Update incoming!
Synopsis: Still alive at age 5. I stopped playing when Jihad was declared to take our Jerusalem.
The Diary of Prince Pal of Norge, Father to the Duchess Maria III note that my darling daughter has more forces than my relatives in Norway, but she is unable to use them to press my claims until her damnable regency is ended. So, I must ensure her survival until she reaches 16, and pray that she rewards me for my efforts.
First thing we do is remove the Quack that killed Maria's mother.
And we're rid of him.
This vassal is envious, and could prove
troublesome in the future, so I ensure he learns from a more content courtier.
Poor girl, this is the last of your family. And if you should have more than one child, then the Pope shall have many vassals when they inherit. I, of course, inherit nothing.
Unfortunately, this jealous man, who wants your primary duchy, is your regent. We will have to fix that, if you are to survive with your lands intact.
And now you are all alone, my child, except for me. As an illegitimate child, we are both alone with our dynasties.
Your illustrious family tree.
And the counsel wishes for more power. A perfect opportunity to remove your unfaithful regent!
Well, this is embarrassing, although fortunate. It appears that I am now the regent.
We need a new Court Physician. Although I qualify, the previous holder tarnished the name, so I allow a colleague who enjoys reading up on this sort of thing to take the position instead.
The False Regent falls.
Unfortunately, I can not handle all the lands that my daughter is entitled to, so I must make the hard choices of whom to delegate some of them to. This decisions is easier than most: This rather unassuming young man is the heir to the barony of one of my more stubborn Lord Mayors. If I simply make him a Count, my Lord Mayor should encounter some...difficulties...in the future.
Unsuitable accommodations, you say? I quite agree. Thank you for reminding me that I forgot to put you in the Oubliette. I shall see to correcting that shortly.
(same for all the dirty traitors)
Our beloved ruler and Pope is at war, we rush to the defense.
We must remain ever vigilant of contagion. A disease broke out in one of our provinces! Thankfully, we no longer inhabit Italy, God be Praised!
We get a new Pope and Liege, and he wants direct control of one of my daughter's Counts. He also recently passed the Title Revocation Law. I feel it best to give in to his demand, as I don't want His Holiness to feel the need to otherwise act against our wishes (he is also my daughter's heir). The counsel agrees.
I tried to avoid this, I really had, but it appears that I must become caretaker of not only my daughter's realm, but her health as well. May God give me strength!
A Jihad is called against us. I must see to the defense of my daughter's realm. She needs the massive levies that come with defense of the Holy Land upon her majority.
Have a map of our lands, of which I have not dared to expand.
...Sorry about the picture sizes. Not only do I not know which size is best (readable versus too big), but it takes soooo long to upload them I'm leary of having to do them allll over again.
