Chronicled my parisian save in my drafts, because I had a blast. Might aswell post it now that I’ve shelved it for the update.

It started because I wanted to see the new childhood events in the Friends & Foes DLC, so I made a random baby in 867 France. I also wanted a trait I had never played before, it fell on barren.

Eglantine, chaste lazy compassionate countess of Amiens & Clermont, was a-go. (VERY LONG post with images below, best viewed in dashboard)

In her childhood, she befriended a dutch nobliau from nearby Ypres via the meet peers event; his dad refused the proposal because Eglantine was barren, and he eventually got engaged to someone else, but they became lovers in their 20s, then later, soulmates.

She married someone for the council job, but after organizing a threesome to “help Eglantine explore her bisexuality”, her husband then tried to hide that the other woman, who was both their lover, was now bearing his child. She divorced him and married him immediately to their lover.

She finally bore the child of her childhood friend and soulmate, at 44, right when I began accepting I would lose the game.

Miracle child, compassionate ambitious honest Adelinde, had a wonderful childhood, but when her mother died and she became a ruler of her own, I realized I was playing the same game twice, countess all alone with zero family member, no ally, barren. Adelinde even had the added bonus of being a lesbian, so couldn’t keep male lovers, only have sex once during a seducing scheme.

Surprisingly, having an heir was the easy part, with the many fertility artifacts Eglantine had collected in her life. A saxon boy who had showed up parentless at Eglantine’s court, whom she recruited and raised alongside Adelinde, was picked as co-parent. She was pregnant on the second try. He was also gay, married to our best friend the spymaster and lived peacefully at our court.

By that point, France had imploded and no longer existed, and Amiens and Clermont were but two independant counties, in a sea of independant counties other kingdoms were more than happy to swallow whole. I needed a duchy.

Enter Yngvar.

Remember Adelinde’s secret dad, count of Ypres ? After France’s implosion, when I looked for her secret siblings, who should have inherited at that point, I found Yngvar, duke of Flanders. The only surviving son of a minor danish chief, he went on a varangian adventure, and decided north of France was his, actually. There he was, living his best life, merry and boisterous. He took a liking to his young neighbor Adelinde, befriending her, and regularly sending her poems (everytime it was off cooldown it feels like).

Yngvar had a 12k army left over from his adventure, and suddenly the nearby kingdoms of Brittany and Lotharingia, who had swallowed the counties I needed for the duchy of Valois, didn’t seem so scary with this prospective ally.

The only flaw in my plan was, he refused to marry my newborn daughter to his infant son matrilineally, but the babies were engaged anyway, and I could declare all the wars I wanted, throwing my puny 1k army at kingdoms, with Yngvar desperately running after my troups to save my ass, time and time again.

I got my duchy but the stress took its toll on Adelinde, who abdicated, leaving me to sort out heir situation for compassionate diligent arrogant Alix.

I am aware I could have broken off the engagement between the children but you have to understand 1) I was really, extremely grateful to Yngvar and 2) Alix’s husband, like his dad before him, was the only son surviving to adulthood. Like this dynasty was cursed to only have one child a generation, reminding me of my own situation.

Besides, having been engaged since birth, they were both really fond of each other. They had six kids together, that Alix could raise despite belonging to a court in another country, and when viking husband died of pox in their early 40s, the parting text was surprisingly romantic for a lesbian. Oh yeah, Alix was also a lesbian.

His death was honestly the best case scenario. I was hoping he would die young enough for Alix to have a kid belonging to her own dynasty, but I didn’t expect it working out so well.

Alix remarried, using the find spouse option which I never do (too boring !), but as we had been so busy raising six children, and also, I need to stress this, she was a lesbian, finding someone as narratively important as her first husband, and fast enough to conceive while she was still fertile, didn’t seem likely.

