Duke Roland de Lourein, of the Lourein Wagons Compaignie
Born 915, Died 978
Ruled from 935 to 978
Played from 935 to 967

Now, I will apologize before this part begins. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the previous version of this part disappeared. I didn't delete it, but I opened the forum today to find it missing. For this reason, then, I will seek to condense Duke Roland's life into the key points. In other words, this post will probably be fairly short, and very bare bones. No excessive detail in the wars, nothing that isn't important. Luckily for you, this trend will (hopefully) not continue in future posts.

Roland prided himself on his active knightly lifestyle, unlike the idle, more scholarly lifestyle of his father. He received word of his father's death while out on campaign in the countryside. He was upset, but that was all, upset. This worried Roland. How could a man learn of his father's death, and feel nothing but a tinge of unease? He didn't know, and he wouldn't dwell on it to find out. Roland rescinded his knighthood, and travelled to Geneva to take the reins of the company.

No sooner than his arrival in Geneva, had his errant uncle, Archimède, declared war, his intent to place Ermessinde, the Countess of Como, in control of the Lourein Wagons Compaignie.

Roland was greatly injured during the war, as he lead the Compaignale army directly.

During the war, the mad king of Aquitaine, Charles 'the Pagan', revived the ancient and strange Basque folk religion, in an attempt to spite Rome.

The war was won, and Archimède was executed.

After this, Roland sought to impress Archimède's heir, his cousin Count Jean.

In the intervening time, the Lotharingian Empire fell apart. King Othon died, and his kingdom was split between his sons. The Lourein Wagons Compaignie was within the territory of the young king of Burgundy, Norbert.

As it turned out, Roland's attempts to blow smoke up his cousin's backside were in vain, and Count Jean declared his intent to overthrow the company, as well, and sought to place a close relative, Pernelle, in control. (Side note, I just realized that this doesn't make any sense. Roland is not a woman, and you cannot press a woman's claim on a title unless you or the enemy is a woman.)

Either way, the war was lost, and Count Jean was placed under house arrest.

Roland had long been confined to bed, due to his grievous injuries. This went against his self-proclaimed "active knightly lifestyle", so he sent his Court Chaplain Evrard to secure a claim on the county of Viennois.

Luckily, Roland's wounds were soon healed, after a few more months of bedrest. Immediately, Roland returned to the training grounds, in an attempt to regain his lost masculine physique.

That October, Roland received a letter from King Norbert, informing him that he was revoking the charter for the Compaignie du Char Volant. This would not do. Roland called for a meeting with the king. After some skillful diplomatic maneuvering, it was found that Norbert was heavily invested in the equine industry, and had become quite upset with the invention of the DWC-V. He felt it would lead to the horse becoming obsolete, and therefore, he would become poor. He had hoped to destroy the DWC-V at its source, thus why he was now seeking to revoke the charter.

Roland left the meeting, and spread the news of the king's tyranny. The people liked the DWC-V, who was he to take them away? The nobility, as well, was upset by this. Who was the king to infringe on their rights as vassals? With revolt mounting, Norbert was forced to concede, and backed off.

In spring of the following year, Evrard returned with good news. He had secured a claim on Viennois, and now all Roland had to do was pay him to secure the documents. Roland accepted the offer, but this was ruinously expensive, so he was forced to wait before he could declare war.

Unfortunately, though, the war came to him. The Dukes of Tuscany and of Corsica declared war on Burgundy, seeking to gain control of Genoa. This was unacceptable. Roland joined both of these wars, alongside King Norbert.

Fortunately, the Dukes were forced to give up just a few months later, as the King of Italy, Louis III, declared his intent to claim Burgundy for his own, and went to war.

In the meantime, Roland got married to an Alsatian noblewoman, by the name of Isentrude. She was inducted into the order, though this was likely for show, as she remained a greedy woman.

On the 20th of May, 952, Isentrude gave birth to a baby boy. He was named George, after the famous Saint George, the first knight.

On the 11th of March, 954, Isentrude gave birth to a girl, named Colette.

The following year, Count Jean escaped prison, and rallied enough men together to declare another rebellion, this time seeking to place his brother, another man named Jean, in control of the company.

