Is it normal to have 3Pope?
In a shocking twist, the Holy Colombian Confederacy learned from some ancient texts of the ancient entity known as the Holy Roman Empire. The discovery of the concept known as the "Peace of Westphalia" and the challenge to the President's supposed authority over his Prince's religion led to some of the bloodiest civil war. At the end of the conflict the evangelical faith was all but wiped out, replaced by an Antinomian sect led by a powerful pretender who reunited the Confederacy in the Southwest. The former heartlands of the Confederacy were conquered by, of all factions, the Men in Black. As interesting as that development was, the Americanists across the United States nevertheless declined; being conquered by the Caribbean Empire, or as was the case with the Men in Black, unable to quell the ceaseless revolts and rebellions of the evangelical Princes.
This dude kept launching adventurer wars against me. He was from my dynasty, and was friends with me. I can only imagine how those meetings went, wherein both were living amicably with one another whilst planning the next great war. It worked out for me though, as I did enjoy getting the extra gold he brought with each new army.
Had a minor heart attack when my 66 year old ruler's heir died, and the next heir presumptive was a grandson not of my dynasty - threatening to end the game then and there. Thus I had to assassinate two Kings and one Knight in the span of a year before my ruler died, just barely clearing the line of succession quickly enough to pass it down to my favoured son - a young boy, born of strong traits, who would be the one to turn my Duchy into an Empire. When it came to finding him a teacher I was stunned to see Grigore the Wise. I was very lucky to entrust my heir to Grigore before dying.
Grigore the Wise was the smartest person alive, worshiped Aztec gods and was an angry cyclops who'd been a veteran of many wars all across the USA. Somehow he ended up in the court of Salem, teaching this future Alexander how to rule, command and make battle - and although Grigore the Wise initially disliked my heir, after my heir showed sympathy for Aztec ideas he warmed up and the two became friends. Grigore the Wise died shortly after the conclusion of a successful campaign against the rebels who once belonged to my little Duchy, and by the time of his passing my small realm had 9 out of 10 counties directly administered by my ruler, resulting in my small duchy packing as much punch as many Kingdoms. Which is great, as one of the Kingdoms that previously paid tribute to me, I intend to now swear fealty to - planning to usurp it from within. Yet I shall not forget how Grigore the Wise kept a 6 year old safe from assassins, marshaled his troops, taught him his wisdom and gave the Court something to fear - at a time where the only other source of authority was the Duke's corrupt mother.
Literally the only time a child regency has gone perfectly well in all the time I've played CKII. Grigore the Wise shall be remembered
