HISTORIA DE RELIGIOSI ANSELMINI

 

 Started by the hermit, Saint Anselm the Lesser, the town grew around the lonely hermit as shepherds and farmers seeked his holy wisdom, as well as defend themselves from country bandits in the hillock where the saint seeked refuge. Saint Anselm soon found himself with various disciples whom he took under his wing and thus made his own monastic rule, mixing heavy asceticism with a semi-cloistered lifestyle, with the Saint’s motto being: “Urbis Manemus, in Coelo Speramus”, In the City we dwell, in Heaven we hope. This mixture of asceticism with urbanism led to, in the 1000s, after the town of San Anselmo had been raided by various roaming bandit groups, the town folks throwing off the yoke of the Signoria and choosing the Abbot as the local lord. 

 Dom Idelfonse, 5th Abbot of the Order of Saint Anselm, became the Lord San Anselmo and the surrounding pastoral fields. Using the Monastery’s defenses and by contracting mercenaries the Monastery proved a worthy defender of the local people. The Anselmites’ influence quickly spread across the region previously devoid of any strong central authority, with the local mannorial and pastoral lords accepting the monastic rule.

 

 During the Rupertian War of Unification, in the 1100s, the Anselmites supported the cause of the Prince, sending some meagre troops for the war effort as well as sending some monetary aid. Being one of the few eastern lords to support Rupert, the now King gave some parcels of land to the otherwise impoverished holdings of the Abbot, as well as legally recognising the Anselmites as lords of the local lands, elevating the Abbey into a Princely-Abbey.

 

 This new growth of land, however, meant that new lords were now under the abbot. Being displeased with this arrangement, in 1197, the northern nobility raised their hosts, fighting a skirmish with the Abbot’s militia near Guilianno’s Well. The battle was inconclusive but with both faction’s financial situation in peril they agreed to sign an agreement, the Abbot would preside over a new Signoria which would vote on various monetary matters. This Signoria was made up of the petty mannorial nobility and the Bonshommes, rich peasants and merchants given access to the Signoria by the Abbot.

 

  The Order of Saint Anselm the Lesser is not in particularly good relations with the Klangenfurtian church hierarchs, Saint Anselm’s Rule did not sit well with some past Archbishops, who sought to bring the abbey under their control as well as to bring the order’s Regula more in line with Dominican and Benedictine standards. The Anselmites fought against this, even recurring to foreign Bishops to confer holy orders and to tonsure future monks.

CIVITAS SAN ANSELMINIENSIS

 

THE FORTIFIED MONASTERY TOWN OF SAINT ANSELM

 

 San Anselmo is a small town of set around the monastery that bears the same name as the town. Began by the hermit, Saint Anselm the Lesser, the town quickly grew as the hillock was defensible against the country bandits. As more and more people came into the hillock and surrounding plains. As the city grew it began holding various leatherworkers, a few smiths, some taverns and a couple of parish churches. 

 

 The real economic boon of the town, however, is the annual pilgrimage in June, where pilgrims come from many parts of Klagenfurt in order to pray near the relics of Saint Anselm. Every June thousands of pilgrims come and go, leaving plenty of coin as they leave donations to the monastery, they buy food, and sometimes, as they buy women.

 

 Other than the businesses associated with the pilgrimages, San Anselmo boasts of a thriving leatherworking industry, as every year at the start of Autumn, the various cattle ranchers, be they freemen or serfs of various noble families, bringing their cattle to San Anselmo to be slaughtered. As the meat is cured, salted and traded away, the leather stays, being cured, tanned and made into various products. 

 

 Alongside all the economic factors San Anselmo is the political and religious center of the region, being where the Palazzo de Signoria is located and where the Abbey of Saint Anselm the Lesser is located. This makes it the most important urban center in the region.

 

 That being said, San Anselmo is still one of the smallest urban centers of Klagenfurt, with little over than 10.000 inhabitants, being the poorest also. The remaining 80.000 are spread across the Prince-Abbacy, with 5.000 living inside the walled port of San’Angelo in the south.