After eight long years, the war for Burgundy ended, with Italy coming out on top.

After a long and hard-fought battle with Count Jean, he was captured in battle, and the war ended. This time, Roland learned from his mistakes, and placed Jean in the deepest and darkest dungeon in Geneva, and forgot about him.

A year later, King Louis III died from his injuries from the war. Once seen as a source of pride, proving that he could unite Burgundy and Italy, it ended up being his downfall. The kingdoms of Italy and Burgundy were split between his sons, and they were right back where they started.

The following spring, Roland declared war for the county of Viennois.

On the 5th of May, 961, Isentrude gave birth to a baby boy. He was named Roland, after his father.

A few months later, in August, the war was over.

In the beginning of the next year, Roland started another war, this time for the county of Nice, in Provence.

By summer of the following year, the war was over.

On the 22nd of September, 963, Isentrude gave birth to a baby girl. She was named Mathilde.

On the 14th of June, 965, Isentrude gave birth to a baby boy, named Henri.

And.... that is the 100 year mark. Thus marks the end of this chapter of the AAR, and it is time to switch off to another Motor Tycoon. The preface for the next character should be out tomorrow. In the meantime, I have some things to clean up. I won't go into detail, but I have since decided that it is wise to "guide" the story more than I already have. Either way, you'll see what changes soon!

 

[Midnite Duke]

We have all had to make chicken-salad after the game or our computers throws guano at us. You made excellent chicken-salad. Isentrude has birthed several babies for you. The Karlings are acting like Karlings. Thank you for the excellent update despite your problems.

Gustav Otto 'the Bavarian' Preface

In our timeline, Gustav Otto founded the Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) public company. As before, I know very little about these people, but I will still try to make it entertaining. (By the way, this is only what I can gather from Wikipedia. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.)

Otto's first foray into business was with the "Otto Flugmaschinenfabrik" (Otto's Flying Machine Fabric? Or something?) in 1910. This was reorganized into the "Bayerische Flugzeugwerke" (something to the tune of Bavarian Plane Manufacturing Company) in 1916, and reorganized for a final time in 1922, turning the company into the "Bayerische Motoren Werke" (Bavarian Motor Works) (and for brevity this will be referred to as "the BMW company" from now on) that we all know and love to hate the people who drive its cars. Despite its reputation, the BMW company actually started out as a plane engine producer, though I'm sure you could gather that from the other company names.

They produced these airplane engines right up to the end of the first World War, when they were apparently prohibited from making more because of the Treaty of Versailles (I wouldn't know, I haven't read the thing). After this, they channeled their resources into making farming equipment, various types of household appliances, and "railway brakes". They also made motorcycles.

In 1922, the apparent "richest man in Central Europe", a (Jewish) man named Camillo Castiglioni reorganized the BMW company into producing something more in line with what they do now, such as producing bus engines, though they still didn't make the cars themselves, from what I can tell. This was a business they went into two years after Otto's death, though we will get to that soon.

Otto himself was worried about this whole World War business, and fell into a deep depression. This lead to the company declining, and he had to sell his rights to the company to cover these medical bills. You might rightfully say something like, "Well, what the hell! This feller doesn't seem like a good fit to represent the BMW company!", but it will all make sense in due time.

Throughout the later years of his life, Otto found himself falling deeper and deeper into depression. His wife had had too much, and divorced him in 1924. She died late the following year, from mysterious circumstances. Though they were no longer married, this only served to depress him further. He could take it no longer, and so he committed suicide on February 28th, 1926. Understandably, not much detail was given about specifically how this was accomplished.

In this timeline, though, we can imagine that Otto was able to take it a bit longer, at least until the end of the year, before killing himself. (This will become important later.) Here, Otto looks out the window of his second story apartment, and fires a single bullet into his head, on October 16th, 1926. He dies instantly.