We picked this german guy, who already had a daughter, a fact I only became aware of when he asked me to sponsor said daughter. I actually really liked her, invited her to my court, arranged her marriage, raised her kids. She later became the right hand to her half sister, my heir.

Speaking of the heir, Alice, here are traits she could have inherited: -barren, Alix didn’t have it but I assume it was still in her DNA -dwarf, like her dad, the one I was hoping for -slow, quick, or intelligent, her mom having intelligent and her dad slow

Here is the trait she actually got out of nowhere: beautiful. A trait I would soon came to hate because it would not go away for generations and it makes for very bland characters. No freckles, no moles, no interesting features, just basic white bitches from that point onward.

Alice did one thing right by me though: she fell in love with her childhood friend, yet another parentless kid showing up at my court I felt obligated to raise because I’m not a monster.

Said kid was actually the son of a Karling woman, his great uncle had been the last king of France before the implosion. If they didn’t get together on their own, I would have married them later.

Now, let’s take a moment to check on her siblings. Remember, the six kids Alix had with her viking husband ?

When their dad died, the three eldest became rulers. That’s the eldest daughter and the bearded twins. One twin immediately attacked his sister and asked his mom to join the war, which she did so it would end quicker with less bloodshed. Since the twins were now ruling the duchy of Flanders on their own, Alix gave counties from Valois to the rest of them, found them spouses, then left them to their own devices once they were set and happy.

One day, I looked around and realized that while Alix was busy marrying her doppelganger (long story), Lotharingia, my old nemesis, had swallowed Flanders, yet I never got called to a defensive war.

Alix died soon after, and compassionate calm arrogant Alice, heralding the basic white bitch era, immediately got attacked by her brothers the viking twins. (Ignore my foray into cosmetic mods, it was short lived)

Alice’s entire reign was marked by defensive wars, and our dwindling fortune going to mercenaries’ pockets. Everyone had it out for her. Her perfect husband, the love of her life, died in one of those wars, leaving her with two young children. She remarried to some guy I honestly have no memory of, and had two more kids. I don’t remember any more about this era or her death than I do her second husband.

New ruler, first born daughter, had a name but I only remember her as Barbie. She’s probably the one who ruled the longest, but outside of the game deciding rakish was the best coping mechanism for my chaste asexual ruler, nothing noteworthy happened. First asexual ruler of the dynasty, she never married and never had kids, knowing she had enough siblings to get away with it.

But really, it’s because a perfect candidate for her husband showed up during Alice’s rule, but I didn’t save as I was losing a war. I never recovered.

Compassionate lazy chaste Barbie did two very important things in her life, first rebuilt the family fortune to twice what it ever was, and second, she swore fealty to Lotharingia, who had gotten bigger and bigger, once I realized a descendant of Alix was the ruler. All of Alix’s viking children had had children of their own, who intermarried, and somehow the dynasty were now ruling the biggest kingdom around. I suspect that’s why the twins or their kids swore fealty to Lotharingia in the first place, to take it from the inside.

The very last thing she did as a ruler, damning her immortal soul in the process, was assasinate her old crummy bishop when it was revealed he took her only niece as his lover. As she was generally awful in intrigue, she asked her niece and nephews to assist, which they all did, including the niece whose very lover they were trying to kill. This was me making amends, as I had never once paid attention to Barbie’s family during her life; I was on that money grind, too used to my one character generations.

It was now time to play the first male ruler of our dynasty, hopefully the last. Snorri was never supposed to rule; you see, Barbie’s brother had two sons, and fickle paranoid gregarious Snorri was the youngest. However, the oldest son, much more interesting, was serving as a religious figure for most of his adult life and could not inherit according to the game, something I didn’t notice until it was too late to do something about. The two brothers were best friends and always hanging out together so I didn’t mind that much..

Snorri is a surprising name for a frenchman, that’s because he was named after his grandfather: one of Alix’s kids, whose daughter somehow ended up married to Barbie’s brother, merging the two bloodlines together. I would soon see that yellow coat of arms with a Þ everywhere.

