Conquest of Portugal and Africa take 2
Soon after finishing the war against Burgundy King Samuil called upon his vassals in Sicily and Spain to muster forces and place them in position. Sicilian army would attack the African possesions and the Spanish army would take care of the rest. After finishing that part the Spanish army would transfer to Africa and take over other Arab Kingdoms. If needed the Venetian army would be on standby in Venice.
Soon the war would be declared.
County of Brescia is giving Croatia some problems. They attacked one of the vassals. Venitian army was raised in the end.
They too would soon embark to Africa.
Samuil got married before declaring war.
He chose a courtier in the court of the Kingdom of France.
Brescia was a piece of cake and Croatia got 2500 gold for peace.
So everything was setup. Samuil declared war.
Nearly whole Iberian was now blue.
The war escalated
Maria the Queen of Croatia and lots of other stuff died in labor with the child. Samuil was sad but he had to find a new wife.
His new wife came from Serbia.
King declared himself Duke of lots of stuff and the King of Portugal.
One Irish man was visiting Croatia. One time he entered a tavern and tried Croatian beer. He was so delighted that he called 2000 of his friends. One time they were rally drunk and Samuil persuaded them to fight for Croatia.
Samuil had a daughter named Dubravka.
Samuil's son got a maid pegnant. Good boy (cost me 1000 gold).
Catalans saw the Irish go so they wanted to come too but they were not needed as all the hostilities were almost finished.
War finished successfully.
Croatia ended up pretty rich. Samuil is now also the King of North Africa.
He handed out a few titles to improve reputations.
Just found out I have two inbred court members.
