The Dubiously Competent Adventures of King Anarawd
((Imgur messed up one of my images.))
23 June, 901 Anno DominiThe problem with Andalusia is that it's full of Andalusians.
When we last left off, we were preparing to go Deus Vultin'. After a long series of boat-related shenanigans, I managed to get myself, my long-suffering son Mihangel and the glorious Welsh army to Aquitaine. The plan is to run in, get myself and Mihangel the Crusader trait, and run back out, because there are a lot of Muslims down there and they look scary. If the Crusade looks like it's going well in a couple of months, hell, we might even come back! Wait, I can't say the h word that loud. The zealot Germans might purge me of my sin. Violently.

The French king asks me for an alliance.

Seeing as he gets in a war every other Tuesday, I send him this back.
I don't know what the bear is for. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Back to the DEUS VULTIN'.
Alright, we all have Crusader now, time to go home... Wait what's this?! This battle actually looks slightly winnable! I suppose it can't hurt to have a look- Oh, who am I kidding? DEUS VULT! ANARAWD... ABERFFRAWWWW!

We got there just in time to chase down the fleeing infidels. Everyone thought it was great fun.

This crusade has...changed me. I am no longer the callous, indifferent sinner I once was. The Angry Germans have taught me much in the ways of the Lord. I feel His holy fire burning within me.

DIE KEBAB INFIDELS! IN THE NAME OF THE PRINCE OF PEACE!
Annnd my daughter just died in childbirth. Joy. Gross Neckbeard Frenchie is no longer my son in law.


Excellent.

Less excellent. Now I have to kill his son too, if I want to change the succession laws to something slightly manageable.
It is 29 December, 902.
PROGRESS TODAY: Deus Vulted. Found Jesus for real this time. Killed a count, but got caught. Now have to kill his son.
STATUS:
Cash: 271
Prestige: 1785
Piety: 655
Ruler age: 52
Heir age: 26, and interestingly, he wants to be Court Chaplain. He has a Learning of 3. Mihangel, I'm sorry, but no. You are quite good at killing things for a living, though. Maybe make a career out of that?
Vassals: Still all good, despite me straight-up murdering a guy a few days ago. Except, of course, for Tewdwr the Traitorous Bastard Who Won't Goddamn Die After Spending Like 7 Years In An Oubliette, and the new Count of Glamorgan, Cawdaf. Do I have to murder your entire House? Because I am OK with that outcome. 1/4 Bishops pay taxes to me.