After the death of its king, Lotharingia became three separate kingdoms ruled by three siblings, France, Lotharingia, and Germania, and here is their family tree. That’s three (3) of Alix’s kids on the first line. From that point onward, I realized I didn’t have one, but two dynasties to look after, although the second one seemed to be doing very well without me.

The kingdom of France was back from the dead, with its capital somewhere in the duchy of Flanders because at that point, I had been ruling over Paris for more than a hundred years and I was not giving it up.

Snorri married his cousin Alice, also known as avenged niece, because I didn’t trust her to not get involved with another weird old man. They were really happy together, soulmates with 4 kids, or at least as happy as possible with a paranoid ruler doubting the child was his, every single pregnancy. Alice’s brothers also had kids, and the cousins growing up together was the first time it felt like an actual dynasty. We were 7 generations in at that point.

When he died, Snorri was remembered for huh, being a deviant with autoerotic asphyxiation tendencies, according to the game, but to me his biggest feat was joining every war the stupid king of France got into, and winning them all; he is the sole reason France didn’t become Lotharingia again.

Just ambitious diligent Bellesa (actually called Belleassez) was the first ruler with a smart-type trait since Alix, quick, despite both her parents only having variations of beautiful. For that alone, she was already pretty high on my list of favorites.

I didn’t have the luxury of waiting to organically meet a potential spouse, the way I usually like to play my characters: I needed prestige and I needed it fast to reform my new parisian culture, so I just picked whoever gave me the most of it, an indian princeling.

Her era was mostly me panicking that my dynasty got too big to keep track of. and trying to find a good coat of arms. Here is her losing one of the 5 kids I do not even remember us having, something that became an unwanted tradition as the next three generations would also lose one kid young.

It was also my first time in this game actually caring about my siblings AND my cousins and making sure they were thriving.

She abdicated of stress to her first born, honest trusting ambitious Samanta, named after what is technically the title of one of her paternal ancestors but nevermind that.

Samanta’s era was mostly trying to micromanage the two dynasties, making sure branches that would go extinct without my intervention were brought back into the fold, giving titles to those I could.

She also pulled a cask of amontillado on two pregnant women. One was in the way of marrying her childhood friend (from meet peers) whom I had decided would father our children while Samanta was busy having many female lovers including the queen of France; the other walled in woman was because she wanted to marry a prince of France to a distant relative. Neither woman was pregnant when the murder schemes were started, and it’s kind of weird that it happened the same way twice.

Marrying that childhood friend proved a bad idea, because he was a count in another french duchy, but his mother was one of our vassal, and weirdly her son didn’t inherit when she died; instead the county went to my 6yo daughter and heir, now living as a grown-up outside my court.

Fortunately, it only lasted about six years as Samanta died in her early 40s leaving me to play her 12yo kid. Her birth name was Héloïse but when I saw how much she resembled a young Claire Danes in Romeo + Juliet, she was renamed Juliette.

Despite having played part of her childhood, forgiving ambitious stubborn Juliette did not form close ties with anyone, and no Romeo ever came her way, as she was asexual. She married a french princeling who immediately cheated on her with her cousin, and they divorced less than a year into the marriage.

Juliette’s era was also dynasty management and giving titles to as many relatives as I could, because the king kept giving me duchies I did not want. Maybe over gratitude for the family tradition Snorri established, of winning wars for the foolhardy King of France, that we never stopped doing. I didn’t want any more duchy because I was playing tall and focusing on my two counties, and I keep tabs on almost all my relatives all the time anyway, might aswell make them landed.

It was also the era of going back to the french culture we diverged from, because I was finally powerful enough to become culture head. (The french royals were now welsh for some reason)

She eventually (10 years later) married some intelligent and club-footed guy to spice things up now that we were finally free of the beautiful trait, but he turned out to be a cannibal. At that point we already had had (and lost) kids so whatever, keeping him. Outside of the flesh eating thing, he was very nice !

