Re: Chancellor and governor reports
Special Chancellor's Report, 1227 AD
My lords, I felt that the events of this year deserve special attention and as such I will write them here instead of reporting on them in my next full report.
The empire faced two battles this year, the first one being the Venetian sally against our siege of Durazzo and the latter the declaration of war by the Mongols upon our most holy empire by assaulting our holy emperor Henry.
The frist of two battles has been resolved from what I hear, and while Durazzo is ours, the price of victory was steep. For the first time in many years, the empire lost a noble man in battle. I shall not ponder at this time whether it was god's will or a cruel twist of fate, but honor the most valorous Ehrhart von Mahren, who gave his life to protect that of his father and the Steward of Austria. For his deeds made victory possible and his sacrifice prevented the death of many more men of the empire.
As such, I, Chancellor Hans, knight Ehrhart von Mahren posthumously in memory of his service to the house of Austria and the empire.
I mourn with Austria and Jonas von Mahren and I am certain the rest of the empire does too.
Doge Benasuto vs Jonas von Mahren, Odds 1:1 sally at Durazzo. Heroic victory.
Let us hope that the news we shall receive shortly from our emperor Henry will be less dire, for losing one noble in one year is bad enough already. My prayers are with my father at this time, in hope that he shall find a glorious victory over these heathen horsemen.
News arrived this day from Outremer and I am proud to declare to all that our most noble emperor has slain the Mongol infidel that dared attacked us en route to Jerusalem. While our losses were heavy, their's are even more so. I shall now make arrangements for the armies of Outremer to be replenished and reinforced a soon as possible.
Bayan the Wrathful vs Emperor Henry, Odds 3:2 field battle north east of Jerusalem. Clear Victory.
