Re: Names
I have looked at all my history books and knowed history links and I have found poorly information about asturican court.
king Alfonsus II (800-842) restored gothic Aula Regia (or royal Court). I´m not sure he restored exactly, but I am going to put you the offices of gothic Aula Regia in order to allow you use some of them (choose yourself as you like) as asturican offices.
- Rex (king) or faction leader.
- dux (duke): military head of a province and usually also civil power. The only historical asturican dux was dux of Galicia (dux Galicarum). (++ influence)
- Comites- singular comes (Count): were two kind of counts: local counts, as governors of towns and counties, and comites of "officia palatina" (royal court offices)
a) About local counts we know the powerful count of Castille (comes Castellarum) (+ influence and probably + command due to be a border county), count of Alava (+ influence), count of Bierzo (+ influence), count of Bureba (+ influence), count of Viseo (+ influence), count of Lugo (+ influence), count of Saldaña (or Saldania if you have not ñ) (+ influence), count of Carrion (+ influence), count of Dueñas/Duenias (+ influence)
b) royal court offices (remember, gothic offices, could not be as exactly as in asturias):
- comes cubiculi: as in roman times, reliable person near the king, in order to advise him. (++ influence, - personal security, because of the envy and the court plots)
- comes scanciarum: similar to majordomus in frank kingdom, but with no comparable power (+ influence)
- comes thesaurorum: head of the royal treasure. (++ management, + tax collection- he does not listen at odd tales at the moment of tax collection)
- comes patrimonii: administrator about royal inheritance possesions (+ management, could be + farmer and trader)
- comes notariarum: he controls all the documents of the chancellory (+ management, + influence)
- comes stabuli: head of the royal stables (I suposse + when command cavalry...)
- comes spatariorum: head of the personal royal bodyguards (+ perosnal security and could be + command). I think this office really doesn´t exist at asturican times, so be sensible about it.
- comes civitatis: major of the royal court town. Depend on where you put the capital it could be comes civitatis ovetensis or comes civitatis legionensis, but I think if you are going to let the player to move the capital it could be wise name it as simple "comes regis civitatis". (+ influence, + personal security)
Of course I will try to achive historial sure asturican offices, but you can begin with these ones.
Good work, guys!
