General Summary

King Idres is pursuing his campaign of conquest, hiring mercenaries. The leader of Ascalon, Erbin, is hiring for the year, too. Some Saxon kings are demanding double, or even triple, tribute this year. The leader of Huntland pays homage. He can no longer afford to pay tribute, but does not want to fight and lose. This means the King of Essex now has Cymric knights at this beck and call. King Idres invades Ascalon, forces their army to retreat to Exeter and besieges the town. After a brief siege, Ascalon surrenders to King Idres and pays homage to him.
