Things seem stable for the moment. No doubt that's because events are about to spiral out of control.

Great chapter, though I think the Crown of Aquitaine might bring trouble with it.
Looks like you'll soon be the "Grandfather of Europe".
Hmm, what makes you believe that? Since I know what is going to happen all the way to 1453, I really hope I'm not too misleading or too forthcoming about future events... It wouldn't be much fun to reveal all my secrets so soon!
I just said that since Queen Victoria was called the 'Grandmother of Europe" since her children and grandchildren married into many of the European royal families; which it seems the d'Ivereas also seem to be doing.
Congratulations on your award, it is very well deserved.
This is really terrific stuff; the first CKII AAR I've read in a while, and an excellent one. Keep up the good work!
I came here via WotW, and I'm glad I did. I just spent the morning and part of the afternoon burning through your AAR and want to congratulate you on an enthralling slice of history. Earlier on your mentioned English was your second language. Could have fooled me. Anyway, I'll be following this from now on.
Time to restore some order to Iberia I hope! You seem to be having some dreadful luck with your family though. Funny, when you think about it; mighty France is not threatened destruction by a more powerful rival, but is threatened destruction because the future King can't get his motor running. Well, maybe the new wife will manage a few offspring yet.
Nice job with the crusade. There's certainly a cloud on the succession though, you've got to love the AI choice of brides.
Congrats on a successful crusade. Violante I “Ironside” sounds like a potential force to be reckoned with.
