1448 - A year to remember
After a few months of sieging Munster they concede. A messenger brings us the happy news.
We send them a peace proposal offering them annexation into glorious Leinster and they accept. We start the festivities but in the midst of all the drinking and singing a strange looking man wants to speak to our king. Turns out he's not the new jester, he just wearing the latest fashion by Italian standards. He brings the most unexpected of tidings..
Turns out Munster was controlling a cardinal, and not just an ordinary one but the one with the most influence in the curia. We are now the papal controller.
We tell our advisors not to get used to this luxury as we wont invest in keeping control of the curia. We too small for that, but we'll enjoy it as long as it lasts.
