Rex Tutonicorum - An Altmark/Brandenburg CKII AAR - Count to King

Ok, the Kingdom of Pomerania, at the time of writing we can claim this - theres just one small problem - i have to convert to Paganism to take it. That leaves me open to an ass kicking from anyone that wants a piece of me and a Crusade if i get too powerful - not the best idea yet

Go steady with the eating and dancing mate, he's not as young as he used to be.........

[undercovergeek]

.....youre not too far away there Bob

Kingdom of Bavaria - no great super power here, a good possibility for the next step

[undercovergeek]

The big one, the Kingdom of Germany - in the North the House of Brunswick, in the South the lands of the HRE himself

[undercovergeek]

......and the Kingdom of Lotharingia in the south west corner

[undercovergeek]

Next door - the Kingdom of Bohemia

Mayor Otto takes a disliking to the ageing Princess Uraka of Navarre - cant fathom why

[undercovergeek]

Its the Marshall too - clangggggggggggg!

From a purely RPG point of view, shes a distinguished old lady from Spain, i dragged her ass to Germany to marry one of the council, i at least owe her some protection from a crazy German marshall

These are my immediate neighbours and seem to be pointing south, in the right direction for me to work my way down towards the Kingdom of Bavaria

My 'beautiful', moustachioed, lesbian wife and mother of my grandchildren, Duchess of Meissen - dies at 37. There was no plot, id just checked, seems the randy old sod at 83 had simply worn her out.

Most important of all the Duchy stays in the family and passes to me

[undercovergeek]

2 weeks later................ obviously a broken heart - he loved that big ex daughter in law Lesbian he did

[undercovergeek]

Hmmmmm, not the best start.................

Bedrich inherits the Duchies but Uncle Poppo in Lausitz next to Meissen doesnt approve, and neither does his ally in Weimar to the West - theres a lot of ill feeling in the realm. Im Pomeranian and not German like they are, im a kid and new to the top job, and i have double my demesne allowance - most of my vassals have a negative score against me of 65% - rebellion is in the air.

First things first, a wife - she has a claim on the county of Kempten in the North of Bavaria - she'll do for now

[undercovergeek]

Dammit, i have a feeling theres going to be a lot of these

[undercovergeek]

The armies are called forward to deal with the rebellion in Weimar and the, ummm slightly annoyed dinner party of Uncle Poppo in Lausitz
