The conquest has held. England is claimed, Normandy is watched, and the question at the top of the reign is whether the crown can be held long enough to pass it on.
One turn covers one to three years. The event deck is drawn in historical order, so the reign unfolds the way it happened — until your decisions push it somewhere else.
Aggregate reading 28 of 50 across the five crowns of the royal instrument.
1067Early Consolidation
Having secured the crown at Westminster, William crosses back to Normandy to be seen in his own duchy, leaving England under the care of his regents. The crossing is a statement: the Conqueror still holds both shores.
You return from Normandy to England, where the earls watch for any sign of weakness and the north has yet to be settled. The land is yours on parchment; the men who hold it must still be convinced.
Grants estates to the men who won the kingdom, binding them to the crown by soil rather than oath.
Offers terms and offices to the surviving English thegns, trading secure obedience for a slower grip.
Widens the sheriffs’ reach and the geld rolls, so the crown collects faster than the magnates can resist.
