Rise of the Normans: A 911 Start Date Mod
The Year is 911. At a major crossroads of history Europe; and beyond is springing out of the dark ages in full force. What happens in the next few decades will determine the course of the next thousand years. It’s now up to you to determine that path. Choose wisely young Lord will you Kingdom rise or fall?

In France Rollo of Normandy has just completed his conquest and sworn fealty to the king of France. Now its up to you to decide what happens next. Will his people conquer England or just become a footnote in history?
–
In England Æthelred Lord of the Mercian’s has just died. With no male heir he left his petty Kingdom to his wife and daughter of Alfred the Great, Lady Æthelflæd. Will you guide her to unify England or will her kingdom become a puppet of her brother Edward of Wessex as happened in our universe?

A year before in 910 the princes of Asturias agreed to the formation of a new Kingdom to fight against the Ummayad Emirate of Cordoba; being the Kingdom of Leon under the protection of Garcia the First. Will he take the first real steps in the Reconquista of Spain or will the Ummayad’s avenge the battle of Tours and snuff out Christendom in Iberia?
–
In Germany Ludwig the Child has just died. With no heir his Kingdom’s of Lotharingia and East Francia were split between the Karling Charles the Simple of West Francia and the first non Karling ruler of East Francia Konrad the First. Both having claims on the other, will one of them reunify Charlemagne’s Holy Roman Empire or will Christian infighting weaken both of them to extinction?
Currently pre-release. First off right now I’m looking for someone to help with some of the graphical aspects, in particular creating the picture and tab for the bookmark if your interested please join my discord in the right hand links section. That out of the way some more general info about the mod: my plan is to release the first version of the mod once I have the top lieges on the entire map worked out. Progress is going quickly and I’m almost done with Europe so I expect that I will have the first version of the mod out no later than the end of April. After that I will begin ironing out more of the story of the year 911 however my focus will be on Europe and the middle east in particular. Finally I will work on balancing and increasing historical accuracy with the addition of vassals and more ironed out characters.
Feedback is welcomed and encouraged. I’d also really appreciate it if you gave my mod a thumbs up if you enjoy it or are hopeful of its potential. Thank you!
