D. Pedro – The Diplomat
In the Year of Our Lord 1444, Kind D. Pedro rules Portugal with the counsellors Theologian Administrator Rafael Brito (+2), and the military commander Sebastiao Faria (+1).
Arnaldo Fernandes, a navigator is discharged from the service of the court, due to excessive navigators.
This is the official history, but some say that it was due to rivalry about a woman.
To assert the house of Avis, D. Pedro had the need to create good relations with the countries of the Iberian Peninsula, Castile and Aragon.
He decided to seal an alliance with Castile marrying him with the oldest child of Castile, Maria and his daughter Maria with Ferdinand of Aragon. They call the Maria’s weddings.
D Pedro established as objective to gain ground against the infidel Moors and Morocco is the closest infidel.
It set them as is main Rival and target.
To fortify Christianity he took the decision “Advancement of Religion Act” that helps the missionaries converting the non-Cristian population.
The problem with this act, were that revolts were more likely to happen and did not immediate happen in Ceuta, because twelve revolt regiments were bribed with 30 ducats.
Some Nobles in Ceuta, ally with Morocco.
D. Pedro believing that these men were accomplices with the previews revolt attempted had them hang and insults Morocco’s for complicity.
After that, it took one year to prepare the army, and on the 27th June 1447 with the help of our new ally, Castile, Portugal declares war on Morocco.
14.000 men and 4.000 Knights lead by Dom Álvaro Vaz de Almada left Ceuta to win the battle of Casablanca, killing 5.000 Moroccans at the expense of 1.578 Portuguese men.
In Ceuta, the victory had a cost, more causalities than the Moroccans. D. Álvaro lost more than half of his cavalry.
But he chases them and in Ifni all were killed, leaving no one alive.
The Nobles continues to raise problems and instability.
To try to erase some of it, D. Pedro had to pay 78,35 ducats (loosing just 1 stability)
In December, after 197 days of siege, Tangier is Portuguese.
The Moroccan Barque that was there were intercepted when trying to escape and sunk.
The problem with the Family Secret, Inês de Castro causes a loss of the King prestige.
After more than a year of siege, on 17th February 1449, Casablanca, finally succumbed.
In November Marrakech with a siege that last less than a year, also succumbed.
On 9th November 1449 Azores is strike by Plague.
The King decides to do nothing. Sending 50 ducats (almost all kingdom treasure) to help them at this time, it hasn’t a possibility.
After the fall of Sus, in March 1450 Morocco accepts peace ceding Casablanca, Tangier and renouncing Ceuta.
D. Pedro didn’t forget is allied, and reword Castile with Melilla.
2 Years and 9 month took the war.
Algiers enters into a Military Coalition against Portugal.
Instead of being worried, the Kind decided to take advantage of the situation and soon after, it declares war on Granada. Once again, Castile had answered the call.
Granada was allied with Algiers and Morocco, but since Morocco had made peace, the King thought that they wouldn’t ally with them, for the sake of their stability.
He was wrong.
Two Barque in the Straits of Gibraltar were sunk by the Portuguese navy.
Bourgeoisie Request Privileges.
The Bourgeoisie class had grown increasingly resentful of the power of the noble families and particularly their lack of opportunities in the higher ranks of government. Their only route into power is to marry into poor but well titled noble families or try open positions in government circles.
The Kind deny that privileges losing some (50) administrative power in the Bourgeoisie protests.
Nobility is not something that people buy, said the King.
The King of England wish to enter a Royal Marriage with Portugal and D. Pedro accepted.
Taking advantage of the poor transport capability that Portugal had, when the man attacked Gibraltar, the Algiers attacked the small army left behind in Tangier.
3.000 men were slaughtered in the hands of 11.000 Algerians (6.000 men and 5.000 Calvary).
Ahmad II took the first victory and the first Portuguese defeat.
The King would take is revenge, but in that moment the only thing that was done against the Algiers was to blockade the Gulf of Almeria and with Castile sunk one Algiers Barque.
After sieging Gibraltar and Castile sieging two Granada provinces, 9.000 men landed in Casablanca, but the Algiers and Morocco with 11.000 men, attacked them.
Despite being outnumbered, Portuguese army were best and in their favour, had the defensive side of the river.
Gibraltar took 331 days to be taken.
After that, the King decided to make peace with Granada.
They cede Gibraltar to Portugal and Almeria to Castile.
The King never forgot is friends … and family.
The war lasted just 1 year and 1 month.
Never the less, many Castilians think that Melilla was a poison gift.
One revolt of 7 Regiments was assaulting the castle.
One new advance in administrative technology takes us to the Exploration Ideas.
We now have Colonists to colonize native land.
Algiers mark Castile as Rival and Castile mark France as Rival.
Now that Portugal is finally at peace, the Statesman Vicente Lemos de Brito, a diplomatic relation is hired.
Although the King don’t wish to join another war, he invest in the Last Jousting Tournament.
Never the less, this new tactics were employed against the natives of Rio de Oro and after crushing all of them, the colonies travel to there.
In the next years, the Prestige of the King took same damage with a production research flawed, but is brother; D. Duarte de Avis manage in the next 20 years to gain prestige (+1x20).
Now, the relation with Castile had taken a bump.
Taking Gibraltar to our Kingdom was good to better control both straits (Gibraltar and Ceuta) and gain more trade power (46% of Sevilla trade), but Castile (that also have 46%) believes that Gibraltar belongs to them and giving two provinces doesn’t seem to satisfy them.
In March of 1454, Gibraltar is considered part of Portuguese patrimony.
Furthermore, because the rebels took Melina, Castile think that it was a poisoned gift.
Unwilling or unable to defend Melina, they join Morocco in 3 November of 1454.
After the settles starts colonizing Rio de Oro the colonial company goes bankrupt, to prevent half the population come back to the mainland, 50 ducats are spent to help them.
On the 21 of May, o Prince Fernando), was considered by the Holy Pope, Saint bringing stability to Portugal.
In this time of peace, a Royal Marriage with the Kingdom of Naples is consummate.
16 April of 1455 Casablanca is also consider part of patrimony.
On August Gibraltar receives is first missionaries to convert the muslins in to Christians.
And in 1456 Algiers failing in the attempt that anyone joins the coalition against Portugal, give up.
… and we used it Caution (+10 Diplomatic Power)
… more man to Portuguese ranks.
6 Rebel Regiments appear in Casablanca in April. They wished to join Morocco.
The King did now act according and they recruited 6 more Regiments in August.
In September, 15 Portuguese Regiments slaughtered them without any mercy.
One month later, Castile that starts the “Castilian Reconquest of Granada” ask for Portuguese help.

Just a few well-received AARs that otherwise took way too long to complete...