THE ARCHBISHOPRIC OF KLAGENFURT

 

In 1216, one of the final acts of Pope Innocent III was to authorise the Dominican Order. This was to have vast and unintended consequences for Klagenfurt, which was considered to be one of the mostly bad run and corrupt Archdioceses in Christendom. Whilst the pews grew gradually empty, in heart if not physically, the Archbishop and the great monastics grew fat and rich, barely, if at all, living by their various rules. Learning and literacy were rarely seen in the country, with some key clergymen, it is said, not having enough Latin learning to read the Vulgate Bible. There was even a scandal of sodomy among a priory of monks, who were de-frocked and flogged for their iniquity by the new...Pro-Domincan Archbishop in 1256.

 

Archbishop Dominic Donnaruma,  an eccentric and brilliant Italian accounted by many as a Saint, invited the Dominicans over in large numbers. Ungiven to compromise, by fervent and truthful investigation he purged the Archdiocese of corruption, and filled the pews once more. Devotion to the most Holy Rosary exploded. In 1277, the Pope even approved a new Dominican-run university which has since gained a reputation alike to Oxford or Paris. This was a religious revival on a national scale, and it was one man and his favour for a new religious Order that had made it so.

 

About a century later, a new Dominic confronts a different problem. The new Archbishop of the same name as his predecessor knows that the learning of the priests, monks and nuns of the country is very great indeed. Reams of brilliant scholastic treatises flood the shelves, whilst bold new ideas and debates take place at the University of St. Dominic. But popular devotion has grown stagnant. Corruption and hypocrasy once again slowly grips the Church. And now the peace is threatened by an uncertain succession. Dominic knows he must act with a like courage to his namesake. A Klagfurtian at heart, and a choleric not given to compromise, Dominic is driven toward the preservation of peace, the flourishing of learning, and the revival of piety.

Klagenfurt is coming back!

This time, it is better than ever.

Kingdom of Portugal

After a year of study and debate, it is clear that the Oportonites are in the right, and it is declared that their doctrine is to be adopted for the Marinha. British-style logistics are to be adopted, and ship classifications and specifications are to mimic the British methods. [Mod] The Marinharia Moderna is requested to include a chapter explaining the details of the split in the Marinha, and the modernisation of naval doctrine and logistics. [Mod]

An additional 5 000 infantry men are to be hired for the army, and materiel to outfit them are to be purchased along with one dozen field guns. In addition to the infantry, a regiment of engineers is to be formed of the talent of the universities and military. [Mod]

Two more expeditions and settler columns are rallied, headed for the uninhabited Mascarenes and Seychelles. As the islands are farther than Cabo Verde, extra supplies and materiel are to be provided for both travel and settlement. [Mod]

[Mod Queen’s Pregnancy]

Kingdom of Portugal

In order to settle the recent divides in the Marinha, King Pedro II Pacifico has ordered Admiral Luís Inocêncio de Castro to determine the optimal way for a navy to be run. The heads of the Marinha are to investigate the navies of Europe with especial focus on the earlier Portuguese navy as well as the British, French, Spanish, and Venetian navies. Comparisons between the Lisbonites and Oportonites are to be made with the existing navies, aiming to reduce inconsistencies and impractical measure in creating a Portuguese naval doctrine. Additionally, a report on naval doctrine is to be written as a manual for the admiralty of Portugal. [Mod+Responses]

Colonists are rallied to join an expedition to the Cape Verde Peninsula and the minor islands along the coast along-side a contingent of 1 000 garrison men. The first order of action is to prepare adequate fortifications for settlement and construct a harbour for basing of the ships. Half-way through the year, a second group of colonists are to join the colony along with extra supplies of materiel, textiles, dried foods, and seeds. [Mod]

Since the prior year’s kick-starts to the manufactories have proven successful, further generous investments are provided to crockers, magnaneries, and textile manufactories. Off-season subsidies are offered in exchange for partial ownership from 20-50% of the manufactories by the crown. [Mod]

The Queen’s pregnancy [Mod]

Kingdom of Portugal

The recent success of the manufactories in Portugal has proven to be an effective way to revive the local economy, and these measures are to be taken further. Minor subsidies are provided to domestic textile manufactories and porcelain crockers, creators of some of the finest arts. Additionally, the Magnaneries of Portugal are to recieve some 200 000 Mulberry trees. To further aid the local industry, an increased tax is placed on the import of textiles, silks, and porcelain. [Mod]

During the Summer months, King Pedro II Pacifico exchange many a letter with members of the French aristocracy, visiting Normandy and the Île-de-France to meet with King Louis XIV and François Marie, a member of the house Lorraine. A marriage to take place in Autumn of this year between the King incumbent and François Marie’s daughter, Béatrice Hiéronyme with the support of the Sun King. [Mod?]

