Description

Since the time of the Normans, our country has been divided between the Principality of the north and west and the Marches of the south and east. The Marches were granted to English families who have spent their time fighting each other, bringing in English and Flemish settlers and oppressing the native Welsh. Now the Marcher Lords have been weakened by generations of fighting in France and England. We should take this opportunity to reduce their power and to begin to unify our realm.

Henry rewarded his companions, including much of the nobility of Wales, with land in England and positions in his court.

Description

Henry Tudor, the grandson of the adventurer Owain ap Maredudd ap Tudur ap Goronwy, has landed in Wales and seeks our support in his bid for the throne of England. He has been spreading stories among our people, reminding them of the old prophecies about a hero, an Arthur or an Owain Glyn Dwr come again, who will deliver them from oppression. Now he has come here with an army and unfurled the red dragon battle-flag of Cadwaladr, the last King of all Britannia. If we ignore his presumption and support him he has a good chance of success. King Richard's hold on the throne is weak. But I fear that our nobles will follow him to England, hoping for places in his court as their reward. Our independent Wales could soon become a memory.

Actions

A. Support Henry Tudor

B. Let Henry Tudor pass

C. I am the heir of Arthur and Cadwaladr. I will test these prophecies myself

Description

We have sad news to report concerning Rhys ap Gruffydd of Dinefwr, the grandson of the late Rhys ap Thomas, may God rest his soul. We did not give him his grandfather's office of chamberlain of South Wales, the family had already grown far too powerful. Now we believe that he plans to seek more power by other means, and has been looking for support from abroad. With the chaotic state of the world at the moment, we cannot tolerate even the possibility of treachery. We must make this clear to our nobles.

Description

We have interesting news from the West Country. The English are preparing an army to impose the English-language prayer book on our cousins there. The Cornish are afraid of losing what remains of their independence in this drive towards centralization and uniformity. We must go to their aid, just as Arthur, the Boar of Cornwall, came to ours when he trampled the necks of the Saxon invaders so long ago.

Description

Other princes are making fortunes and building empires in the new world across the ocean. Our scholars have discovered records showing that some of this wealth rightfully belongs to us. They relate to the legend of Madog ab Owain Gwynedd, a distant ancestor, who is said to have founded a colony in the 12th century near what the Spaniards call Florida. We could exploit this to justify a claim to the new world older than those of France, England or Spain.
