Update: I will finish the next chapter, this week. Just had little time this week and last to write. Though summer starts next week, so I will have a lot more time to play and write.

So how well are the Christians doing in Iberia against the Muslims? I imagine there's a lot of holy wars going on over there that Castile will drag you into.
It's probably a good thing Prince Boehemond died as a child. I can just imagine the chaos caused by a twin being the heir to the throne. Never know when the younger twin might just knock off the older one and take his place without anyone knowing.
William is probably one of the best diplomats alive at this point... I think the crusades are going to make Sicily a powerhouse...
I will have to check on that, he should be in the top 10 at least. Sicily is powerful, though it might be difficult for me to get the Holy Land and actually hold it against the Muslims...
Speaking of the Holy Land, what ever happened to that Irish king of Jerusalem? I can't remember if you've said he's still there or not.
I'd advice to go for Jerusalem, then vassalize those holy orders and conquering Eqypt on the Shi'ites (since everyone hates 'em at this point) and then Africa. The Seljuks will give you hell though, 'tis true . Sicily is in a great position to utilize crusades, but not to conquer their Christian neighbors (who are probably under the HRE umbrella?)
Well who'd expect anyone with a name like Flaith Roger to be good at anything.
It all depends on how uppity your vassals are. If they're considering rebellion, consolidate; if they're loyal, expand.
HIP, has titles before the respective name, in this instance, flaith means Roger is an Irish Duke, I did not name him that...
Good advice, but I have no concrete idea were to expand too.. Africa maybe, or perhaps the holy land...
One man´s death is another man´s bread, as we say in the Netherlands. (Meaning that Jerusalem is now, of course, awaiting your glorious conquest )
