scheming and plotting? Turns out my niece, the Duchess of Hwicce and my sworn vassal, is considered the head of our dynasty since she had a dozen or so more troops than me when my brother died. Suddenly, I get a messenger: my dynasty is now known for a legacy of. He will find a way to finish the transfer to our new capital duchy, and strengthen it so he will not need 10 counties to raise a decent army like me. I knew my son would prefer to have Essex, but custom dictates he should take Wessex alongside our capital in Middlesex. Soon, my realm would be divided into many duchies ruled by my family.

Upon returning with my massive army, the Duke of Mercia finally caved in and swore fealty to me. In two years' time my matrilineally-wed daughter was crowned Queen of Galicia, though I paid dearly for it, leaving an eye and leg in Spain.

Somewhat embarassed and confused as to why I found myself fighting Swedish soldiers here, too, I gave up besieging and started head on battles. As a king I found a new appreciation for catapults, but due to logistical confusion they were left in England. With the northmen driven out of England and allies all around, I set out for Iberia. Lo and behold, who is at the feast but my ex-wife, taken by berserkers so long ago? Most say the daughter born of that night is a bastard, but I say the Norse are the bastards.ДЄ new crusade was called for Galicia. To release some of the stress built up from losing my brother, losing his namesake in battle, losing my wife, and not to mention raising 6 sons and 5 daughters in a warzone, I held a feast. I returned the title of Hwicce to my niece shortly thereafter. After fabricating a claim on the duchy of Hwicce and vassalizing my niece, I tookthe crown. Rushing in, I barely took over the holdings they had claimed in time, but I did manage and now I nearly had enough under my belt to declare myself King of England. Retaking East Anglia put me in range to compete with Mercia in the Holy War for York. That was a disaster, they were never seen again. Around this time we had our first crusade for Syria, which I sent some soldiers to. East Anglia did not withstand the onslaught, but I took back what they lost, wresting control of all of southern England besides Mercia and Hwicce. Humiliated, I married my children for alliances with my rivals (Mercia, East Anglia, and Gwynedd) and formed a bloc powerful enough to challenge the Swedish for our shores. I lost badly, and my wife was taken as a concubine.

Finally, I feel ready to drive the vikings out of the southeast. I consolidate power in the south of the isles, reaching from Cornwall to Essex. A cruel man would seek her titles, but I would die of stress if I did that could never do such a thing. Fearing the worst, I name my second son for him, and soon after he dies with no son leaving his duchy to my niece. My family manages to keep the vikings out of Mercia, though shortly thereafter my brother gets cancer. Starting my first non Mumu game as the Duke of Wessex during the viking invasion of the British Isles.