Our heir, ambitious calm vengeful Rosaline, proving to me once and for all that marrying your heir before they’re playable is a mistake, decided to cheat on her very sweet andalusian husband, father of her newborn baby, with a crummy old man, and out of desperation of not being able to break them up, I kept her under house arrest until he died.

It took 12 years, her entire young adulthood, and she hated me for it, but she resumed her life afterwards, having another kid with her husband, even forgiving her mother shortly before her death. No I don’t know either why I didn’t just kill him.

Fate came at her with her vengeance, when the teen daughter she didn’t see grow up for 12 years was roped in a relation with her own crummy old man, got pregnant, then died protecting him of her mother’s assassin.

A lot of things happened very fast in less than 2 years after that event: Juliette had her second son by her husband at 45, got seduced by the heir to the Kingdom of France, somehow got pregnant despite her age, had a legitimized bastard daughter, his first born child, so second in line for the throne, and her husband got murdered. It’s like she took all the years she missed out on living under house arrest, and decided to cram them in two.

Bastard princess and last baby was called Adelinde, a throwback to the first baby of this dynasty who also arrived very late. Unfortunately, she got a beautiful trait from her father, just when I thought I was free of it for good.

That’s where I stopped playing, because I didn’t vibe with being the kingdom of France. I had changed succession laws to female preference at some point, and Rosaline only had two surviving sons from her marriage.

I might pick it up again someday, but my norse-gael game, started when Northern Lords released, is still trying to recover from patches, and I have a feeling Tours and Tournaments will not be kind to existing saves.

I learned a lot though, about playing tall, about warfare, about the kind of gameplay I enjoy. A blast.

Dame Alix would be for us merely a name on a few timestained charters, the nebulous progenitrix of a noble line of Breton dukes, had she not married a man who while he may well have been a fond husband and devoted father, was certainly an ambitious and arrogant baron. But some fortunate mixture of affection, piety, and pride moved Peter to enshrine his family where he, his wife, and his two elder children would shine forth in varied colors from the lancet windows of the south transept of the cathedral of Chartres to rejoice the eyes of countless generations. In the lower part of the central lancet glow Peter's arms-alternate squares of blue and gold which designated the house of Dreux quartered with ermines which were Peter's personal insignia. The two lancets to the right of the center are occupied by Peter and John, those to the left by Alix and Yolande. Peter, kneeling in prayer in an armorial surcoat, looks far from comfortable and prepared for instant flight from his pious environment. As the feelings of a Christian martyr must have been very similar to those of Peter in prayer, it would be useless to probe the mind of the artist for his model. Peter looks unhappy-but so do the saints above him. Alix, John, and Yolande with their attending saints seem far more content.

-Sidney Painter, The Scourge of the Clergy: Peter of Dreux, Duke of Brittany

Medieval Brittany

Brittany was a region with strong traditions of independance, with an ethnic identity, a language and culture of its own. Formal integration into and continued interaction with the Carolingian empire, and with adjacent regions, nevertheless ensured that the political and social institutions of Brittany were similar to those prevailing elsewhere in western Francia. This was especially true of the eastern portion of the medieval duchy (the counties of Rennes and Nantes) which were within the Carolingian Breton march.

Brittany was severely affected by Viking attacks, and when ducal authority was re-established in the 930s (with the first ducal charters surviving from the 940s), it remained fragile. Dynastic disputes caused the political fragmentation of the duchy into counties. Comital authority was in turn diminished by the appearance of adulterine castellanies, which by the mid-twelth century constituted independant baronies. Comital authority further suffered from the pressures of resisting claims to overlordship pursued by both the dukes of Normandy and the counts of Anjou in the tenth and eleventh centuries. The process of fragmentation was halted and reversed from the mid-eleventh century, when intermarriage among the comital houses resulted in the ducal title vesting in one individual, Duke Alan IV (1084-1112). It remained for the ducal dynasty to revive central authority. The long and stable reigns of Alan IV and his son Conan III (1112-1148), ably assisted by the dowager-duchess Ermengard, daughter of Count Fulk IV of Anjou, saw progress in this direction.

