Chapter 11: Aintab
As told with many pictures. And a moderate amount of words.

1139-1141
That was not only quick updatically, but temporally as well, as Agrigento was targeted and taken in a single year! Will the next be so easy?

And Aintab, which USED to be an independent Sheikdom, which is like, the best thing that it could have been.
Sadly, some loser Brittanians decided to go crusading and succeeded even! And even more dramatically, it is Stefan's own brother-in-law that now holds Aintab! Or whatever. All these de Cornucopias look the same to me.
And Agrigento is given to the current Diocese Bishop because I'll need the piety to reduce the badboy I gain from claiming and getting provinces in offensive war against fellow Christians, just like I'm about to do now! Well, not right now, but soon...
I've heard of characters taking after their parents, but taking after the player playing the game? Heh.
All right, now Aargau can Build Large Ships to sail up and down the vast body of water that is the Bodensee!
And Bodil Knytling, long-serving, long-suffering Knytling spy master, is dead.
She is replaced by a fellow Scandinavian.
Yeah take THAT thieves!
And I get a new ecclesiastically-educated guy.
And make him my Marshal. Also I marry Ute von Habsburg to him, who only recently grew into a marriagable age.
What will the Habsburgs do about their shortage of ecclesiastically educated court members? Will a newly-conquered province ever not be turned into a bishopric when it can? And will Aintab be easy to conquer, or will the Brittanians put up a fight? And is that question necessary, considering that the Duchy of Abydos's main provinces are much closer to Aintab than Brittany's, and that their name is Brittany! Brittany, for God's sake! That's a girl's name! Tune in next time and see what will happen in the next exciting episode of Real Men Do It Alphabetically, an AARgau!

Apparently, real men do it with Knýtling girls for like 60 years.
