Angevin Empire

Anarchy in the Empire!

Philip VII’s army attempts to enter Angers city centre, but is blocked by Jean III’s heavily armed troops. A standoff ensues before Philip backs away. This is not defeat however, as Philip’s army issue an ultimatum an hour later at 9am, for Jean to renounce is claim on the capital, or face an assault on the city by midday.

Jean III, acting on the advice of senior nobles, most prominently the Duke of Orleans, orders a preemptive strike on Philip’s army, and so the Force Aérienne Royale is scrambled. The bombing attack forces Philip and his army to withdraw south of the city, but the Duke of Aquitaine wastes no time in amassing forces.

Rapidly, the situation in Angevin has become a scramble for the loyalty of the various dukes and earls who possess estates and more importantly troops. Many earls decide, hey, no dice, and side with who they view is the likely winner, Philip VII. Others feel threatened by Philip’s militarism and despotism, and so join the fast-growing pool of nobles throwing themselves behind Jean III.
