"These men, or soldiers, are from this day forth to be called the Danish Guard, and I shall be their leader." The Danish guard became the largest army in the Northern Germanic area.

"I shall retake the lands the rebellious dogs have stollen from us!" he proclaimed to the war council. He personaly led the troops into the transports which landed later that month in Oldenburg. Our northern Vassal Norway decalred she would not fight on our side, and she will pay for it.
Nov 1493
Our monarch has assigned his advisors to find new allies for our nation, they have choosen England and Venice, two naval powers who are both in an alliance led by the Teutonic Order, our enemies. In a suprise move The Order accepted a marriage proposal, bringing us closer to their alliance.

"I must go through with my words."

Again our allies back out, but we do not need them. A Russian Diplomat has come to ask for our hand in an alliance with her allies Ryzan and Crimea. They lost an ally to the Polish in their last war. we have also sent troops to Iceland, to take away the Norwegian's far colony.
