The Duchy Doesn’t Spank – A Polish AAR
January 4th, 1066 – A New Dynasty! –
There he stood, with his crown placed upon his head robed in the finest clothing, Boleslaw King of Poland, Count of Cieszyn, Krakowskie, Sandomierskie, and Sacz, Highly regarded by the nobles in the country, a very generous and wise leader and ruler. Today was one of the most important days in the whole Kingdom, nobles from the Duchy of Silesia, Krakow, and Counties Lubusz, Czersk, and the Bischopric of Kaliskie, and Wielkopolska rode for Cieszyn to watch the event. Boleslaw, a bachelor for 31 years had found a suitor. He would marry with Lucja z Wislicy, a beautiful maiden. She was of a young age, and although this fact was shunned by a select group of nobles, it did not deter Boleslaw in the slightest. His heart was set; he had courted her secretly for a year. They first met in a garden outside the Royal House in Cieszyn, and now finally their Union would be known. The Kings of Hungary, and Bohemia were also present at this gathering, at special request of King Boleslaw. For he desired to make better ties with the Magyars and to further the ties between his half brothers in Bohemia, related through his ancestor Mieszko Pierwszy . The feast was huge, and the food was great, many drinks were drunk, and many tales told. It would be known as the happiest day in the Kingdom. After all the festivities ended the King and his Queen retired to their chambers for their own fun. And so a new age would be ushered into the Kingdom, for the King now had a chance to secure his line in the histories of Europe.
It was on January the 5th, that Boleslaw called together all his court members. He appointed his wife the courts Spymaster, and his Brother Kazimir Piast to be Marshall. Also he invited his vassals to discuss their scuttages and crown duties.
“Lords,” he began “as you know, I have just married, and am filled with great joy” he continued.
“As are we,” said the Duke of Silesia, Wszebor of Lower Silesia “it is a great day to see a friend and someone I consider a brother to be married.”
“A great day indeed!” put in the Arch-Bishop of Wielkopolska.
Boleslaw smiled at these kind words.
“Because of this fact, I feel as my loyal lords, I should ask you about your crown duties. Maybe the passion and joy of last nights feast is blurring my vision,” he joked.
“Or the alcohol,” Put in Kazimir, his brother, with a laugh.
The king laughed, and continued “Anyway, my brother, he is a character, so, I do not want to overcharge my loyal vassals, therefore, I would like to discuss acceptable rates. You all need to filed armies to keep robbers and thieves in line, and if you can’t afford to do so, the Kingdom will be weak.” He said. And this continued for much time, debates about how to tax the provinces and who should have more power. A great assembly of the towns leading Nobles came to the Royal Court to ask for more power. It was granted, but only after telling the peasants that tax breaks would come in the future if the Kingdom was Prosperous enough. A court of justice was to be built in a few months.
And so plans were put into motion the next few months were filled with marriages taking place. Kazimir had wed a wife, and were expecting a child. Finally on April 5th, 1066 of the year of our Lord, another great event: Lucja and Boleslaw were now expecting a child. A priest visited the court to bless the couple and reward them. A great feast again was held. Another glorious moment in the history of the Polish Kingdom, and the year ended with a peaceful close.
I got another update coming! So watch out! YO! It has more interesting things, things get heavy fast.
