FemK spent the better part of 20 years in hiding, going down her list of known plotters and asking them to stoppit. When/if they refused, she went to imprison them. She had bad intrique, but the intrique bit wasnt what she was after. They would huff and puff and dow me, and Id march my retinue over their capital and take it back. Id keep them in jail, and thus eventually most of the kingdom's nobility rule is in absentia.
This went on until she was about 30, in fact, 34 is when she had a son, and 35 is when the catholics tried to push their luck in germany again. 3 years too late though, and the full weight of 25k levies came down on them with 10k perkunas warband behind them.
I found out that, although the avarian empire was dead, the survivors had formed into small chiefdom-states outside of hungary, ever vigilant for a chance to strike at the christains. They found their chance when 1: I dowed the Teutonic Order of Hungary, and 2: my son dowed bavaria and the giant inbred nest that is Romuva all joined in. The nobles all know each other, and I make a point to try to keep old blood old.
As far as our byzantian friend, the child emperor/king of italy. Welp, he converted the byzantians in all but actuallity. The emperor is catholic, most of the viceroys are catholic, and they are very interested in preventing my access to europe. Though, they lack the punch of the orthodox, most likely due to there still being orthodox rulers, and orthodox counts, and the patricians, and the peasants themselves are less cooperative, and etc.
Still, he waves 22k troops right now, and thats after fighting all manner of silly little wars, so IDK what his actual max is. Its not the 66k Ive seen other emperors pull, but its still weighty.
Since it is almost the 1100s, I guess Ill mention that Ive been converting the far east, slowly. The tenghri religion is faltering, for the time being, under my push.
To the south, a united mali sits, doing nothing like always.
To the less south, the arabs are disjointed. Syria exists as a state, for some reason, carved out of the blob. The cali of spain crapped out and spain is falling back to the christains.
To the north, vikings are losing ground now that Ive assimilated most of scandanavia. The Permians and turkestan exist whole, and the choosen warband was actually just out there beating up perm for a chiefdom.
The russians were united into half an empire, and have since disjointed themselves into a gravel of gavel.
^^^ Dont let the purple fool you - byzantine is a catholic state now.
Madame-Kops firstborn son Pisskop died of the pox after my husband brought it back to us. Ladykop herself died of it after having it for 26 years.
