Alain's Rebellion

Political event

Alain leads a revolt against Curtis’ tyranny and usurpation.

Also known as the revolt of the true heirs, because Alain was the descendent of the kings of Norland rebelling against Curtis of Wessex. He has some success, as Curtis is a harsh ruler who had kept the country at war for ages, and continues to tax like the Dickens, to build himself palaces and memorials. Alain’s step-sons go north - Sudrein invades. Ernest leads the war effort.   Ends with Alain's death.
