The Danes started a war with me, the Holy Roman Empire, and so the war was quickly brought to his doorstep. The Danes had sallied a couple of times, so it was down to the king himself against 350 of my men. Instead of waiting 4 turns, I decided to assault the citadel. That one king killed 250 of my men! And then he took 100 others as prisoners!

In the same turn, the Danish king dies of a disease!

Can anyone explain this for me??

best,
