Τhe once proud Empire is fading as invaders both fro the East and the West have grabed parts of their lands...I should keep an eye there to prevent the Turks reach the evil Golden horde and create havoc at our south borders...But to be honest my ambitons guide me there too....
A messenger arrived at Krakow today! He was sent by the Holy father to ask for our participation to the holy duty of Jerusalem's liberation.Unfortunately my merchants inform me that we should face in this case a united front of Musli realms to achieve our goal....
After some thoughts I decided to join the Crusade after I was informed that King of France also joined raising our hopes for victory alongside with his sidekicks neighbouring Dukes....But it was also a clever way to gain our priesthood's heart that is still cold towards my rule after some unlucky actions of my youth.....
We were also called by our Hungarian allies to help them claim Usora .I think that we could lend a hand since we should travel through their lands to reach Jerusalem ....
\As if we had not enough problems already to solve.... My father in law sent a message full of anxiety and agony begging for help against a rebellion for his own crown! Iam afraid that this war should be now our first priority since with another ruler ,Lithuania could be an extremely dangerous enemy alongside with the ever present threat of the Mongols.....
Just before I leave for the battlefield to save her fthare's rule Aldona informed me that she is pregnant! I hope that it will be a boy to secure my dynasty's continue....
Battle of Suwalkai was one of the worst defeats at Kingdom's history ...It leave us vulnerable to our mumerous enemies and further more leave Aldona's father face the inevitable.....
Today Aldona gave birth to a healthy boy! Now I feel more stable since all the Kingdom celebrates the birth of a seemingly bright successor!
At least Hungary completed their mission even without our help.I hope that this will strenghten the enough if we find ourselves ina dire need of their support...
Dalimir was sent to explain to the Holy father the reason that we prefer to intervene into pagan civil wars instead of fighting to the Holy lands .With his silver tongue he managed to persuade Him that it is in christendom best interests to prevent radical pagans leaders rise to power if we can not purge totally these lands from the the now....
Unfortunately truth was far away from these statements ...Without our help the loyalist resistance faded quickly and now another King rules over Lithuania...This lost war convinced me about the necessity for a reform of the army and the administration.....
All these days after our defeat I was lost into military studies and the reformation of Justinian to find ideas about the changes that I should make to strenghten the Kingdom .Now Iam certainly capable of studing and using this knowledge !
My spies have warned me that my uncle's prepare a coup against my rule to force me accept their priority to the throne against my own son ! I should prepare my army to repel these threat ....
Not a long after the spies report they raised officially their banners against my rule ! Fortunately loyal riders travelled across the country and gathered our forces before they could react....
My brother in law promised that he could sent forces to assist our cause but Iam not sure about this since hs is occupied with another war at his Southern borders too......
It seems that the whole family of Anjou is fond of me but I fear that we weill be on our own before they could even reach our borders.....
Today I learnt that I became father for the third time ! It seems that my love for Aldona has bore many fruits!
The bitter battle of piast family treason has began and I have already learnt some lessons about how to organise better my army ..I hope that I will have opportunities to use this knowledge at the future....
Despite our best efforts our amry was defeated because of my officers icompetence ...I think that Iam forced to take hard decisions if I want to save my rule and pride .....
Whoever said that never encountered automatic weapons!
