Wars of House Rocherfort – Chapter XXVII - FINAL
English Invasion of Parsa (Persia) – In the year 1444, Edmund VII, who was already suffering from gonorrhea in addition to being described as a lunatic on certain occasions, takes advantage of his probable last moments to prepare an invasion further to the East, to reach where no other English had arrived, the very lands of the Old Persian Empire, Parthian and Sasanian, surpassing the glory of the Romans, to achieve a declaration of the Pope himself as Roman Emperor.
The armies of Sháh Shahmeer II were preoccupied with other wars, so the English entered much of Persia, conquering several cities and castles until 1445, but did not manage to dominate the capital of the Shahdom.
Western Roman Empire – In 1449, Edmund passes the Imperial Administration Act, a system similar to that of the Roman Empire, with a hierarchy of magistrates and officials carrying out daily business on behalf of the Emperor.

Sháh Gulraiz II of the Tugrulid Shahdom assembles in his capital to avenge the loss of Parsa to the Christians. In the Russian region, Kiev becomes a Pagan Super Kingdom, taking over much of the land previously controlled by the Teutonic Knights. In Italy the republics of Venice, Pisa and Genoa rival the power of the new superpower in the region, Imperium Romanum Pars Occidentis.
