The Algarve Kings

Algarve Family Tree

With the death of Gervais the direct line of father to son kings that streched back to 1124 with only the brief inturruption of Eudes de Vitry came to an end. Gervais failed to produce a male heir in his short reign and the throne passed to his younger brother Hamelin. Hamelin's reign was just long enough for someone to assasinate his legitimate son Guy, and not long enough for him to recognize Baudouin as legitimate. The throne passed to Hamelin's 2nd cousin Hugues Duke of Algarve.

Hugues III

Hugues comes to the throne unexpectedly. Hamelin was young enough to have several sons. Hugues has 5 children, 3 sons and two daughters. His eldest son Gilbert if already 19. The realm is relatively secure. The Ilkhanate is in the middle of an independence war it is losing. The nobles are not pleased with Hugues as king and a rebellion is expected soon.

  • 1342.6.19 We immediately betroth our son to a Princess of Navarre
  • 1342.8.10 A hole has opened up in the kingdom. Whatever.
  • 1343.1.3 My son Giles comes of age. He is better suited than his older brother. He will marry the daughter of a German baron to make up for his lack of intrigue.
  • 1343.1.12 The proposal is rejected? What is that baron thinking.
  • 1343.2.4 The lords of Jerusalem and I agree to revoke the county of Acre from the duke of Makuria. Of course we go to war.

  • 1343.5.2 Acre returns to the duchy of Jerusalem where it belongs
  • 1343.5.31 Hugues died of stress. He was unable to deal with the dislike from the vassals and the Pit of Hell. He is succeeded by his son Gilbert.

Hugues III was only king for 2 years. Nothing changed.

Gilbert I

Gilbert comes to the throne much earlier than expected. He is unmarried, but betrothed to a Princess of Navarre. He has bastard son Gaucher but his heir is is much more suited brother.

  • 1343.5.31 My brother will marry a Princes of Byzantium hanging around the court. I think she was a former kings wife.
  • 1343.11.16 Unwilling to wait for her now that I am king I break the betrothal to Navarre and arrange a betrothal to a 15 year old Leventine genius.
  • 1344.4.3 The Independence rebellion begins. The only reason I will fight it to maintain title revocation.
  • 1344.11.8 I have gotten married. The daughter of the Patrician of Ascalon was a very good choice.
  • 1347.4.4 After losing a province to the Muslims our enemy died. The rebellion ends, just so it can start with the same guys in a few months.
  • 1347.4.9 as predicted they rebel again. Haven't even let the levies go yet.
  • 1347.12.23 The Duke of the Aegean declares war on us for Taranto.
  • 1348.9.15 Gascogne declares war on the rebels and promptly destroyed my army in France. I am forced to take a huge loan and hire the Alan Raiders.
  • 1349.1.14 An independence revolt starts with everyone no already rebelling. This sucks I cant even surrender to the revocation revolt because the rebel holding are held by Navarre. Fucking vassals.
  • 1349.2.26 Hormuz has 33,00 hostile troops because they are attacking Ascalon. We are so screwed.
  • 1349.3.31 The Pope excommunicates me. Can it get worse?
  • 1349.12.2 Finally good new a son is born. Valeran will be his name
  • 1351.1.21 The wars drag on. Foreign powers keep taking territory. Another son Hugues is born.
  • 1352.10.2 Another son Berenger. Too bad there wont be enough realm to leave to them
  • 1354.8.30 Ascalon's mercenary army catches our in Hebron. We have no forces left.
  • 1354.12.19 The Pope calls a crusade for Egypt
  • 1355.5.5 The title revocation war has been won.
  • 1356.6.12 I crown myself the King of Egypt so that when the Crusade is won we get the land.
  • 1356.9.10 The Pope has won Egypt for us.
  • 1359.5.29 I have been excommunicated again?
  • 1360.7.11 After 17 years our enemy dies and the rebellion ends. I expect them to start again soon. I trade some land to the Pop in return for lifting the excommunication
  • 1360.9.2 Another revolt to lower crown authority.
  • 1361.3.30 And the independence revolt starts again.
  • 1365.12.2 My son comes of age. He will marry princes of Nubia, hopefully her father will aid us. He does not.

  • 1375.6.21 The mongols have lost their war.
  • 1376.11.26 King Gilbert has died. He is succeeded by his son Valeran

King Gilbert never had a chance. There was not a single year when his vassals were not in revolt, and in most there were two revolts going on. He was in debt most of the time and fighting for his life. He didn't have a chance to raise his son properly or even rule.

Valeran

Valeran comes to the throne at age 26. He is married and has a daughter. And the rebellions continue.
  • 1377.9.22 A son is born. He will be named Baudouin and be as his forefathers.

  • 1385.3.24 I have decided the kingdom is unwieldy I will grant independence to some isolated areas that are a problem: Poitou, Toulouse, Carcassonne, Adrianopolis
  • 1386.3.27 Isolated rulers are always a bad idea. We declare Holy war for Asyut, a lone Shia. Which is a mistake since Alexandria is already taking it. Instead we will retake Taranto.
  • 1386.7.2 Just as the fleet sets sail for Italy word comes that the Shia Caliph declares a Jihad for Egypt.
  • 1386.9.23 The Pope calls a Crusade for Algeria. Sweden has offered to aid us against the Jihad.
  • 1386.12.22 My daughter marries the king of Serbia and Croatia. Leon joins is in the Jihad

  • 1395.8.14 King Valeran has received a crushing blow to the head.
  • 1395.9.26 King Valeran has died. He is succed by his son Baudouin.

King Valeran had a short reign. Just as things were calming down he was struck down in a minor revolt.

Sultan Baudouin IV

Baudouin comes to the throne unmarried. He is betrothed to an 8 year old genius but at 18 he may not be willing to wait. His heir is his younger brother Raoul. Baudouin immediatly angres his noble by crowning himself Sultan not King. His reign will not be long.

  • 1404.3.2 My wife is pregnant.

  • 1404.8.11 Khagan timur has died, his son 15 year old Alchi is now Khagan.
  • 1404.10.1 My wife has delivered a son to me. The nursemaid suggested Fayiz he will be a success as his name implies.
  • 1404.11.23 Portucale has been forced to surrender. I can no longer revoke titles since the Timurd laws dont allow it.

The regin of Baudouin was one of massive changes. He was the first King to embarce the native culture, liberted troublsome Dukes, and in a secret deal vassalized himself to the Timurids. He leaves behind a 10 year old son and a 6 year old son.

    Fayiz was an interesting character, Leventine but Catholic and the greatest vassal of the Islamic Timurds. He fought off a Crusade for Egypt, and expelled the Pope from his holding in Egypt. The only war he ever lost was the independance war against his leige. The kinslaying of his uncle was held over him as a fault his whole reign, he was excommunicated but also rewarded by the Pope for his work against the Muslim. He leaves a 15 year old son who has the promise to bee the greate king of Jerusalem ever.
