Note: I started this game playing as Sweden, And with Scotland AI destroyed England, then i got the idea for this AAR.
PS: My first EUIII AAR!
:D

---------------------------------------------------
Overview

England is not in a good condition, wars, revolts and poor management of budgets have lead to the almost complete collapse of the English Kingdom, With Scotland and Cornwall dominating the isle now.

In 1421, History was changed, when Portugal, ordered the excommunication of the English king.
The swedish king, saw this as an oppurtunity to prove to Europe that Sweden was a strong christian kingdom.
With Scotland, It crushed the English armies, and layed siege to London.
Resulting in the treaty of Edinburgh, In which Scotland annexed Northern and western England, Wales. England was also forced to give independance to Corwall, and had to secede Wessex to it. The following years would see England lose it's navy, its continental territory and Ireland.

Infact, It was a miracle England had survived, When the Northumbrian revolution struck in the north, in 1449, Heretics saw the oppurtunity and struck in the South. England already weakened by defeats in the wars against Scotland and the Scandinavian Alliance, was almost shattered instantly.
It was mere luck that the Scotish king wanted a "play thing" and intervened, crushing the revolts and giving England a second chance.

A map of Northern Europe, About 1455.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now, It looks really bad, with stability being -3, Prestige -99, 3 Legitimacy, and a budget defict.
And hopefully I'l last more than 5 days :p
I've got NO army, and i got no navy.
My goals in the AAR is :
0.Keep the House of Lancaster.
1.Restore England.
2.Conquer Scotland.
3.Conquer Ireland.
4.Form Great Britain.
5. Possible Empire?

-----------------------------------------------------

Henry V, Newly declared king of England, Had to do many tough decisions at the start of his rule.

First of all, He had to face the fact that Scotland was HIS protector, Though he was angry at this, This would mean England would still have a chance.
england02.jpg

"Darn those scotish dogs!"

Secondly, He had to secede territory to Scotland, Lincoln was seceded, Though he lost territory, This sale, gave him enough money to assembling a regiment of longbowmen, and start thinking of regaining Kent from the cultists that ruled there.

He also had trouble gaining support from the nobility, as very few belived he was from the House of Lancaster.

The winter of 1455 was very hard on peasents in East Anglia, as was the taxes.
Finally, In febuary 1456, Heretics lead a massive peasant army on the garrison in Norwich.
The garrison surrendered in may 1456, Mere days before the english regiment in London would be ready for combat.
england03.jpg

(Also seen is the Cornwall submission to Norway.)

Many of the elite in London and other parts of England, feared that the awaited collapse of England was imminent.
However, Henry, stunned the christian world, when he negotiated a "treaty" with the heretic's leader, Malcolm Neville.
The treaty allowed more religious freedom, and animal sacrifice was allowed, but only in Norwich and East Anglia.
And the rebels, were to join the Royal Army.
england04.jpg

(So yeah, the treaty was actully that my nation collapsed. :D)

English economy experienced a period of stability and growth after the treaty.
Henry V could now rest, now that his lands were free of rebellion and instability, and a chest of gold.
He could now afford to look at some of his neighburs, one thing caught his attention.
A patriotic revolt in Cornish wessex, This encouraged him to give foreign support to the rebels.
The revolt failed, but it showed that englishmen missed their country.

English merchants saw a return to the markets of Europe in 1459.
With several arriving in Antwerpen, Burgundy.

england08.jpg


England also sought to free the Ireland, which had been conquered by Brittany in 1436.

england09.jpg

(I love how France, owning just 3 provinces and surronded by other nations, declare war on me with Scotland! xD)

Then, on the 20th of March, in the year 1460.
Henry V recived the note he had feared would arrive almost every day since the beginning of his reign.
Scotland, declared war.
England had reversed the downward spiral, and was beginning to climb towards the top again.
But would the english army be strong enough when Scotland would unleash it's might.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, If i dont win this war, this AAR will be stopped dead in its tracks, which is something i dont intend to do :D

Next update 2 days from now! :)

Good luck.
