Deciding he was rather bored, he started plotting to murder his bastard half-brother, who was being rather a pest. However, she was promptly crushed and sent to the dungeon.Ĭharles then married the new Duchess of Normandy, and they had a son, who, highly imaginatively, was also called Charles. Now, Matilda, who at age 50 something still wasn't dead, decided to take her Duchies and declare independence from the Empire. At this point Charles decided that France was acting rather suspiciously, so he asked the Holy Roman Emperor if he could join him (Only temporarily, of course).
Despite occupying most of the Holy Land, he was promptly kicked out by overwhelming numbers and returned to Brittany. But in the meantime a Crusade was called and he sailed for the Middle East. Now, Charles I was very anxious to see his mother dead, as once that cow kicked the bucket he'd be first in line to inherit about half of Italy. Seeing a chance to grab all of that, he immediately proposed marriage, and because Matilda obviously couldn't resist being married to someone named 'Conan' she accepted.Īlas, within several years Conan died at the age of 40 (Murder, I say!) and was inherited by his and Matilda's eldest sun, Charles I. Said Duke was unmarried, and so was Duchess Matilda of a Whole Bunch of Stuff.
Our story begins with Duke Conan II of the glorious independent Duchy of Brittany. Raptor has it and will likely divulge his tales of murder and intrigue shortly.
