The Newly Formed Duchy of Bourbon under the Glorius Duke Robert de Limoges in 1165. (Yeah he has a bit of Eastern blood in him)
Started as the Count of Limousin.
Been a pretty bloody campaign so far, the moment one war ends another begins basically. Was pretty slow for my own puny County for most of the early decades, just collecting money and building something (preferbly something that netted me more money) First county was able to claim was Le March. My second province was Lleida which I claimed after a brief holywar with the One Province Muslim faction that owned it. (The holy orders helped with that one)
After that lead to a period of civil wars and Muslim invasions where the entire country was just in utter Chaos. At one point the entire Northwestern part of France was occupied by Muslims. (Even holy orders couldn't help.) Eventually forcing France into defeat a few times (with no territorial loss) Losing those wars with the Muslims did allow the King to reorganize and finally end the Civil war
At this point I started getting Fabricated claims come in, first Bourbon and shortly after Auvergne, both also count under my Duke who didn't really object to my blatant power grabs. With having a Duchy title in my sites but unable to claim it without being under a Duke I declared war, hired some cheap mercs and went to war on my Liege who after losing one Province and his army was quite willing to accept my Independence .(Not really independent but a vassal under the King of France instead) Then all I had to do was colect a few bucks and create the Duchy of Bourbon.
Crappy Quality Picture of the Rest of the World:
Starting off, France and Navarra are the only remaining Christian nations in Iberia, the Reconquista is pretty much stalled as it is right now, though there is always a war between France and someone in Iberia, however it never gets anywhere.
England is doing pretty good, a good portion of the games I've tried before seem to lead to them getting beat up pretty bad with large parts in Norwegian hands but in this game they seem to be doing well.
What happened to Poland? I have no idea.
Rus seems to be growing, as is Hungary.
What the fuck did Georgia do? It seems to own most of Northern Greece including Byzantium, what the fuck.