With the arrival of the British admiralty, logistic and strategic planning is underway, headed by Admiral Luís Inocêncio de Castro. Measuring the capacity of the Portuguese shipyards and harbours, sailors and captains, and supplies for the navy. Planning and training in naval warfare for the inexperienced Portuguese admiralty is also to take place. [Mod] The navy is not to reap all of the benefits of Anglo-Portuguese training. The arrival of John Churchill was well-received, and teaching the art of war with the best army in Europe only goes so far. One Matias de Albequerque, nicknamed “Hero of two Kingdoms” departs for England to meet with the commanders of the British army. His experience from the war and leadership in the famous Battle of Lisbon ought to bring with him quite the renown. [Mod]

Kingdom of Portugal

Following the death of King Alfonso VI in late 1683, the appointed heir and regent, Pedro (II) ‘Pacifico’ Braganza ascended to the throne. The now-Queen Maria Francisca would also pass away at the end of 1683, leaving their daughter Isabel Luísa as the heir to the throne of Portugal.

Marinha Portuguesa

During the War of Restoration, most warships evacuated the country to join the Spanish cause. The now-empty ports are inadequate for the protection of the state and its trade. In order to solve this problem, King Pedro II has called the Marinha to Lisbon to plan its expansion and restructuring. Preparations are made to visit captains, merchants, and shipwrights in order to get a better idea of what the situation is across the country, as well as to adjust production in accordance to the capabilities. Some 10 Frigates and 15 Galleons are planned for commission in accordance with the Marinha’s needs and capacity. (Mod)

Domestic Manufactories

The loss of the colonies has left a hole in goods being delivered to Portugal. In order to solve this, minor shipping privileges are given to domestic producers of goods such as wine, porcelain, jewellery, processed woods, and especially textiles. Textile supplies would be used in the reconstruction of the navy and outfitting of the military. (Mod)

Anglo-Portuguese Treaty (1684)

The ratification of a military alliance between the two kingdoms assuring friendship, co-operation, and defencive alliance was signed by the incumbent kings.

Kingdom of Portugal

After the long war for independence and the loss of their overseas land, King Alfonso VI Braganza had become a hero in the country. Though he was celebrated for a period after the war, his sickly nature and monotony towards ruling the country reduced him to little more than a mask worn by his brother and heir, Pedro Braganza. Pedro is a determined man who always keeps and open mind and will accept the advice of his advisors and visitors to the court.

See the document for further information and maps.

For the first time in 1380, the King of Klagenfurt has left not only a sole heir, but one that is not of age to rule the kingdom. As the Kingdom follows a strict rule of male inheritance, the late King Antonio III Di Scema has left his court to rule the realm. The Court, consisting of the nine Dukes of the realm, rule along with the Queen-regent in the crown’s name until 5 year-old Thomas II Di Scema will be fit to rule at the age of sixteen.

The Kingdom of Klagenfurt was founded in 1157 by Prince Rupert of Styria when he invaded the region with his legendary Knights of 200, though Klagenfurt’s historians debate whether this number is accurate. Prince Rupert founded the city of Klagenfurt, declaring it the capital of his realm. Since then, the kingdom has grown two-fold in the east under the kings Rupert II who conquered past the River Selle, and Antonio I who conquered the Oryol Forest. While the kings were conquering the eastern lands, the Styrian clergy had moved in and erected a grand citadel, as is religious tradition, declaring the land subject to God.

During the early days of the Kingdom, aristocrats and generals from Styria were invited to rule the land. The impact on the local culture was significant in the fertile west with many adopting Styrian customs, and the Styrian language becoming that of the aristocracy. However in the eastern highlands the influence was far lesser as local cultures had been more detached from those of the west. In the recent years, the influence has grown, and all nobles across Klagenfurt have adopted Styrian culture.

Only four years ago, in 1376 did the Great Plague ravage the country, still lingering in the fringes of the western lands. Over 800 000 people died from the outbreak, mostly in the eastern lands. Many formerly sprawling urban centres reduced to mere villages after their population was indiscriminately slaughtered by diseases. Thousands of aristocrats died, leaving their land unowned, and serfs free to flee for the cities. The former King Antonio III Di Scema was amongst those who died after only a week since falling ill along with his five brothers, leaving only his wife and son to his name.
