Grandfather's history:
Your Grandfather started out with 1060 Glory.
Year 439:
This is a typical year for its era: The Saxons raid heavily but are driven off by the noble knights of Britain.
Of special note is the fact that an heir is born into your family some time during this year — your father, eldest son of your grandfather.
Nothing significant occurred.
Year 440:
During this year, King Constantin is murdered by one of his own guards.
Served garrison duty and survived Pictish raiding. (10)
Years 441-442:
At the urging of Duke Vortigern of the Gewessi, the High Council chooses Constans, the young son of Constantin, as king. Constans is a young, bookish type, however, so he relies on his uncle, Duke Vortigern, for advice.
Served garrison duty. Survived raiding. (20)
Year 443:
Young King Constans is murdered by his Pictish bodyguards. After much debate, Duke Vortigern is selected to be the next King of the Britons. The younger brothers of King Constans are taken away to Brittany in secret. Also this year, a prelate from the pope, the saintly Germanus, comes to Britain to condemn and combat British Christianity. Your grandfather either resists or supports this, depending upon the family’s choice of religion.
Served garrison duty. Killed by raiders. (20)
Your Grandfather's history ends here. He amassed 1110 Glory!
Father's history:
Your Father started out with 1111 Glory.
Year 464:
In this year, your father marries to procure an heir (rather than for love). He is fortunate in that his own father was favored by the Earl of Salisbury, and that there are many heiresses now, in the wake of the Night of Long Knives, needing protection. He marries a widow with a manor of her own, who, thanks to her former husband, also has a modicum of Glory before she remarries (which thus accrues to your father).
Married. (50)
Year 465:
Vortigern, with his Saxons, marches back and forth across Britain, extracting tribute and plunder. Many more Britons fiee the land. Your father, a young knight, remains in his lands, tends to his manor, and waits with his lord. Vortigern escapes from the Saxons and takes refuge in Gomeret, attempting to build a fortress. The youthful Merlin makes his appearance and begins his career here.
You are born.
Years 466-467:
Aurelius Ambrosius, son of the former King Constantin and brother of Constans, lands in Hampshire with an army from Brittany. He carries a great banner with a red dragon upon it. All across the land, discontented nobles muster their armies and join him. Vortigern seeks to escape, but his Saxon allies go back home to Kent, and many other allies desert him. After besieging a portion of Vortigern’s army at Carlion, Aurelius Ambrosius marches through the entire island, accepting the submission of those loyal to Vortigern.
Fought at the Siege of Carlion (60)
Year 468:
Aurelius Ambrosius and his army pursue Vortigern and besiege him in his new castle on Mount Snowdon. A battle ensues, at which Vortigern is killed and his army scattered. Aurelius Ambrosius summons the High Council, and they elect him High King. He takes the title of Pendragon (“high dragon” or “head dragon”), derived from his great battle banner.
Died: Other accident
