What. I posted replies to our events already. Like, Tuesday.

Fair enough, it was posted as if you were asking for opinions from your vassals, I'll use them and end the phase now.

1073

1073 was a grim year in Ireland. The County of Mide was handed over to church control, but 3 years of banditry and lawlessness had left it in a terrible shape. Drought came to the County of Laigin, drastically reducing the prosperity and killing many peasants. Across the island the nobles ruling were seen as Godless and unrest was everywhere, prosperity withered across Ireland. The ruling classes sat in their castles, playing the game of thrones, did they care what the little man thought or did? The next few years would see.

All results out, let me know if I missed anything. I'll not set a deadline for this phase as activity was low last weekend, I'll end it when I get all the orders.

Phase 5 begins.

Well I was but the lazy buggers seem to be asleep. No wonder the peasants are angry with the nobility...

I'll take orders for another 16 hours or so, results and write ups will come as soon as I get back from work and end the round.

**johnhughthom** · 06-27-2011, 19:30

Phase over, getting on to results and write up.

Sorry about the delay, something came up.

1074

Discontent continued across Ireland this year, worsening in some areas, but generally staying the same as last year. Rumours surfaced in Munster that pagans were rife across the Dukedom, Duke Csargo's investigations turned up little evidence of heathen practices, but some evidence of the claims originating from outside his realm.
A man was expelled from Leinster after presenting the Duke with a document he claimed showed Diamondeye was the rightful Duke of Ulaid. Diamondeye believed the document was a forgery and refused to use it to force a false claim.
In Connaught Marshall B_Ray defeated a group of Vikings who had raided the Irish coast, evading other Dukedoms forces for 3 years.

A tourney will be held in Ulster next year, as usual all Duchys should decide if they Duke will allow free participation, and Ulster should decide how much to spend.

Phase six begins, 48 hours for orders.