A succession dispute following Conan's death not only undid the dukes' achievement, but also created the circumstances in which the claims to overlordship by neighboring princes could be fulfilled in the person of Henry II, king of England, duke of Normandy and count of Anjou. Between 1158 and 1166, Henry II annexed Brittany to his continental possessions, marrying his younger son Geoffrey to Constance, heiress of the duchy. The Plantagenet regime in Brittany further consolidated important links with the Anglo-Norman kingdom, which began with grants of lands in England to Bretons who had supported William the Conqueror in 1066 and later his son Henry I. The largest bloc of English lands, the honour of Richmond, pertained to the dukes of Brittany by hereditary right after 1146, but other Bretons held English lands in chief of the crown independantly of Richmond.

The Plantagenet regime came to an end in 1203, in consequence of King John's murder of his nephew Arthur, the son of Duke Geoffrey and Constance. From that point, Brittany was indisputably subject to Capetian authority, which could now be exercised directly. Brittany had at all times acknowledged Capetian sovereignty- even the Plantagenet rulers had rendered homage for the duchy to the kings of France- but typically of the principalities, this sovereignty was purely nominal until the early thirteenth century. Nevertheless, after the marriage of infant heiress, Alix, to Pierre de Dreux, a Capetian cadet, in 1213, Brittany was allowed a large measure of autonomy, subject to the continued acknowledgement of Capetian sovereignty, and the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries would see the golden age of ducal Brittany.

eleanor of aquitaine, both husbands, kids from both marriages, and any grandchildren you prefer <3

Aight that is indeed a lot of people...LET'S DO IT :D They'll be pretty short bc that's a lot of people

Eleanor of Aquitaine:

-One hell of a sarcastic woman, everything she says usually bleeds sarcasm (her daughter Matilda is equally just as sarcastic)

-Somehow has the patience to put up with her kids' dumbassery

-T A L L W O M A N (very tall I don't make the rules)

-Says she loves her kids equally, but prefers her daughters (and Richard) more

-Remember how I said Empress Matilda is intimidating? Meet her equally intimidating daughter in-law

Henry II:

-Poor guy misses half of his wife's sarcasm and then immediately turns to stare at her like "wait a god damn minute"

-"I don't know where my sons got the idea of teenage rebellion from-" Has family members who are the living definition of teenage rebellion

-While his wife is tall af, he's actually pretty average. So their children range from tall to short.

-"I had a bad day and will now proceed to make it everyone's problem :)"

Louis VII:

-Well y'know, one day you're married and have 2 beautiful daughters and the next day you're a single dad

-Tries his best to be a dad, but let's be real dad wasn't part of the job description

-Watches the absolute chaos that is his ex-wife's new family with a bowl of popcorn

-Pretty much a girl dad because that's what happens when you have 5 daughters

Marie of France (the eldest):

-On pretty good terms with her half-siblings on both sides, but holy SHIT is it tiring to be the eldest on both sides

-Pretty chill mom (four kids are easy to manage)

-Geoffrey would probably be her favorite brother. As for favorite sister? She won't say anything.

-Actually has a little bit of sass in her, she just doesn't show it.

Alix of France:

-Way to happy to be here

-Much like her older sister, she's a pretty chill mom; however, 7 kids is a lot more work than 4 kids

-Tougher than she looks with an added bonus of some of her mother's sarcasm

-Her and Eleanor, Fair Maid of Brittany would've gotten along SO well. She would've been the BEST aunt hands down.

