    Default L'Empire du Britannia, le Gaule, et l'Eire




    Histoire

    The Glorious Kingdom
    Founding

    The Kingdom was founded in the 300s AD when Publius Varrus and Caius Britannicus decided to turn their villas into a small agrarian village, self-sufficient enough to survive without Rome. This was illegal, as it required a military force, and their army would be seen as a rebellion. However, they decided to take the risk, and Camelot was founded, with a Council as the governing body.

    Growth
    After Rome left Britannia to fend for itself, Camelot experienced a massive wave of growth, with refugees pouring in. It quickly reached 100,000 people, a size larger than any other city in Britain. The army also grew, turning from legionary-based to mostly reliant on cavalrymen, armoured lightly and armed heavily. These men were called "troopers" and they were famous for their use of a very long sword. Later these men would become even more deadly when Merlyn Britannicus, grandson of Caius Britannicus, would discover by accident the stirruped saddle.

    Arthur Pendragon, the Great King
    In the late 500s AD, Arthur Pendragon, great-grandson of Publius Varrus, took command of the armies of Camelot. He was also elected King of the Pendragon Federation that year, and so he ruled both Cambria and Camelot. He instantly started his military reforms, where he replaced the cavalry troopers with the Knights of Camelot, and increased the numbers of Cambrian Longbowmen in the ranks of the army. Now, the Legions would hold the enemy in place, the Knights would destroy them with a charge, and the Longbowmen would both prevent ambush by acting as scouts and would also force the enemy to charge with the threat of arm-long bodkin arrows.

    In 600 AD, the Church crowned Arthur Pendragon Riothamus, High King of all Britannia. Shortly after, he began to allow smaller kingdoms to unite under his protection in return for tribute and men.

    In 603, Arthur invaded Caledonia, the land of the Picts. Within the year, he ruled every land that the Britons ever ruled except for those ruled by Saxons.

    In 605, the Anglians who lived between the Kingdom of Britannia and the Saxon Kingdom of England asked Arthur for aid. In return, he forced the Saxon raiders out of the Anglian's land, and conquered all of the land up to the Saxon border.

    Then, disaster struck. Britannia had long been allies with the kingdoms of France and Aquitaine. However, in their expansion, France had angered a Frankish noble. That noble, Gunderic the Frank, started a rebellion of Franks, and began to raid French and Aquitanian towns. Louis of France, upon hearing that he would not be King due to incompetence, rebelled as well, and joined the Franks in revolt. A number of barons followed. Aquitaine joined the war, in the hopes of hitting the Franks from behind. Instead, the Franks marched right to the border, and occupied a small town called Potiers. The Britons dispatched to the fight, marching with the Aquitanian army, fought well, and took relatively few casualties. However, the battle was extremely bloody, and though the allied forces eventually won the day nearly all of the Aquitanian and French soldiers were killed.

    After the Britons successfully subdued the Saxon raiders, however, the tide turned. The Franks conscripted nearly their whole male population and marched upon Paris, on the heels of the French army. Aquitaine sent their auxiliary cavalry to harass their rear guard, and the rest of their army followed as quickly as possible. The Franks split their army, and one group went to Dijon, forcing Aquitaine to follow. The Aquitanians fought well, but couldn't overcome the Franks. They could no longer fight this war. The Republic of Spartacus tried to aid France, but local forces stopped their march, and their contribution was minimal. The Briton and Livonian contributions, however, were important. The Livonio-Briton army crushed the Saxons outside of Paris, and France was saved. In the fighting, however, King Charles Martel of France was killed by his own son, Louis of France. Georges, brother of Louis, took the throne afterward.

    The Franks conscripted all their remaining manpower and marched North to the Briton fortress of Caen. There, Nuestrian rebels opposed to our Kingdom's rule joined forces with them. Our army, along with Livonia's, marched to Caen as well, and crushed the Franks for good.

    In 617, our army was reformed again, into the legionary feudal system it has retained since. Then, after learning that Hesse had been funding the Saxon raids and was planning to incite revolt in Denmark, Britannia's ally, Arthur declared war on the Landgraviate of Hesse. His army was massive and powerful, and destroyed the Hessians at every battle. However, Hesse, being a small but rich country, could rapidly recruit and move troops, while Arthur, with his supply lines stretched across miles of enemy territory, moved at a snail's pace. A war of attrition was fought for years, until in 627 the Hessians finally confronted the Britons.

    The battle was great. The Kingdom's army fought valiantly, but was simply unable to defeat a force so much larger than itself. Arthur himself was killed in the fighting, when a spear was stabbed into his side. It is believed that his son Mordred, the Prince, killed him, as the spear was in his hands, but it is more likely that in the attempt to pull the spear from his father's dying body he died himself of his wounds.

    Arthur II, only 15 years old, took the throne, though his mother Olga of Denmark served as regent for five years. He asked the Pope to canonize Arthur as a saint, and it was done. Thus, King Arthur Pendragon became the Saint of Britannia.

