    KrasimirProfile.gif

    Image: Krasimir's profile through his years as king.

    Krasimir’s reign was not as long, nor as illustrious as his father’s, and he mainly focused on internal affairs rather than expanding the realm, although later in his reign, he did manage to conquer a sizeable portion of Lombardy.

    He finished the process his father started, rearranging the vassal structure of the realm. Dealing with a major rebellion for a large part of his reign, he was forced to abandon the tributary contract with Bavaria.

    Krasimir is succeeded by his three daughters, Natalija, Kristina, and Petra.

    1. 3.1.1186 - Natalija [heir]
    2. 3.10.1192 - Kristina
    3. 3.4.1992 - Petra

    Image: Family tree showing Krasimir's family.

    Note: Krasimir had a number of children with his lover Capeka, who was married to Euphemios Lampinos. None of the children’s lineages were ever exposed, so they were considered legitimate children of Euphemios and Capeka.

    1. 26.10.1178, Krasimir
    2. 13.5.1180, Vid
    3. 13.2.1185, Natalija
    4. 13.7.1196, Teodor

    His full title at the time of his death was:

    King Krasimir of Illyria, Croatia, and Jerusalem, Duke of Carinthia and Friuli, Count of Krain, Aquileia, Istria, Kärnten, Veglia, Mantua, Treviso, Verona, Padua, Steiermark, and Protector of Jerusalem.

    Despite making advances in Lombardy, he did not succeed in his father’s quest for the Kingdom either. Perhaps one of his daughters will have more luck.

    He died on 29.5.1201, and was succeeded by his daughter Natalija, aged 15, who inherited all his titles.

    He ruled for 24 years.

    Year 1130-1177: King Vid of Illyria

    AHuaSdd.gif

    Image: Vid's profile through the years.

    Vid’s reign was marked by a massive expansion of the family’s titles. In his early reign, Vid vassalized the Duchies of Bosnia and Slavonia, and legitimizing his rule over them by declaring the Knigdom of Croatia.

    He also brought his mother’s holdings in Padua into his realm, claiming them in a war with the Kingdom of Lombardy, and later inherited them himself, and secured the Kingdom of Bavaria into a long-term tributary treaty under the Kingdom of Illyria.

    However, his biggest achievement was the role he played in the Crusade for Jerusalem. Controlling Venice and a large part of the Adriatic coast, Vid was in important player in the holy war, and his contributions were so pivotal that when the Crusade ended successfully, Vid was elected by the Pope to be the protector of Jerusalem, granting him the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

    During his later reign, however, Vid could not conquer the final goal he had set for his reign - the Kingdom of Lombardy. Instead, in his old age, his son Krasimir was already acting as regent, and focus had to be turned inward after a civil war broke out. The rebellion was crushed, but the faction opposing Vid decided the old king should make room for his younger son, and Vid met an end under suspicious circumstances that were never resolved.

    His realm structure (personal titles in bold, vassals in italic, minor (baronial) titles not included, any title obtained or altered outside of his direct inheritance has dates included) :

    • Kingdom of Illyria
      • Duchy of Carinthia
        • County of Aquileia
        • County of Istria
        • County of Kärnten
        • County of Krain
      • Duchy of Croatia
        • County of Senj

        • County of Mantua
        • County of Treviso
        • County of Verona

      • Knights Hospitaller [13.3.1165 - Vassalized by holy decree]
    • Kingdom of Croatia [13.10.1132 - Founded]
      • Duchy of Slavonia [19.8.1132 - Conquered Vassal, includes lower titles, 4.2.1175 - Revoked]
        • County of Krizevci
        • County of Zagreb
        • County of Varazdin
        • County of Dubrovnik
      • Duchy of Bosnia [1.6.1133 - Vassalized, includes lower titles]
        • County of Usora
    • Kingdom of Jerusalem [1.2.1165 - Founded as aftermath of Crusade, all lower titles conquered same day]
      • Prince-Archbishopric of Oultrejourdain

    Image: A timelapse of Vid's lands and influence. Not pictured are the lands of his wife & ally, Alice Karling, Duchess suo jure of Orleans, Countess of Chartres and Toledo. Her holdings were part of the Empire of Francia. She was also the head of the historical Karling dynasty.

    Despite his lack of interest in women, he fathered 5 children with his wife:

    1. 22.8.1127 - Tihana [heir presumptive until 14.8.1135], died 17.4.1151
    2. 14.8.1135 - Krasimir [heir]
    3. 14.8.1137 - Emilija [Basilissa of the Byzantine Empire, married her cousin Theodoros 25.5.1157]
    4. 26.2.1139 - Teodor
    5. 14.6.1149 - Natalija

    Image: Family tree showing Vid's family - his father Teodor III, his siblings and his children, including his heir, future King Krasimir. His daughter Emilija became Basilissa of the Byzantime Empire after marrying her cousin, Basileus Theodoros in 25.5.1157.

    His full title at the time of his death was:

    King Vid ‘the Just’ of Illyria, Croatia, and Jerusalem, Duke of Carinthia, Slavonia, Tyrol and Friuli, Count of Krain, Aquileia, Istria, Kärnten, Senj, Veglia, Mantua, Treviso, Verona, Padua, Steiermark, and Protector of Jerusalem. Suzerain of Bavaria, Duke of Orleans jure uxoris, Magus and First-Among-Equals of the Hermetic Society, founder of the Kingdom of Croatia and restorer of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

    QXYZqBZ.png

    Image: Teodor's death screen, with the royal emblem of Illyria visible at the top.

    He died on 28.4.1177, and was succeeded by his son Krasimir, aged 41, who inherited all his titles and tributaries.

    His reign was marked by an internal restructuring of the Kingdom, doubling the number of vassals under the Illyrian crown, and adding the crowns of Jerusalem and Croatia to the Lanik family.

    He also arranged a number of important marriages, including that of his daughter to the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, and the betrothal of his sons & nephews to influential members of the various European Empires, in hopes of securing a future for the Lanik dynasty outside of the realm of Illyria.

    He ruled for 47 years.

    Player note: Oh hello. It's been 3254235 years but I'm back with an update! I want to bring this game to completion. The Kingdom of Jerusalem was definitely an unexpected turn of events ? My current goal is the claim the Kingdom of Lombardy and then found an Empire. I think I might stop expanding at that point. I also wanted to see if I could get more Lanik family members on various thrones around the world, but haven't focused specifically on that. We shall see what the future holds!

    Also, small note on the Kingdom of Jerusalem titles - due to the way holy wars work, for a hot second, Vid owned every single title in it, but I divvied it up to different rulers practically instantly so I didn't remark on that in the "historical" overview.