Now, to set the scene:

It is the beginning of the year of our lord 967. With the death of the long lived King Simon Karling-Ingolstadt went the vast Bavarian Empire. In its heyday, it stretched from Wittenburg in the north, to Slavonia in the south. It seemed as though the only thing keeping the empire together was his rule. He had no heir, as his only surviving son had been married off to the Queen of Great Moravia. For this reason, the morning he was found murdered in his bed, reports came from vassals, and vassals of vassals, all across the empire to the capital city of Regensburg, that they would be declaring independence. Those left in control of the city scrambled to muster a response, but they couldn't, and let the vassals go free. On a related note, the new count of Rothenburg, Ottokar, took control of the city just a few days later.

It is into this world that Gustav Otto appeared on January 18th, 967. Specifically, he appeared two stories above the ground, unconscious. He remained unconscious, even as he plummeted to the ground, breaking many bones in the process. He was found just a few hours later by impoverished peasants riding donkeys, and brought to the local capital, Minga, a sizable bishopric. Otto was taken into the church hall, and given care by the priests.

When he woke up the next day, he was starving and extremely parched. He had no idea where he was, or what had happened. He remembered killing himself, so was this the afterlife? Could this be hell, with all the pain he was in? He guessed not though, as he figured they wouldn't have monks in hell. Otto could barely see. The monk tending to Otto asked if he was alright, but his ears were ringing far too much to understand that the monk was speaking to him. The monk forced Otto to sit up, and fed him a traditional soup. Otto found that his suit had been taken, and he was dressed in what amounted to a bunch of rags.

This continued for many days, until Otto's hearing and some of his sight had returned, and he felt he had enough strength to walk. Still, though, he had a massive headache. Otto attempted to speak to the monk tending to his wounds, but it seemed as though he didn't understand what was being said. Nor did he care too, either, so he handed Otto a piece of bread, gave him his clothes, and left him to his own devices.

Otto dressed himself and stumbled out of the monastery a few hours later. He still didn't understand where he was, so he wondered off into the forest. Soon enough, he ended up in the creek. This seemed to snap him out of this daze he had fallen into, so he left he creek. While drying off, Otto looked into the creek, at his reflection. He barely recognized himself. He had, apparently, neglected to realize that his face was covered in bandages, so he took them off.

What was beneath the bandages wasn't much better. Otto's face was completely scared. He had scars, scrapes, and bruises all over his face. Otto didn't understand. He had shot himself, clean through the skull. Well, technically, he hadn't seen it go through, but what else could've happened? Otto looked for the bullet hole, but there was nothing, not even an indent in his skin. Where was he?

Otto wondered back into town, determined to find out. He had no reference for what was going on. To him, the city must've appeared very odd, what with a sort of "air depot" in the city, where hot air balloons landed and departed without a second thought. He asked many people where he was, and what was going on, but they only responded to him in broken German, and told him in no uncertain terms that they had no idea what he was saying. To him, they looked very, very poor. They thought he was a madman, come to town to beg and plead that they empty their pockets for him. The less kind among them simply shouted at him.

This drove Otto absolutely mad. He had killed himself to escape, not be faced with even worse circumstances! Perhaps, this was his creator punishing him. Otto retreated into the forest once more, emerging a month later a new man. In this time, Otto met a traveler. This traveler, a man named Luther, spoke in the same broken German as everyone else. Despite this, Otto could understand that this man was a Buddhist.

That was it! Something clicked in Otto, and he realized that he must have been reincarnated into another world, like a story from a folktale! That was something Buddhists believed, right? Specifically, this reminded him of an American story that he couldn't remember the name of. Either way, Otto spent the next few months learning this man's strange dialect, and asked to be "turned into a Buddhist", but in reality heeded few of the man's words. Afterwards, Otto traveled back into Minga. He impressed the people with knowledge he had gained during his schooling, simple to him, but wonderous to them. He claimed to be "the last Bavarian", reincarnated by Buddha to bring Bavaria's light to this new world. Thus, he would be known as 'the Bavarian' for the rest of his life, a name that would pass onto his children.

Over the next few weeks, Otto became the leader of the city of Minga, with it being newly independent, and all. He renamed the city to "Münich", after his own home city. Afterwards, Otto lead a violent attack against the monastery, citing some arbitrary reason why they were wrong and he was right. He placed Luther in control of the old monastery. Though few converted to his Buddhist faith, his word did hold much sway over the people of Münich. And, soon enough, Otto put his men to work on developing a motor engine, for all those "flying chariots" they owned...