    Arthur, though he retrained the army, never recovered from the ordeal that was his father's death. Though a good leader, he couldn't manage to inspire his men the way his father did, and the army was weaker without the inspiration of their seemingly invincible leader, who had his arm nearly hacked off at Paris and continued to fight for several more hours.

    In 680, Arthur III took the throne. Little happened in his reign.

    In 750 Arthur IV took the throne. In his reign, the Saxons were defeated at the Second Battle of Leinster, pushing the Saxons back onto the very edge of Britain.

    In 800 Arthur V took the throne. In this year many Viking raiders began to attack settlements in Caledonia. Also, the Exiled Kingdom of Dublin retook Eire in his reign, starting a period of Eirish-Briton mistrust.

    In 860 Arthur VI took the throne. In his reign, the endless naval war with Dublin was ceased, and viking raids intensified. Also, the Danes (not the friendly danes, the danes that rebelled and slaughtered their own king's family in the 600s) invaded the land called "Kent", and forced the Saxons into Briton lands. In addition, the Saxons had to pay tribute to prevent the Danes from expanding further. Also in his reign was a great famine, and was also the first Briton pope elected.

    In 920 Arthur VII took the throne. In his reign, the Northmen invaded Nuestria. They were defeated at the Battle of Rouen, but the survivors were allowed to stay. They became Briton citizens, and lived in western Nuestria. They called themselves the Normans, and many of them enlisted in the Briton army as shock troops. Also in his reign was another Briton elected Pope.

    In 1000, Arthur VIII took the throne. In his reign he has discovered the presence of a massive Saxon army, and has also seen another Briton elected Pope. Also, his reign has seen the first Norman duke of Nuestria, William, who came to the throne in 1090. Arthur VIII is very sick and frail (given that he's more than 100 years old), and has three sons: Arthur IX, Cadfael, and Dafydd.

    In 1101, Arthur IX took the throne as his father was too old and frail to do anything. In his reign, the Scandinavian Empire landed in Britannia, and a crusade was launched on Cairo.

    In 1103, The Britons beat the Scandinavians and Saxons at Londinium. This removed any organized threat to Britannia. However, in the same year, Scottii invaded from Eire and conquered Caledonia before any organized resistance could be mustered. The Britons, reeling, took control of Hadrian's Wall again, temporarily halting Scotti expansion.

    In 1125, after 22 years of steady occupation of the Wall, the newly reorganized Scotti launched an attack on the green Britons (despite the military excellence of Britannia, they hadn't fought any wars for a while). They conquered a piece of the Wall and raided down into Northumbria. The Britons gave chase, but the Scotti had conquered all of Northumbria by then. The Third Battle of Badon Hill resulted in the temporary defeat of the Scotti tribes.

    In 1136, Valois invaded Britannia. The Legions managed to force them to Marseille, where the King agreed to become a vassal of Arthur IX.

    In 1141, Prince Arthur X married Princess Jacqueline du Valois. She was the last of the Valois royal line, and thus the vassal Kingdom of Valois became a Duchy under Britannia. In the same year, Arthur IX died and Arthur X took power. With the new conquest of Gaul, King Arthur X proclaimed himself Empereur du Britannia et le Gaulle

    In 1200, Empereur Arthur XI led a new campaign against the Kingdom of Alba. He managed to retake Northumbria, but by that time the Wall was damaged beyond repair, and the boundary of Northumbria and Caledonia could not be held. The Scots counterattacked and pushed the Britons all the way to Camelot. Preparations were made to move the capital to Rennes before a deal was struck: the Britons would hand over Holland in return for Cambria and Cornua. This resulted in uneasy peace between the Kingdoms.

    In 1320, Crown Prince Arthur XIII married Princess Elaine of Scotland. This resulted in the first Briton-Scottish alliance.

    In 1360, the Scots overthrew their old King in favour of a new line. The Britons, due to a deteriorating condition with the old establishment, aided the rebels.

    In 1450, the two Kingdoms met at Camelot to discuss a treaty: The unification of Britannia and Scotland. Under the treaty, L'Empire du Britannia et le Gaulle would absorb The Kingdom of Alba into itself under Empereur Arthur XVIII (lots of disease between XIII and XVIII). The new L'Empire du Britannia, le Gaule, et l'Eire would be governed by the Empereur of Britannia and the Council of Camelot in Britannia and Gaul, and by the King/Duke/whatever DS calls him of Scotland and the Council of Camelot in Scotland and Eire. The Empereur would technically be the King of both nations, but with no real power in Scotland. To seal the agreement, Arthur XVIII married the Queen of Scotland, who had come to the throne due to the fact that no male heir survived. Thus, the Empereur and the Council ruled fairly across all Britannia, Gaul, Scotland, and Eire.

    In 1460, Arthur XVII had a son, Arthur. However, he died almost immediately afterward and the throne passed to his second cousin by marriage, Arthur XIX. Arthur XIX is a very old and very corrupt man, but a sound ruler, who runs the kingdom in about the same way that Bill Gates runs Microsoft.

