The lionhearted's fate:

For such a brave and noble man, King Richard's death came about in a rather strange way. In Chalus, Aquitaine, a peasant plowing his fields came upon a treasure. This treasure consisted of some gold statues and coins. The feudal lord claimed the treasure from his vassal, Richard in turn claimed the treasure from the lord, who refused. This prompted Richard to siege the village.


During the siege Richard was riding close to the castle without the protection of full armor. He spotted an archer with bow in hand on the wall aiming a shot at him. It is said Richard paused to applaud the Bowman. He was struck in the shoulder with the arrow and refused treatment for his wound. Infection set in and Richard the Lionheart died on April the 6th 1199. He was buried in the Fontvraud Abbey in Anjou France.


I believe he knighted the bowmen before his death :wacko: Yeah, realy he aplauded him even after being shot.

Yep, its from his speech at the convention. I don't trust the man as far as I can throw him, but he can turn a decent phrase, and I rather liked it. But when I was 10 I told my parents not to vote for Clinton because he was a phoney after they made me watch a Clinton/Bush/Perot debate. They voted for Perot :D

I live in Cleveland, so I'm in a swing state! My vote matters more than yours! Nyah nyah! :rofl:

No, we've created our own fictional brother. Named Shirkuh, after Saladin's uncle.

On the subject of the character sheet, I've completed a (very) rough draft, which can be found here.

Let me know if I've forgotten you, or if there's a blank for your character, tell me what to fill it in with.

minor correction, Alv is norwegian :)

Remeber that character list I send you originally? do you still want the last two groups around? The ones on horse could easily be piccked up in the Holy land

My post is up....

Some of you are NOT using the time/date and location 'stamp' that is standard. Such as April 11, 1189 which is the current date of the story. And location of course. Please adjust your posts accordingly if you would. And PLEASE try to remember to do so in the future. Thank you.

Phalanx, I know I still owe you a PM..

Amric good show :) Did the knights use Sergeants? I mean they would have their retainers, squires men at arms, and command them, but as a whole i thought part of the limitation of knights where there individuality, that they charge individually, and not until EU2 times work as a coherent unit...

Notable exception being the Templars and other knight orders :)

EDIT, any one remember if it is Tyre or Acre that the Hospitallers withdrew to after Hattin?

Barkdreg, good to have you aboard, but next time you want to write anything so tied up with the background/plot, run it by me first.

sorry about that, I didn't intend to do anything with the Pope sending me
it just looked like the most likely employer for my mercenary band
I'm not going to have my band do some secret mission for the Pope
(unless you want me too :) )

V- If you noticed, the Dane has his own retainers<which is played by you>, the Pole has his own retainers, which is why the two of them would be natural 'sergeants'. Is that the name I will use for them? Since they are knights, probably not. Just a good catch all for now. I might though. Depends. The other three, not having retainers of their own would make natural leader types.

Phalanx and I spoke of this early on before the story ever got started, and I stated that I would attempt to mould the knights into a more cohesive unit. Instead of dribble drab charging which is so typical of the time, I wanted to be more cohesive. I explained that dribble drabbing would be suicidal against the Saracens as they would just overwhelm individual knights. Alexandre's experience in the Holy Land would have taught him that, which is why he wants to try something a bit different.

“You have enough,” Walker spat out a stream of wine at a nearby fly, ripping it out of it’s flight pattern.
:rofl:

Good aim.

-Anyways, will Lt. Walker be hopping aboard the boats and joining the Company in the Holy Land, or will he be staying behind?
