Historia Slovakæ


My hope is for this adventure to be a history-book style AAR. Of course, most of my attempts at this dissolve into gameplay, but hey, this one just might work! Now, i'll be very frank with you, the reader, don't expect regular updates like with Ireland, Awake! because I simply don't have the time. Everyone has extra creative juices, and this AAR is where I'll be depositing mine...

Praise for Historia Slovakæ:


This is quite good. The language is engaging, the updates are brief enough to be readable, and the story is fun. I love this Vladjo, I love the dry humor, and I like how you credibly age him throughout the story. I also like the injection of a bit of roleplay into your royal marriage decisions. This is the best AAR I've seen from you.

Aha!

I love this King. The man has balls to spare.

Nice work, demokratic[kid]! I like your writing, your maps, and your interesting alternate history -- especially where Byzantium and the Ottomans are concerned.

Great! Unlike you, I am a lousy commentator, but I really enjoyed Ireland Awake, so count me in!

Thank you Alfred, it'll be great to have you along! :D

Finally the great democratickid comes to EU3 with an AAR. Good luck!

Thank you, Qorten!

Yup, self-added. I wouldn't reccomend my mods for it, though, because I'm still working through all the kinks. I've had CTD three times now, but I think I got it fixed OK... I hope it's interesting! :D

Vladjo I
Part One, 1366-1398
~In which a lesser noble bests a Kingdom~


Albrecht_Achilles.jpg
Vladjo I, King of Slovakia, at age 30.

Vladjo I, Rex Slovakæ, was born Vladjo of Presov in the City of Presov within the Kingdom of Hungary. His birth on the feast day of St. Ignatius*, the bishop/martyr of Antioch, in the year 1366 brought much joy to his deeply religious father Marian. Vladjo’s parents, as far as reliable sources can tell, were from the lower gentry. Being full-blooded Slavs, they were an exception to the almost exclusively Hungarian ruling class in Slovakia. Both father Marian and mother Timnia had been born into the lifestyle of the nobility, and even though they did not have vast wealth, they managed to educate young Vladjo very well, with him attending the Charles University in Prague for several years. At Charles, Vladjo is reported to have excelled in debate and fencing, but lacked much arithmetical ability.

Upon graduation from Charles University in 1384, Vladjo returned home to Presov to live out the quiet life of a noble, perhaps making his mark in some way by the time he died. However, the great hand of fate touched Vladjo in spring of 1397. King Sigismund of Hungary had spent the first decade of his reign spending lavish amounts on gifts to courtiers and fruitless wars against minor Balkan powers and the King of Bohemia. Thus, the nearly-bankrupt King Sigismund started to oppressively tax the population and the nobles. This last tax was completely unique, as no Hungarian King had attempted to tax his nobles more than the customary pittance paid at Michaelmas**. Alienating all key supporters, most of Hungary revolted in early 1395. Vladjo was initially reluctant to act, for his father had just died and his mother was still in mourning, but on April 30, 1397, Vladjo was approached by a group of intellectuals, some of which he knew from Charles University, and his brother Vaclav. Vaclav, though the younger brother, had been the pride of the family much to Vladjo’s ire. Vaclav started life as a priest in 1387 and by using his political skill had worked his way up to Archbishop of Pressburg in 1394

The group that approached Vladjo that day begged for him to lead a revolt of the Slovaks against Sigismund. The normally headstrong Vladjo agreed almost immediately upon the condition that he would become King of Slovakia if the revolt would succeed. Vaclav acquiesced and the bargain was made official by oath. The next day, Vladjo rose in revolt with 200 knights, proclaiming them the Army of the Kingdom of Slovakia. Sigismund initially laughed the revolt off, and continued to focus on the more serious threats coming from the Ottoman and Serbian-backed army which was running amok in the Banat.
Over the several months, Vladjo slowly gained more support from the native Slovaks. One of the biggest modifying factors in Vladjo’s early supporting campaigns was the simple fact that he spoke the native Slovak language, something most Hungarian overlords refused to do. As such, thousands and thousands flocked to his banner and by October of 1397, he had an army of 4,000 men. Even with winter fast approaching, Vladjo marched and secured many parts of Ruthenia and East Slovakia. Wintering in Kosice from December-February, he spent the time in Kosice composing several letters to the Pope Boniface IX in Rome, and Benedict XIII in Avignon.

This is considered to be his greatest diplomatic masterstroke, for in those letters were carefully worded, but non-committal declarations of loyalty to their cause in exchange for granting Vladjo the right to be King of Slovakia. Their reply was received while Vladjo was besieging the Royally-held city of Bratislava. Both said yes to his request in exchange we would divert some of the yearly revenue to their causes. Ignoring this last condition, Vladjo went ahead and waved the Pope’s declaration in Sigismund’s face, who was suddenly too paralyzed to act. He didn’t want to anger either the pope or his very Catholic subjects, so he watched in impotence as Bratislava fell on June 5, 1398. The next day, Archbishop Vaclav crowned his brother Vladjo I, Rex Slovakæ.

Central Europe as of June 5, 1398

Vladjo was only 32, and yet he had bested one of the greatest Kingdoms in Europe with an army less than one-fourth the size of the city of Pest. This would not be his only triumph, for Slovakia had many good years ahead of her.


*February 1st is the Feast of St. Ignatius according to the pre-1570 liturgical calender
**Michaelmas was traditionally held on 11 October (10 October according to some sources) in Medieval Europe.

You're surrounded by powerful countries, so getting some good alliances will be key, I think.

Yup, alliances will be my top priority. The poles seem to be the most powerful, while the Hungarians the most vengeful! :D

Huray! Viva la Revolution! Vila la Slovakia!

:D :D

Alright, made some minor changes like changing Vladjo's portrait. That's all! :D
 
Za slobodu! Teraz je treba zmiesť Maďarov zo zeme! :D

Seriously, what's your plan? What do you want to achieve?
 
is there actually a rebel slovakia, or did you mod it in?

A very, very bad mod... :D Let's just say I won't be a proffessional moddAAR anytime soon... ;)

Really nice start.

Thanks, sir!

Za slobodu! Teraz je treba zmiesť Maďarov zo zeme! :D

Seriously, what's your plan? What do you want to achieve?

:D My plan is to achieve hegemony in Central Europe, while at the same time avoiding the big dogs like Poland-Lithuania and the OE as much as possible. No WC here... :D