    Now, Arthur XIX is the Empereur, and Arthur XX, the true heir, isn't happy. Civil war seems on the horizon, and the mostly anti-Scotland Briton nobles may come to power soon...

    Lord Timoth the Young of House Gorrel, Lord of the Shorelands, Lord of Ships. enters the harbour on his personal flagship Winter's Storm and looks out over the statue of The Smith decorating his bow. He orders the Flag of House Dorin, a crowned black direwolf upon a field of white, along with his personal sigil, a golden warship upon a field of pale blue to be hoisted up. As the Winter's Storm drifts further in he makes a note of the amount of warships, none of which come close to the 5 decked 2,000 oared ship under his feet, and the amount of traffic which makes his own city seems like a village. His men stand in awe at the size of the town before them which is almost as large as The Winter City itself and quickly rush back to work when he looks at them, in the distance he can see a small boat commanded by the harbourmaster approaching.

    The small boat sails out from the port town of Le Havre. Despite being a small town, it was a vital port, and it controlled most of the trade with the East. The soldiers on the small galley make a mental note of a size of the ship -- were this two hundred years earlier, it would be unstoppable. However, with the new technology and cannon on board the Briton galleys, it would be a close fight, but likely a victory if fighting came.

    Timoth Gorrel signals for the anchor to be dropped and walks over to the soldiers preparing a plank, while he waits for the ship to close he takes a closer look at one of the passing vessels. Unlike his own which contained marines and balistae for assault this one seems to field nothing whatsoever. Small hatches, currently closed, are shown along the side of the ship but what they are for he has no clue. With a final groan Winter's Storm comes to a stop and the smaller ship draws up next to it, with a wave of his hand the plank is drawn out over the edge to span the gap between the ships.

    The village elder, Paul-Henri du Le Harve, comes aboard the ship and introduces himself, asking the business of the strangers.

    Timoth notes the advanced age of the stranger and replies. "I have come here on behalf of King Alfred of the House Dorin, King of Winter, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Commander of the Armies of the North to speak with someone of authority. I wish to dock my ship here and continue my journey on land"

    The elder scratches at his beard.

    I am the closest thing we have here, unless you wish to speak with the Vice-Admiral. He's in that big war galleon over there.

    The elder points to a massive ship, the likes of which has never been seen by the Northmen.

    Timoth spits over the side before continuing. "I was sent to speak with someone of imprtance, not to old fools and vice admirals in their tiny ships. You will make room at the docks for my ship so I can come ashore and continue my journey south to meet with your king.

    We will gladly allow your docking, but the Empereur is currently in Camelot. It's about a week's sailing north of here.

    No, the Prince is in Paris. Camelot is the Empire's capital, Paris is just considered the capital because it, at least commercially and geographically, is this part of the Empire's centre.

    You may meet with the Prince, I will send him a letter. Come in, you may wait in my chambers while the stable boys get you horses and provisions.


    The ship is led into dock, and then men with long-barrelled sticks escort Timoth into the elder chambers.

    TImoth nods to his first mate and gives the orders for a small gourp to make ready to go ashore with him. Upon reaching the chambers he sits down and w3aits for his host to speak.

    Timoth turns to leave. "If I am forced to wait this long for my ship when I return you will be decorating my bow." As he is lead to a fine red destrier he looks back to the harbour, unlike he fellow lords Timoth had rarely set foot on land and prefered his ship to a horse. While riding through the streets towasrd the main gates he remembers to curse the king for this asignment.

    OOC: can you remember when the only 3 posts were: Do you want trade? Yes. Ok.

    OOC: Yes, but I enjoy this more.

    The ride takes two days, and the party reaches Paris at nightfall on the second day. They are taken into the Palais du Valois and given refreshments and hot water, then new clothes. After they wash they may see the Prince as they wish.

    The ride had given Timoth sore muscles where he did not even know he had them but the relaxing bathe and fresh clothes helped dull the pain, after a small bite to eat he signals for a company of guards garbed in the finest armour crafted in the Seven Kingdosm with cloaks of gold weave and makes his way to the main halls.

    More guys in lace with long-barrelled sticks escort them into the throne room of the Palais, where Prince Arthur XX waits.

    As Timoth enters the thron room a herald steps forward. "Introducing Lord Timoth of the House Gorrel, Lord Paramount of the Shorelands, Lord of Dantonport, Admiral of the King's Navy." With an air of confidence he walks forward and bows toward the throne." Greetings Prince Arthur Twentieth of His name."

    The Prince returns the bow.

    A man of the seven kingdoms, eh? We are glad to welcome you into our land.

    A flustered soldier comes into the throne room with the elder's letter, handing it to Arthur. Arthur skims it, then nods and gives it to the soldier.

    "And we are glad to be welcomed. My king has sent me here to enquire about the recent build up of your military and more importantly why ships bearing your colours were seen plundering the Westland Coasts."
