You changed the duchy because you don't have anywhere to expand in the north?

Go native Copt orthodox and revive Nubia! And go Arab culture, cuz without a Polish province, all your provinces will stay Arabic anyway!
Gdańsk (Danzig) is polish. But that is under control of Wilkosz. :/
And I have the strange feeling you don't like polish people after I brutally destroyed and sacked Constantinople in my AAR.
I'm chill with the Poles (except in Historia Slovakae, where I antagonize Poland for fun). Someone needs to balance nationalism.
Besides, in my AAR, the Poles will end up being a parent state of a major Slavic power. And since Danzig is under Wilkosz, no Cairoite provinces can become polish.
As for Constantinople, there will be a Bard in my AAR. And he will suffer. But the Poles won't suffer too much. At least they won't be divided up.

He won't. I'll keep an eye on him
I do but I was tired of constant Euro wars I wanted to go on a crusade and start a crusader state for once
hehe well Nubia is up for grabs I already have 2 out of the 5 provinces

Chapter Six
Lambert Labedz (Lambert Swan)
1105 - ... Duke of Cairo
Lambert Labedz (Lambert Swan)
1105 - ... Duke of Cairo
Years 1103-1114
Conquest of Egypt
The first two years of Lambert's reign ware pretty uneventful.
The muslims ware destroyed in Egypt and the Knights ware conquering the remaining sultans in the Holy Land.
But in the year 1105 Lambert received terrible news, his youngest brother and heir Konrad died suddenly of an illness. The Duchy would now pass onto his older brother upon his death. As Lambert knew that it would destroy his newly created Crusader State he wed for the third time. He was already 34 years old and still with no sons of his own.
His eyes fell on an independent county north of Cairo.
Ermengaud de Lomagne, count of Pelusia had a brilliant young unmarried sister.
Ermengaud de Lomagne
Duchess Blanca
They married in June and in 1107 Blanca gave birth to a daughter.
The same year Ermengaud agreed to become a vassal of Lambert.
But it wasn't enough. In October Lambert lunched a campaign against the independent infant Count of Buhariya and he vassalised him.
Baudoin de la Marche, the infant Count
In these years Lambert became an indulgent and lustful ruler. He had many affairs with countless courtiers. But despite that his wife gave birth to a daughter every year. But Lambert wanted a son.
In 1110 Count of Gizah revolted from the King of England and asked Lambert for protection. The Norman count accepted Lambert as his liege and Lambert's realm expanded with another province.
Frery de Stafford, Norman Count
He was named Casimir after his grandfather and the first Swan.
The following years ware of greatest importance for Lambert.
An opportunity arose when the Sheik of Quattara revolted. The army of the Duke of Cairo quickly conquered the Sheik. The same year brothers de Parthenay who controlled Alexandria and Gabiyaha revolted from King of France.
Lambert chose his moment wisely and attacked the brothers. After two years of siege Alexandira fell to Lambert who took the great city for himself.
The older brother Louis agreed to become a vassal of Lambert.
Louis de Parthenay
After eleven years Lambert conquered nearly every lord in Egypt. Either by war or diplomacy, none was stronger than him. And so after some negotiation and a sum of 500 gold Lambert crowned himself King of Egypt in his new capital Alexandria. He was 41 years old at the time of coronation.
King Lambert I of Egypt
There is no Swan dynasty. He modded it in. And to make more sense, he named it Łabędź as that makes more sense for a polish noble.
a kingdom! so the links with Poland has been severed
now i understand why you preferred Egypt to the Baltic; not only it is warmer but aslo there's much more going around

Why not mod Lambedz as Swan?
A nice AAR!
Yep why would they call themselves Swan in Poland? maybe Cygne (french) eventually after their departure to Crusader state.
Yep

It's definitely something new for me
After more than a month I will finally continue the AAR

1105 - Duke of Cairo
Years 1114-1124
Peace and Prosperity
Shortly after Lamberts coronation as King he made his father in law Ermengaud the Duke of Damietta
The new Duke of Damietta
In October of 1114 there was more good news for the newly crowned King. His second son was born securing his line of succession. He was named Sulislaw. Sulislaw was the first Swan to be born in the city of the Great Alexander.
The Swan Rebellion
In 1115 Wikosz Labedz the brother of our King declared independence from the new Polish King Zbigniew the First. Th war was short and after the capture of Krakow (April 1115) by Wikosz the inexperienced King accepted the loss of Pomeralia. The independence ended with the death of Wikosz. His successor and first born son Jacek accepted King Zbigniew as his liege in 1122.
Second Crusade
The Kingship of Lambert was pretty uneventful from domestic point of view but the world around Egypt was chaotic. The Crusade to Jerusalem was ended by the Pope in 1120. Only two years later the Second Crusade was called to liberate Burgos from Andalusians. The Rulers of Europe ware gathering their armies for War against the infidels.

Chapter Eight

1114 - King Of Egypt
1105 - Duke of Cairo
Lambert I Labedz (Lambert Swan)
1114 - King Of Egypt
1105 - Duke of Cairo
Years 1124-1127
The Death of King Lambert I
The last three years of King Lamberts rule started with an end of a crusade and a call for a new one. The Pope decided that Iberia is lost for now to the infidels and Christians should first reconquer Constantinople. Many Kings answered the call to go on a Crusade to the capital of the Turks. Something that didn't happen in the Second Crusade. Among them King of Poland, King of England and the Holy Roman Emperor.
Order of Saint Wojciech
In the year 1125 the War Academy was finally finished in Alexandria. The King ordered the build of the Academy to attract Knights from Poland and other European countries and even some locals to make Knights out of them.
He started the Order of Saint Wojciech. (Saint Adalbert of Prague) Named after the Saint who tried to convert the Baltic Pagans. A fitting choice if you look at the position the King was in. Surrounded by muslims in a strange world.
The Accident
A year after Casimir's 16th birthday he decided that he waited long enough for his father to die so that he could claim what was rightfully his. The Crown.
In July while hunting some game, Siemowit killed the King with his own bow making it look like an accident. While back in Alexandria Siemowit realized quickly that Casimir never intended to give any land to him. Ashamed of his actions and afraid for his life he left the court to the Duke of Damietta the father in law of the old King who would be more than pleased to hear the story.
Back in Alexandria, Casimir the First of that name was crowned King of Egypt.
indeed show us Kazimierz's traits and stats; as for his fase he's the proud owner of so Polish moustache
