    Default The Tides of Portugal- Portuguese AAR

    The Tides of Portugal

    Portugal was the new kid on the block, they recently attained independance.



    Their position is good, a door to the sea, new lands to conquer and a who shall foolishly give away their land from war.

    Iberia was troubled, its ways of life were disrupted hundreds of years ago when The Moors invaded, and thye soon took a bit of Iberia. But a army kept going and invaded France. They were beaten. This started years of wars in Iberia, as thousands of soldiers from countries around EUrope rushed to Iberia to save it from the invaders.

    But soon it was over, all withdrew except the Moors and Rebels. The other peoples were left to deal with the invaders. But soon a King rose from the masses and declared himself King of all Spain, and he gained rule over Galicia,Leon and Castile.

    But portugal gained their lands, and soon there was three nations fighting for Iberia. Spain,Portugal and The Moors. And so starts the days, when the tides of portugal may wash over Iberia, or be swept back into the sea.

    CHapter 1


    1080 AD, The Lands of Iberia, The DIary of King Heinrique




    The year started out with bad crops, plagues and war. The Nobles despair, the inferiors move further into Iberia, burning Our Portuguese People and our SPanish Brothers. Brothers? Hardly, they shall stab us in the back when they can.

    I hope Pamplona cna hold out, beign so far from Lisboa, but even Lisboa is poor, Portugal is still young though.

    This year I sent out the orders to my SOn, the Affonso, to attack The Moorish Capital, I fear for him every day. If only he followed my commands, he is too young and rash. If only he could follow commands like his sister, she follows all of my instructions, as any Prince or Princess should.

    I sent Maria to The Moors today, to discuss Diplomatic Peace, I hope they fall for the trick, the distraction. But they, rudely, did not let her into their Castle, I shall kill them just for that! So I sent MAria to those SPanish Rabble, and they are still dicussing events, I hope she comes back soon, I feel ever so old and lonely.

    Now to finish my thoughts, as shall not be able to write in this diary for a while. There are many in Portugal unloyal to the Catholic Church, we are to root them otu and either convert them or kill them.

    I have lsited all my orders below, and have instructed my Historians to keep a record of Portugal's History.

    Signed: King Henrique of Portugal,




    History of the Ever Most Great Kingdom of Portugal,
    Under the RUle of Henrique
    King's Historian,

    1080 AD


    the Kingdom is in slight turmoil, all are worried about either Moorish Invasion, or Spanish Invasion.

    Several heretics are undercover, ready to spring forward and convert the People of Portugal, of course the King thinks they want the Crown. They could be right, as reports have come in of Assasains around, though no ones told the King for some reason...

    Anyway, the Prince, Affonso, and the First Army of Portugal, headed towards the Moorish Capital today.

    The Kingdom is on the brink of a new age I think, and we are stuck in a whirlpool of new things.

    Oh! Some more news, several units have attacked Zaragoza, a worthy add-on to our Kingdom, though it is not ours yet. I wonder who is to take it?
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Several of oru Assasains have headed towards some Moorish generals, to carry out orders.

    Other then those things, this yera is most peaceful, compared to last year...

    Signed:The Kings Historian
    Stored in the 122nd Aisle of the King's Library,
