07/27/2017  The Italian Wars of the 1600s: Medici and Hapsburg storyline DMC+THE Category: Uncategorized It was  a moment of  speed that Fabian knew he had to face as a recent usurper  to the throne of Bohemia, and the title of Kaiser was not quite his yet even though he killed the kaiser previously.   He knew the one thing left to do was to  bribe the main branch of the family to allow his power. However, that would be difficult and so he head down to Vienna with partisan regiments of hussars , specially trained skirmishing light foot and dragoons.  At this time,  Fabian had his plan with the partisan corps: threaten the Archduke Leopold I of Austria to give up his position and therefore secure himself that throne, and force  the smaller dukes to elect him after.  This plan, of course, is a success and   Leopold I was just King of Hungary,where he'd spend the rest of his days  until he catches syphilis from royal orgies and dies. Now, Fabian is  Kaiser officially and enforces his reign to be despotic knowing the Holy Roman Empire's only problem being that it was a confederation of duchies instead of  a true empire without a trace of feudalism.. During this time, he bribes the Swedes, English and Russians not to interfere as he  makes his way  conquering  duchy after duchy unifying the empire and making the rank of Kaiser an autocratic one. It was then at the year 1660 that Fabian looks to external affairs as he had already united his land. Also, whilst he had no heir, he had to  be careful and conquer primarily through politics and to stop the other Hapsburgs, who were now primarily of the Spanish branch, from avenging his  attack upon his own branch. It was soon that Raimondo Montecuccoli, the great general from Naples(one of the military geniuses of the era), began a conquest in northern Italy threatening the Venetian allies as well as the De Medici family of Tuscany. Fabian, seeing that this could mean a reconquest of   Austria, sends the partisan corps ahead of the main force. The partisan force of 6,000 men and he knew he only needed 12,000 men in the main force to   successfully enter and  take Italy without many logistical feats. The partisan corps enters into near Rome and takes camp in the Apennine range  to harass any Hapsburg or Papal forces daring to enter northern Italy. His force also takes some time and encamps  in Venice, whilst sending a diplomatic initiative to Florence hoping  that they'd join up as close comrades. 07: PM 1 Comments  (Add Comment)  | 2 Kudos  Back to Blog List

	Priestess Caressa Aryan De Medici (M)(AC)(DMC)	It was 1660 and Caressa De Medici was visiting for Vienna branch. This is one of the branches that her businesses merchandised in. Although she succeeded in her natural and healing gifts the most powerful of the gifts her priestess power. Yes she was one of the most well known priestess in this time but an awesome business woman. She was able to convince a lot of rulers to invest in her and was very profitable to them and made a successful business and allies in the process. Since her mother slumber, things have been slow on the war front especially since defeating her grandmother Ravenna and her sister Freya. But she was always seeking new appliances and loyalties as the battle between the children and them left us with half an army. News travelled across the country of the battle and we were respected within the land. News on the recruitment of alliance to join the De Medici family spread and many came far and wide to prove themselves but never had the numbers or man power that deemed necessary to protect for the uprising of Ravenna and Freya's return. One such alliance that was interesting and spread across the land was on Fabian. Fabian's travels and conquests with several different countries was highly impressive and he commanded his army as they respected him as did others. Caressa made a phone call to Fabian's people to get in touch with him as we belong to the same inter circles with meetings and on goings. She was excited that he had agreed to meet with her that she planned out the meeting to a tee with no interruptions or interferences.
