The Munster/Athlone War
4 Dec - I begin to get ready for war against Athlone. Because I am not the Petty King of Meath where Dubhlinn is, our relations drop and I am not getting max stuff, so I need to grab it, and then claim that title. Also there are 14 provinces in Ireland and we have 7, so if we get to 8, one more than half, want to see if I can grab the King Title I have claim too.
Athlone – No allies, 593 troops to my 1532.
I DOW for our claimed CB and lose 100 prestige for that and 25 for a small guy, but half due to “Bellum Justum” so just 63 prestige lost
I raise my armies in Thomond.
7 Dec – Our army is raised and I send to the capital Barony of Athlone ironically enough called Athlone!
5 Jan, 1073 – We arrive in Athlone and begin battle.
8 Jan – King Willam of England left behind Norman culture and embraced English
12 Jan – One of our knights was wounded in battle.
29 Jan – We win the battle and have a warscore of 20% - we begin the siege
8 Mar - 404 arrive back in Athlone to protest our presence
27 Mar – We win another battle and the warscore is 40%
10 April – Our Chaste Petty Queen is against pregnant
6 May - Another battle begins as 274 arrive to try and break our siege
18 May – Our level of fame leveled up
22 June -I become the Guardian of my Grandson
3 July – The Siege is Athlone is over, we gain 24 cash in the sack and capture three. We have a warscore of 100
Peace – We spend 20 prestige, game 20 fame, and then win the war!
I disband my army
Athlone – 6 dev, Wetlands, next to two Connacht holdings of Breifne and Ui Mhaine – part of Meath, 6 dev, 0 control, making us nothing cash wise but 97 levies. Irish, Catholic, three Baronies,
I cannot make the King of Ireland title, but I can Meath.
Before – Dubhlinn – 0 Feudal Taxes from him since I am not his rightful liege.
I make Meath title for 212 cash and gain 300 prestige
I am getting 0.1 from him
With two Petty Kings I can take the King of Ireland title which costs 425 cash and gives me a massive 400 prestige, and I have 545 so I spend it and get the De Jure claims against the other 6 holdings
Ulster is now Scottish so I cannot grab that. That would be a major conflict with the King of Scotland for Ulster.
