This man is heir to the Duchy of the Isles. Martain's time as a ward of Fedlimid on the Isle of Man sees him grow into a kind, humble and charitable young man.įedlimid urges us to not work so hard and enjoy life.Īnother claimant from Scotland arrives in our court. After his move is settled, we re-affirm him as our guardian and somehow I feel safer with us residing in his court rather than at home with the Uncle. Our war against Scotland is over and Fedlimid becomes Earl of the Isle of Man in our service. Something happens that we can't quite understand, but the result is that our mother is replaced as regent by one of our uncles suddenly. He caves in and allows city taxes to be reduced back to normal.įedlimid proves to be a good caretaker and watches out after us. Our poor little king doesn't have the savvy to deal with these sort of requests yet. We occupy every holding on the Isle, and then move north to sack the county of Carrick.Ī petition reaches our king from the realms mayors demanding a cut to city taxes. I don't even think we see a Scottish soldier during this entire war. The Scottish King deals with his rebellious duke while we siege the Isle of Man. I should also mention that Fedlimid is our king's guardian and tutor. Pressing his claim on the Isle of Man will bring it into our realm, since its a lower ranked title and he is a member of our dynasty. Fedlimid Ua Briain is the son of a claimant who we invited to our court and married matrilineally into our family years ago. Our realm is actually stable enough - and Scotland is unstable enough - that we can press a claim for one of our courtiers on the Isle of Man. The Shia Caliphate was extremely strong and stable during this crusade.

Even with our continued help, its likely that this would have been the result.

The Caliph's forces prove victorious and crush the crusading armies without losing any ground. With the aid of her and Chancellor Donnchad's diplomatic skill, we are actually able to avoid civil war even while in a regency. The young, club-footed King Martain takes the throne at the age of 3 with his mother acting as Regent. Part 8: Everybody Loves Martain 1148 - 1170
