1066-1067
Allow me to introduce myself! I am Robert, Prince of the Blood Royal. After my dad - King Robert II - died, my brother Henry got France. Feeling more than a little put off (goddamn primogeniture) I rebelled, and my brother gave me Burgundy if I'd leave him the hell alone.
To help keep the peace, I got some vassals. Let's meet 'em!

This is Guillaume de Nevers. He rules Nevers and Auxerre. He's rude, but kind of a good soldier.
This is Hugues. He's kind of like Nevers. He even stole his Coat of Arms.
This 11 year-old is a better battlefield commander than me. He also grows up into quite the little d%#&$bag.
And here is my darling nephew King Phillip I. I call him Phil.

The wife. Woof.
Glad that stuff's out of the way. Now I can get to turning my duchy into a powerhouse! We'll start by building a forestry, to let the peasants sell wood, or something. Whatever. It makes money. This is only a minor step of course, so much left to do! I can raise an army! I can go on crusade! I can foment rebellion! I can --
Die? Are you #$%^ing serious? All I did was build a %$^@ing forestry! I have pathos to explore! Backstory! And my grand achievement is building a forestry?! Weak.
Hughghghg.....blegggghh....