Stay tuned! Well, a little. As always, these things do take time, so don't expect the next one to come out for a while. Either way, we will be going through the life of Gustav Otto 'the Bavarian' in the next post. What will he get up to, I wonder?

From a DeLorean to a BMW, wonderful back story that you are giving us. To be 100% sure, this is a new story. Otto sounds neat. Now BMW engines on the balloons. Thank You

 

[HistoryDude]

I wasn't expecting the dynasty change. This is a different world, right?

The DeLoreans did well. Let's see how these "Bavarians" do.

No, it’s the same world, just a different character. They still have “flying chariots”, remember?

Count Gustav Otto 'the Bavarian' of the City of Münich
Born 1883, Died 1001
Ruled from 967 to 1001

It happened again, the entire post was deleted before I was able to finish it. As such, I have elected to continue the "key-points" style that I used for Duke Roland's life. (I will probably do this more often, as I am starting school soon, and likely won't be able to write lengthily any longer.)

The creation of the motor engine was very difficult. First, and most importantly, the engines Otto was used to producing ran off of gasoline. For obvious reasons, they did not have gasoline, nor any way to create it. As such, Otto was forced to work on another model, one which could run off of coal. This took some time. In the meantime, Otto but his Guru, Luther, to work on converting the local population to the Buddhist faith.

The next year, Otto got married. Specifically, he married two women, as his Buddhist faith mandated that he be allowed to do so. He married his spymaster, Imma, and a random peasant woman, Luitgard.

The following year, on the 31st of March, 969, Imma gave birth to a baby boy, whom she named Hans.

Later that year, Otto began eyeing the lands that bordered his humble city. He noticed, specifically, that many of the surrounding rulers were already well connected, and could call upon many men from their well developed realms. He wouldn't dare claim, publicly, at least, that he wished to conquer them, but he could certainly claim that they would attack him, right? As such, he spent quite a bit of money on building barracks in Münich, just in case, of course.

A few years later, in 972, Luther's task was complete. The majority of the people in Münich pledged themselves to this Buddhist faith, though many of them would admit that they didn't understand what that meant. Either way, his task was complete.

Soon after this time, the first model of the motor engine was finished. A bag of coal was ground up, and mixed with a small amount of water, to create fuel for the engine. Seeking to test his new engine, and not wishing to attempt a potentially disastrous test flight, Otto created a metal frame, similar in appearance to the first cars, and placed the engine inside. It worked, and was driven across the plain.

With this, Otto was able to apply the motor engine to the flying chariots of his day, by creating turbines which would be spun by the engine, effectively allowing the charioteer to fly anywhere, even against the wind. This technology was distributed across the city, and brought elsewhere by merchants, under the city's mandate. Many found this to be impressive, though generally far too expensive to be worth it. Still, some rich noblemen had their personal flying chariots fitted with the engines and turbines.

Otto, though, was unsatisfied. He knew full well that these Alpine mining villages would begin marking up their prices, so that they could make a larger profit from their coal sources. This simply would not do. Otto began justifying against the county of Brixen, renowned in the region for its wealth in coal. He sent Luther off to accomplish this task.

The following year, on August 13th, 973, Luitgard gave birth to a daughter, named Judith.

By fall of the next year, Luther had obtained a few documents which allowed Otto to declare war.

Otto had to get his affairs in order during the next few months, gathering his troops, preparing them for war, and even going off on a pilgrimage. Either way, he declared war on December 13th, 974.

The war was finished quickly, and was over by spring of the following year, and the county integrated into Otto's domain.

With this, Otto sent craftsmen to Brixen, and ordered them to build a series of quarries in the region, so that coal could be extracted.

Over the next few years, Otto received reports from people, both inside and outside of his domain, that his engine and turbines were dangerous. A common complaint was that it was far too heavy, and would often tip the carriage over, if it was installed incorrectly. This was, generally, not his problem, but he did still wish to help. For this reason, he got to work on developing a new flying chariot, one with a long carriage, and a long lantern. This was fairly simple, but they did take some time to build, and they did still lack the ability to land at will. Oh well. No matter how many motor engines they built, they couldn't produce propane gas.

