Chapter 5 - The Love Story of Oberto and Sancha
On November 6th, 1075, things went from bad to worse for Count Oberto - he fell ill, which made him even more stressed.
In January, his cough worsened, and he caught pneumonia.
In February, his steward decided that the best cure for pneumonia was to talk his ear off about stewardship. (This is one of the nicer events around your higher-skilled council members).
Ironically...this worked! On the bright side, when you get cured of a disease, you don't go back to ill to recover - you just get better. (fine print: this cure may not work in the Byzantine Empire, where a hail of assassinations is rumored to be the cure for what ails you)
In May, Sicily's king passed the Limited Crown Authority law. Whenever I'm asked about these, I approve, since I want lots of authority once I take their kingship.
...unfortunately, increasing Crown Authority led to more illness in July. Being Italian, illness makes Oberto horny.
Having gotten pregnant, Oberto's wife decides to kill him in September...she didn't appreciate getting hit on by a sneezing husband.
Oberto responds in a loving, respectful manner...
In March, 1071, baby Marietta is born in the dungeon. When a baby is born in prison, you have to remember to release them before the -health modifier kills them. On the bright side, you're considered merciful for letting them out (+10 relations for a while to all vassals)!
This is a good sign - my wife is a chaste hedonist!
As Oberto still has a soft spot for his wife, he merely banishes her.
