Description

playing crusader kings 2 again, this time as anglo-saxon England (AKA Aenglaland) and a funny thing happened. i got an event where a woman named Saethryth came to my court. whe had heard "the voice of jesus" which makes you a military mastermind (idk how that one works) but yeah, few severl years she infuriated most of my feudal and clergy vassals by being the greatest military mastermind since Julius Caesar AND incredibly zealous, so much so that many of my courtiers and myself became zealous as a result.

over time she got all my vassals pissed at me because i wouldn't browbeat or imprison her until i finally got the chance to knight her and put their superiority complexes to rest. (the Joan of Arc reference being most of the above minus surviving to the bitter end)

and then she died of The Consumption (tuberculosis). ...shit.

still, the normans and norwegians have been fended off, my unruly vassals pacified, and my dynasty secure; so i'd say she was awesome and badass, which for a woman in the late 11th century is pretty cool.

Thats pretty awesome, my current game has been pretty quiet on events like that.
Playing as Anglo-Saxon Jewish and formed a massive Empire (Empire of Masada) that has British Isles, France, Spain,Mauritania, Africa, egypt, Abyssinia, and all the way up to india, my goal is to wipe out the other Abrahamic Faiths.
Catholic is now a heresy with the orthodox being Cathar, centred in the Kingdom of Italy, which I only had an indirect effect on creating, what with all those holy wars against the Catholics...

Crusader Kings the game where your morals are chucked out the window...