In summer of 979, Otto began having ambitions to conquer and unite the Duchy of Bavaria, so he sent Luther to the county of Frontenhausen to fabricate a claim.

Around two years later, Luther returned with the documents.

By December of that year, war was declared.

The war was finished by July of the following year. With this, many within the region began looking to him for their technology, and many rich Bavarians bought his "long-model" flying chariots.

Later that year, on November 21st, Imma gave birth to a baby boy, who was named Wilhelm.

In spring of the following year, Luther was sent out again, this time to the county of Eschenlohe.

Over a year later, Luther returned to Münich with a series of dubious documents once more.

A few days later, war was declared.

The war was longer than the others, but still, the war was won.

Next, Luther was sent to Passau. Passau was a well developed county, with many cities within its dominion. Otto saw this as a test.

The following summer, Luther returned to Münich, with a few letters cementing Otto's claim on Passau.

Just a few days later, war was declared.

By autumn of the next year, the war was over.

As another challenge, Otto took the bold move of declaring a holy war against the Countess of Geisenhausen, Irmele. This move would connect the two sides of his domain in a single move, something he thought would be wise.

In June of the next year, the war was over. After this, Otto settled down a bit, and focused on his realm, as well as his faith.

Otto's pilgrimage awakened something in him. He "spoke" with Buddhists from the area, and found that his beliefs differed significantly from the locals'. For this reason, upon returning home, Otto used his power to compile the "Bavarian Creed", a series of teachings and stories that were prevalent among Buddhists within his realm, but not among Buddhists elsewhere. The Bavarian Creed held reincarnation to be its most important tenet. It promoted cooperation and intermingling between Buddhists and Christians, though this was easier said than done. They also believed in the existence of multiple worlds, as proven by Otto's stories of his advanced homeland. As such, the Creed encouraged the keeping of knowledge, as they felt that all worlds deserved enlightenment. The grand monasteries belonging to the Bavarian Creed's monks held vast libraries, for this reason.

In 993, Otto took up the title of "Duke of Bavaria". This was not something he took lightly, as he would redouble his efforts to improve and develop his realm.

Duke Gustav Otto 'the Bavarian' of Bavaria

As a part of this development, Otto prepared ground for a large greenhouse to be built in Münich. Many thought this was strange, as they were unused to such a thing, but the plans went forward, anyways, and the greenhouse was used as a sort of park.

Seeking to unite the exclave of Brixen with the rest of his realm, Otto embarked on two more wars, the first for the county of Lienz, and the second for the county of Berchtesgaden. These wars posed little trouble to Otto, as they were both won quickly.

On January 8th of the new year, 998, Otto's beloved wife, Imma, died of old age.

Three years later, Gustav Otto had a heart attack and died. He would be remembered for all time as a madman, but a fantastic leader regardless. His son, Hans, took up the throne. In his youth, he had been given a martial education, though even he would admit that he was fairly poor at it. Regardless, he would need to take to his position with pride, and vigor, something he had little trouble with.

I am a bit sorry that this one took so long, as I had to go away for a week. Either way, the story will continue soon, and we will get to see the life and times of Duke Hans the Bavarian.

 

[HistoryDude]

Otto's Buddhist? That's new...

Ah, attacking in self-defense. A tried and true strategy. Congrats on becoming Duke of Bavaria.

 

[Midnite Duke]

Great read. My first thought was steam rather than coal as power source. On validness of claims, all of your claims are valid and authentic, even if the ink still runs. Claims on you are always forgeries even if signed in front of you with triple notaries. Thank you for updating.

Duke Hans the Bavarian of Bavaria
Born 969, Died 1034
Ruled from 1001 to 1034

This one has taken too long, as I've been occupied with other things. Sorry about that. For that reason, this one will be fairly short.

With his father's death, Tyrol was given to his brother, Wilhelm This worried Hans, as much of Bavaria's flying chariot fuel was sourced from the region. Thankfully, his brother understood the value that cheap fuel provided for the Bavarian economy, and sold it to his brother cheaply.

A few months later, Hans married a Greek noblewoman, Parthena.