William of England (the baby):

-Baby

-Absolute baby

-That's it send tweet

Henry the Young King:

-Best big brother...but only to his younger sisters. His brothers can go suck an egg half the time.

-I feel like he totally could be like his mother if he wanted to. Just to piss his father off.

-Him and Matilda are the number one sibling duo they do everything together

-Him and Margaret of France? Best friends to husband and wife. You can't convince me otherwise.

Matilda of England:

-Looks like her mom, acts like her mom. (Mom loves it, dad hates it. Grandma however gets a kick out of it)

-100% done with her siblings' shit

-Probably told the Holy Roman Emperor to fuck off after giving birth to her third kid.

-Absolutely 100% done with that guy's shit too btw.

Richard the Lionheart:

-His mother absolutely adores him as much as his sisters

-Him and his wife have a somewhat healthy relationship that's much better than his parents (I said what I said) however, they're more friends than a married couple

-Him and his sister Joan are the MOST CHAOTIC PAIR IN THE WHOLE FAMILY

-Stopped giving a fuck by the time he was a teenager (that was a GREAT decision)

Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany:

-He's the sibling who has dirt on anyone and everyone who fucked with him

-Would have a mug that says "#1 Dad" let's be real. He'd also be the type of dad who shows off photos of his kids bc he's so proud.

-Probably the only brother with a marriage effective in both the management and family life departments

-"Of course I'm friends with Dad's enemy's son and Richard's maybe-boyfriend. What's the worst that could happen?" Famous last words-

Eleanor of England, Queen of Castile:

-Named after her mother, acts nothing like her

-Would probably cry if someone yells at her

-Best mom ever (her and Geoffrey would probably just talk about their kids for hours)

-"We just have a few kids, nothing too bad." Has more than "a few" kids

Joan of England:

-Looks like her dad, acts a LOT like her grandmother and mother

-Takes NO shit from anyone (probably called the king of Cyprus a bitch after her and her sister in-law shipwrecked and he captured them)

-Remember how Joan's mom is tall and her dad isn't as tall? Well...Joan's short. Very short. Which adds to the chaos levels.

-The amount of S A S S this woman radiates

King John (the youngest):

-Probably gets picked on for being the baby of the family

-"Yes I know I married a 12 year old. What about it?"

-I would say good uncle since several of his siblings had kids, but *gestures to the whole mess with Geoffrey's kids*

-Tried to be a good dad, but y'know

And now...some of the MANY grandkids...

Berengaria, Queen of Castile:

-The apple of her parents' eyes and the eldest

-Best big sister best big sister BEST BIG SIS-

-Best mom as well

-Has no idea what kind of stuff her family's on

Eleanor, Fair Maid of Brittany:

-Her parents' baby (until her sister was born)

-Would absolutely give her uncle and cousin hell for what they did if they weren't kings (and if her dad hadn't beaten her to it)

-Would've adored her half-sisters from her mother's third marriage

-Something tells me she probably would've adopted some of her dad's behaviors (because that's the Plantagenet way)

Arthur I, Duke of Brittany:

-I've made several posts about him, so...coolest big brother ever. He lets his little sisters sit with him in meetings.

-Probably acts a lot like his mother, but has a bit of the anger that runs through his dad's family

-If him and Philip II of France's daughter Marie had married...I'm predicting a possible power couple right there.

-He would've been a great king god damn it John-

Joan, Queen of Scotland:

-Hopeless romantic 100%

-Gets along with her brothers so well, it almost rivals Henry the Young King and Matilda

-Is very much like her aunt Eleanor, she will cry if someone yells at her

-Tries not to pay attention to her shitstorm of a family

Marie of Champagne, Latin Empress:

-The younger daughter and namesake of Marie of France, she is the spitting image of her mother and acts almost exactly like her.

-Absolutely adores her two daughters despite the small amount of time she had with them.

-Her husband is head over heels in love with her, but she wishes he would just...calm down a little bit.

-Got along with her siblings for the most part
