Carolus Invictissimus: the story

[Shaka Naldur]

well if it´s okay with you two guys we could post what is going on in the game

well

those damm french declare war to the Empire but they are going to be in trouble,
they were able to conquer Pamplona and some cities around french but they´ve lost Milan under the imperial troops and soon Paris would be another city under my domain
Rome it´s been also conquered and the germanias are under control

you never should declare war Jesus

have you conquered any city up there Henrik??

The king of Sweden Gustav Vasa (who recently arose to power, throwing out the Danish army from Sweden), has during negotiations whit the English monarch Henry XIII convinced the aforementioned king about the wonders of Reformation. Henry was struck with these new fantastic religious views and quickly formed the new Anglican Church (shortly thereafter beheading his wife).
To thank the gracious king of Sweden, Henry has given him experienced shipbuilders to build Sweden a new Atlantic fleet consisting of Galleons and a brand new merchant marine too!
Swedish armies are closing in on the little Danish city of Helsingborg.
Soon Sweden will rule over the Skåne lands and we will have revenge for the Stockholms Bloodbath conducted by the monstrous danes.
Rumors about Swedish invasion plans in Germany are firmly denied...
Rumors about how Gustav Vasa would be ruled by his ruthless advisor Henrik of Lohmander are also hotly denied.
Sweden's problems are as always its many loans and scarce population

Waiting for kIndal/Jesus to post...

The cowards Imperials force us to sign a humillanting peace with them, protecting in their allies power, but French don´t accept these conditions and declare a necesary war to make a free Europe where the Habsburgs don´t make their desires.
Navarre has been liberate and his legitime king has been one more time crowned and The Spanish Road has been broken by the invencible French troops in his hearth. Milan has been lost but when the mean mercenaries that formed the Imperial armies won´t be paid, they will return to their Swiss cantons, and Italy fall to French national army.
The dream of a France from the Ebro river to the Rhin will came ver,very soon, and Francis of France will walk calmly through the streets of Toledo, Brussels and Vienna.

The Danish city of Hälsingborg (or as it is somewhat confusingly named on our maps; Helsingborgs, maybe the cartographer slipped whit his quill ) has surrendered to the victorious armies of Sweden after severe artillery bombardement!
The victorious king of Sweden Gustav Vasa, has ceded the province of Skåne to his closest advisor Henrik of Lohmander, since lord Henrik has been in charge of this operation, Henrik made his brother Johan (who distinguished himslef during the seige of Hälsingborg by fending of a group of enemy sabotuers trying to destroy the swedish bombards) governor of Skåne.
Although Skåne is only half conquered (the southern parts are still in enemy hands and a the enemy is rumoured to ammas a large force outside the little town of Malmö) Lord Johan feels that it will only be a matter of time "before his realm is united" as he put it.
In Stockholm Henrik has made himself leader of "Riskrådet" (the royal council) and members of the nobel houses are growing very displeased, the house of Lohmander is gaining far to much from these new conquests and the King seems to favour them...
Due to a few murder atempts Lord Henrik never travels whitout an escort in the streets of Stockholm anymore and rumours of a conspiracy are in the air...
Rumour also has it that a Swedish invasion army has landed on Gotland, outside the city of Visby (or in latin: Wisby).
The king has begun to take down and melt bells in the churches and chapels of Sweden to pay of all loans that Sweden has to the Hanseatic League based in the german city of Lübeck, but the population are growing weary of the kings taxes and rebelion is in the air, just yesterday a new regiments of swedish soldiers arived in Falun. The situation is tense, will the people rebell, just as they did agaisn't Cristian the Tyrant (or the fair as the Danes call him) of Denmark, only then Gustav Vasa was thier leader. Now he is thier king.

Peder Svart:
King Gustav Erikson Vasas personal History writer

Edit: For some strange reason I wrote clocks when I meant bells...

[Henrik]

Oh and if anyone would wonder, some parts of what I write are historical.
For example the ting about melting down the bells in the churches, this was actually done by Gustav Vasa and resulted in a massive rebbelion in that part of the country.
Peder Svart was really Gustavs personal history writer but there was never a house called "Lohmander" and Gustav Vasa wasn't the sort of person who could have been controlled by his advisor.
Just a little history note, oh and the finall solution for Gustav Vasas money problems wasn't to melt of bells (that didn't generate enough money) what he did was to bombard Lübeck in to surrendering on his terms whit his fleet, The Hanseatic League quickly forgot about his debts to ensure it's own survival (oh and this is a feat I plan to redo )

first day I can connect to apolyton in days...

well, those french decided to bribe cities, (like nuclear war in my opinion)

but, that is not going to help him to reconquer the french cities under imperial dominion,
Fugger Bank is mine, and Zwiglio Teachings are going to be soon under my control

every french city in the mediterraneum coast has been conquered,
Soisoon, a city a day away from had a big army but was bought by those french monks

Cherbourg and Rouen are mine
and every western french city is also mine
Italy is under my control also

hi, i´m doing well

Foreign Affairs:
Sweden has sent troupes to aid France against the evil habsburg armies at its borders! An invading army outside Arensburg has left, the city was too well defended and Sweden cant afford a propper siege.
England and Sweden is from now on united in a anti-habsburg-Ottoman alliance, aranging this alliance has greatly drained the swedish coffers but the melting of church bells has helped to pay off more loans.
Domestic Pollitics:
Many rebelions have sprung up in the swedis mainland but they have all been subdued whit the help of a mighty army and many "entertainers" hired by the state.
In a bold move Riksrådet (the royal council) has been abollished and from now on only the "first minister" Lord Henrik of Lohmander can issue sugestions and new laws. All orders require the kings name on them but evil rumours has it that in reallity the king is a powerless fool, completely ruled by Lord Henrik. Roumors also speak of a plot, this supposed plot's aim would be to depose the king and make overthrow the Vasas...