In this age of affordable personal aircraft, communities of vagrants and semi-nomads emerged all across Europe. These were the sort to swear allegiance to a local leader, as opposed to a Duke, or a King. As such, they also rarely paid taxes, as they could simply fly away from any danger they faced. While many would see this as an unsolvable issue, Hans saw a great opportunity. He drafted up an agreement with one of these leaders, offering him a large portion of his treasury, and in exchange, the local leader would dedicate himself and his people to building a great chariot port city. As well, the city would be named "Bayerstadt", the Bavarian City. The agreement was made, and plans were formulated to build the city. It would take many years.

In the meantime, Hans' son, Johann, was born.

A few years later, Bayerstadt was completed, to great fanfare. A great flying chariot was commissioned with the remaining funds, and sent across the countryside to spread the word, and attract settlers. It worked, and Bayerstadt experienced a minor boom in this time.

Hans saw this as a success. Seeking to capitalize on this success elsewhere, Hans also sought to organize the small monastic communities of the county of Münich into a great temple settlement, just to the west of Bayerstadt. The city was to be called Aheim. The construction took many years, but it would be completed.

In the meantime, Parthena gave birth to two more children, the first being Berengar, born on September 25th 1010, and the second being Sophia, born on October 15th, 1012.

Soon, Aheim was finished. Bavarian monks from all across Bavaria came to Aheim to bask in its great library, something it would soon become known for.

A while later, Hans begun another construction project, this time in the county of Eschenlohe, where the city of Fligend was to be built. Another, larger chariot port would be built on the highest hill in the region.

Seeking to expand his domain, Hans declared war on the small states of Augsburg to his west.

In the meantime, Parthena gave birth to another child, named Elisabeth.

A while later, the wars were won, and Augsburg was brought into the Bavarian fold.

A few years later, the construction of Fligend was complete. Soon after, news was received by men all across Bavaria, and chariots, big and small, landed at its soon-to-be infamous chariot-port.

Afterwards, Hans went on a great campaign to unite Bavaria, like his father had once sought to. He started with the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg.

In the meantime, Parthena gave birth to a baby girl, named Willibirg, on the 8th of April, 1026.

A few months later, on June 14th, 1026, the war was over.

Next, Hans went after the remaining small states that surrounded Bavaria, and brought them under his domain.

His father's dream was nearly realized. Many of the small states that surrounded Bavaria were finally brought under one banner. In the end, though, Hans knew that he could never call himself great unless he controlled Tyrol. As such, he was forced to break his alliance with his brother Wilhelm, so that he could return Tyrol into the Bavarian fold.

Nearly a year later, the war was over, and Bavaria was united. His brother was fairly upset at the loss of his land, but Hans was sure he would see, soon enough. After all, this was what their father had wanted. With this, Hans was able to declare himself "King of Bavaria", on January 15th, 1034, bringing his father's dream of Bavaria's guiding light, shining throughout this world, to its natural, stunning conclusion. Of course, there did remain places outside of his dominion that swore themselves as Bavarian, but the true Bavarian spirit, that of the innovative, and the enlightened, laid in the heart of his nation. Surely, Bavaria would go on to do great things.

King Hans the Bavarian of Bavaria

Unfortunately, Hans would not live much longer to see it. On November 30th, 1034, at the age of 65, Hans drank himself to death. Perhaps, he passed into another world, similar, but different to his own. Perhaps, he found harmony, and would remain in his current form. It is unknowable. In the end, though, his lands were passed to his son, Johann.

I hope you fellas enjoyed this one. I am sorry this one took so long, I have recently had to go back to school, and haven't had as much time as I did before. That, and I got into Surviving Mars: Green Planet. Its good, you should try it. This is off topic, though. Either way, the next part will be out at some point. Hopefully before the beginning of October, but I make no promises.

 

[Midnite Duke]

Bavaria strong! May the chariots fly high and long with many passengers and much freight earning you magnificent income. Good luck with school and I will patiently await your next update.

Hans has done well, and the Kingdom of Bavaria stands.

Also, did he seriously try to build a city in the sky?

No, its just on a hill. Big hill, but still attached to the ground, and not in the air
