Crusader Kings 2

[Dignified Pauper]

smurf! smurf smurf smurf!

I start out as the lowly Earl of Desmond and work heavily on infrastructure. He dies at the age of 61, and Swenson O'Phlannegan II takes over. This guy become AMAZING! He gets over 1000 prestige, takes over Ormond and gives the title to the county of Ormond to his son, Swenson O'Phlannegan III. He then, helps to united Ormond with Thomand into a Duchy, keeping his independence. THEN, he helps his son fabricate a claim to Thomand, and invade!

Meanwhile, the former Duchess usurps Ormond back from Swenson III. Swenson II doesn't take that trout! He declares war on the Duchess by pressing his son's claim for Ormond, wins the war and doesn't take her first surrender. Wipes out her garrison, and then forces peace on her by making her relinquish the Title of Ormond back to Swenson II.

He lives for 12 more years and dies at the age of 77! He had over 1200 Prestige, and invested heavily in infrastructure.

Swenson III's reign was short lived however. He inherits the realm at 56, dies in two years. His lesbo of a wife begot him 3 sons, and Swenson II forgot to change the laws in his country to Primogeniture, so the de jure was broken up to Swenson III's three children, since he did not live NEARLY as long as his father. The name Swenson was also retired, and now, we have a three-way peace, for now, but none of the brothers are too fond of one another.

Meanwhile, the rest of Ireland is still all independent counties too focused on what I'm doing. Oh, did I mention the current Earl of Ormond is ALSO married to a lesbian, and has a daughter who is 21 and not married, and also a mastermind theologian.

While Swenson II's reign was righteous, and his favored grandson's all have land, I feel that his legacy may get ruined.

------------------


The daughter inherited the County, and thought she could take on the new duchess, and declared war for all titles. Little had she realized the clever work Swenson II had committed to in building up the infrastructure of Desmond. Bankrupting Ormond was an easy task, and from there, she quickly surrendered. Realizing she wasn't worth her salt, she swore fealty to her distant cousin (I think 3rd cousin, they shared Great Grandparents)

From here, we're going to work on spreading the current lands into the rest of the Irish hills. The problem, more-so, is that Scotland has been busy taking the North of Ireland and has reached as far as Dublin. If the O'Phlannegan name is to live on, we will need to unite. Sometimes, petty familial politics are trumped by survivability.
