1192 continued

Leaving a garrison in Acre, the rest of the Crusade has laid siege to Jerusalem. Even though the city is only held by an Egyptian nobleman and his retainers, I want as many of our troops as possible to take part in the completion of our Holy task.

News of our entry into the province of Jerusalem has reached the Pope, our relations with him have improved back to outstanding.

A fleet of ships has departed Venice for the Holy Land with 5 priests, 2 merchants, a diplomat and a spy.

Duke von Kastilien has returned to Thorn with his army. He will rest and rearm his troops while keeping an eye on those wayward Russians. If the Poles make a move toward Breslau, he will be able to respond.

Count von Hamburg has chased down some bandits north of his home city. I await word of the battle. . .

The latest band of rebels has been routed. They were 555 in number, going up against 1086 of course. They were all killed or captured, and 106 casualties were sustained.

I hope the Count's demonstration of the Reich's might will not be lost on the Danes.

Duke Leopold has engaged even more rebel scum north of Zagreb. If destroyed, there would be no bandits left in the Reich, or at least until next year. I await word of the battle. . .

The Duke has crushed them. He will move on to our new frontier with Hungary to build watchtowers.
