House Lusignan Campaign shall continue Friday 11PM GMT 14/12/2018
My first Holy Fury singleplayer charting the fortunes of House Lusignan. An RP run our goal is to achieve some of the farflung dynastic sucesses of the IRL family. This campaign will be streamed every Tuesday afternoon from 3pm and Friday Evening from 11pm from here on out.
---
'A royal house of French origin, which at various times ruled several principalities in Europe and the Levant, including the kingdoms of Jerusalem, Cyprus, and Armenia, from the 12th through the 15th centuries during the Middle Ages. It also had great influence in England and France.
The family originated in Poitou, near Lusignan in western France, in the early 10th century. By the end of the 11th century, the family had risen to become the most prominent petty lords in the region from their castle at Lusignan. In the late 12th century, through marriages and inheritance, a cadet branch of the family came to control the kingdoms of Jerusalem and Cyprus. In the early 13th century, the main branch succeeded in the Counties of La Marche and Angoulême.
As Crusader kings in the Latin East, they soon had connections with the Hethumid rulers of the Kingdom of Cilicia, which they inherited through marriage in the mid-14th century. The Armenian branch fled to France and eventually Russia after the Mamluk conquest of their kingdom.
The claim was taken by the Cypriot branch, until their line failed. This kingdom was annexed by the Republic of Venice in the late 15th century. '

Summary Log -
Ep4
'So far this minor noble house has, in three (short) generations managed to secure themselves as major dukes in central France to the fatal detriment of the house of poitou whilst a junior branch is establishing itself - with typical Lusignan ruthlessness - within the recently formed Kingdom of the Holy Land.
However the charismatic young Bohemian king and his faithful Lusignan marshall have both recently perished in battle with the Moslem, extinguishing in an instant the twin pillars of the nascent and fragile Christian realm. Whats more the new king and the Lord Lusignan are children both, A realm in Minority while the Saracens and Seljuks sharpen their swords.'
--
Ep5
'Renaud II, God praise his name has emerged as the undisputed king of Jerusalem. Paid for in rivers of blood both Christian and Saracen. Having survived the harrowing ordeal of his childhood -councilled by his Lusignan uncles into colloboration - and the holy trial by fire of his war with the Caliph, Renaud is now a true crusader-king forged in battle and faith.
Stoked with the fires of God he wields the ruthlessness of his family as well as Bohemond or Robert before him, intent on stamping his will onto the Holy Land by smiting the Moslems that sought to control his youth.
Yet despite this need for revenge and religiosity, to the north the ambitious king scents even greater temporal reward as the Italians and Germans squabble over l'empire des grecs, unaware of his designs upon this most prized of corpses....'
--
Ep6
'1151, King Renaud has lain dead these past twelve years. Cut down in his prime at twenty-six barely two years after his victory over the Khalifa and his coronation. Jerusalem has suffered lightly under its latest regency though the new Duke of Outerjordan, the departed Leonard's distant relative, an imperious boy of sixteen has sought to stir trouble wher he can, aided by his ever willing acomplice the Grand-Master of the Templar Knights.
Robert II however is now in his majority, as a scholarly man of seventeen years he is a marked break from his forebearers. Perhaps a thinking man can now create a true kingdom within the boundries crafted in blood by his father and grandfather.'
--
Ep7
'Robert being all that his tutors expected brought peace to Jerusalem. A precious peace. He united the realm beneath the aweing majesty of royal pageant and the clink of gold rather than the marching of troops. He gave the bleeding manpower base of the crusader-state time to recover, arranging tournaments, feasts and fairs rather than wars. He even reached out to a Muslim empire far to the east at the distant extant of the great silk-road, seeing in them a counterbalance to the Turk and Saracan mauraders. Robert was a peacemaker unlike his father, though it did not save him. Taken up to heaven at twenty one. the young king simply gave out one night, the cause determined to be his weak physical health.
Once more, all too soon, the realm finds itself in a regency. Two sons and a bastard uncle all that remmain of House Lusignan in the Holy-Land whilst in France an all consuming Occitan revolt tears away all that the Lusignans once held reducing them oncemore to humble counts.'
--
Ep9
'Renaud III has ascended to the throne, baptised by Callistus, annointed with the holy chrism by Honorius. Once more a sanctified and Godly king sits the throne of Jerusalem. Once more war rumbles. The Fatimids fight the assembled host of Christendom, crusader-states springing up like the first rains after a drought all over the crumbling Arab empire. From old Carthage to Anatolia Christians control the lands that once belonged to Rome. Whilst Renaud solidifies his grasp upon his child-brother's land his advisors council war. Holy war. Just War. A war to once and for all restore Jerusalem to the glory it deserves. Rendre gloire à Dieu, Deus Vult!'
