Royalists defeat Rebellion, Rebel Lords given chance for redemption.
[Pamplona, 130 A.D.] Since our last report to faithful readers here, the House of Duke Dejon of Leon, General of the Spanish Royal Army, officially joined the Royalists. After General Dejon's announcement of support for the King, Duke Nuclearius Winterius III of Santiago joined the Royalists and Lord Astronicus reconsidered his further neutrality and sided with the Royalists. Meanwhile, Lord Davout joined with the Rebellion against the crown, along with one other House providing the Rebels support without giving away its identity.
The result of the Rebellion being that nine noble houses sided with the King and four sided against, it was only a matter of time before the standards of ritual combat set in the earliest days of Spanish history resulted in a defeat for the Rebels.
It should be noted, however, that the King was gracious in victory. While he took away the titles of Lords Cian, BigFree, and Davout to their lands and stripped them of their royally appointed offices, he decided that they should not be executed or otherwise further disgraced. Rather, they should be given an opportunity to redeem themselves and prove their worth in the defense of Spain from the infidels:

Lords Aidun, BigFree, and Davout are hereby enlisted into the Spanish army. Each shall be given to a separate unmounted division of either pikes or infantry. THEY SHALL NOT BE GIVEN COMMAND, they shall each pick up the pike or mace and stand shoulder to shoulder with the peasantry who fight to defend Spain.
Should they perish in battle, their children shall be reinstated into the ranks of Nobles, so long as they do not take up the treasonous ways of their fathers.
Should they kill the enemy and survive combat to see Spain free again, they shall be allowed to return to their homes and families and shall be given a full pardon from their crimes against the crown.
Should they choose not to fight the enemy, then they shall surely be executed as cowards. Should they desert or, worse, go to the other side, they and their families shall be executed.
With the Rebellion over, stability has returned to Spain and the Lords of Spain are once again standing together in order to pursue the potential Reconquista that remains before them.Last edited by Arnelos; August 20, 2003, 07:11.Long-time poster on Apolyton and WePlayCiv

Amongst the Spanish Republicans, they say that the King has invented a new regime : the Royalchy, that is Anarchy + Upkeep. :Statistical anomaly.
