My campaign as the English is encountering a few minor hurdles at the moment. I'm at war with the Scots, The Danes and the French none of whom are prepared to accept a ceasefire and continuously send armies to harass my holdings in York and near Caen. I've managed to keep naval superiority with an excellent admiral in control of a group of highly experienced ships.
Due to poor relations with the Pope, i decided to build a crusader army and take Antioch as requested.

My humble crusaders marched east, picking up mercenaries along the way and suffering some minor desertion near Constantinople. On arrival i was surprised to find Antioch in rebel hands. Wasting no time, i built siege towers and assaulted the city, as a Danish crusader army, of superior numbers, was approaching rapidly from the north, and i wanted to have the settlement on my side if I had to fight them.
Easily overcoming the rebels, my crusaders peacefully settled in Antioch, but were faced with massive Islamic riots, who were obviously not too happy to see these Catholic "liberators". My crusaders were thrown out of Antioch by the rebels, but wasting no time, immediately retook the Holy city, only this time, committing great slaughter amongst the rebellious population, which eventually bowed to its new overlords.
I had also experienced problems with the Scots, who seemed intent to take York at any cost and had already paid for it with the lives of many men. So i raised an army and marched it towards Edinburgh. Just outside the city, i was set upon by three Scottish armies, each one led by a Scottish prince. My English army, on top of a large hill, massively outnumbered and surrounded on all sides, would sell themselves dearly. Scores of the enemy fell to my longbowmen as they tried to ascend the hill to engage in close combat. My foot soldiers charged, scattering on of the three armies back down the hill, doing the same to the second as it approached from another side, killing the generals.
By the time my men reassembled at the top of the hill to meet the third host, they were tired and their numbers were thinned, my longbowmen having run out of ammo long ago and joining their comrades in hand to hand combat.
Still fighting on against the oncoming enemy, they were finally routed by enemy knights. But not before killing the final enemy general.
So now i am stuck in a stalemate...
