus florins ransom for their release. The man truly has the blackest of hearts.

Nottingham is besieged as our man Fevre probably bribed men who have been killed in the precedent battle.

Captain Volkmar chose to withdraw behind the walls of Magdeburg rather than face Thomas on the open field.
