La Mode illustrĂ©e, no. 11, 13 mars 1881, Paris. Robe en satin uni et satin brochĂ©. Ville de Paris / BibliothĂšque Forney Â
Some illustrations of pike-and-shotte infantry and gunpowder-based, siege artillery that I have officially designed for âHohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâ or âHouse Biermann of The Margraviate of Brannenborg,â the newest of the four secular, hereditary âKurfĂŒrsten Des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheitâ or âPrince-Electors of The Empire of Mankind Proper.â Both these artworks and their associated âfaction iconographyâ were officially designed for a low-fantasy setting of my original conception with technology and material culture roughly equivalent to European History during the compounded advents of The Italian Renaissance, The Protestant Reformation, and The Discovery of America. Where formations of heavily armoured and mounted, aristocratic and noble knights in either suits of full plate armour or heavy coats of chainmail fight alongside professional armies of pikemen and matchlock musketeers. Where medieval-style stone castles are gradually being outsourced in favour of both lavish country estates and devoted military fortifications, or âbastions,â due to the technological advancements being made in gunpowder-based, siege artillery. And Where fledgling nation-states in the form of both kingdoms and empires look beyond the great oceans and the frontiers of âThe Known Worldâ in search of exotic riches and virgin lands. In context to the canon lore of my âhomebrewâ medieval fantasy world, âHohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâ or âHouse Biermann of The Margraviate of Brannenborgâ is the newest of the four secular, hereditary âPrince-Electorsâ or âKurfĂŒrstenâ within The Imperial College of âDas Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheitâ or âThe Empire of Mankind Secundus.â âDie Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâ or âThe Margraviate of Brannenborgâ is loosely inspired by âThe Mark Brandenburgâ or âThe Electorate of Brandenburgâ within âThe Holy Roman Empireâ during the Medieval and the Early Modern periods of European history. âHohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâ is at once the newest, and the most reluctant, constituent member state of, and territorial addition to The Empire of Mankind Proper, or âDas Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheit.â As well as the newest secular, hereditary âelectoral principalityâ or âKurfĂŒrstentumâ within The Empire of Mankind since the official appointment of Markgraf Friedrich II Von Biermann to The Imperial College during The Electoral Reforms of Emperor Vespasian VII as the 96th Emperor-Elect of The Empire of Mankind Secundus. Over 150 years prior to the contemporary events of my medieval fantasy setting, the lands of âHohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâ was originally part of âThe Former Kingdom of The Midlandsâ under âThe Late House Bartholemewâ before the untimely extinction of the legitimate, male bloodline of their dynastic household and the subsequent collapse of their hereditary state. As the territorial part of The Former Kingdom of The Midlands most heavily afflicted by the wholesale peasant uprisings agitated by the religious indoctrination and the systematic, mass conversion of the local populace by the hut shamans hailing from âErdĂžk,â or âThe Great Forestâ directly east of The Empire of Mankind Proper. The illegitimate son and the heir presumptive to the last King of The Midlands born to House Bartholemew originally pawned, and then permanently transferred the future lands of âDie Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâ to âThe Imperial Household,â the direct descendants of Prinz Heinrich von Nymphenburg as The First Crowned Imperator of The Empire of Mankind Secundus, as well as the hereditary, dynastic, âgreat houseâ of âImperial Princepsâ or âImperial Magnatesâ for âDer Reichstaatâ or âThe Imperial Demesne,â in order to fund his equally desperate and futile war effort against the recalcitrant great houses of feudal aristocracy and nobility in The Former Kingdom of The Midlands who had collectively and universally rejected his lawful and legitimate succession to The Former Kingdom of The Midlands due to his birth as an illegitimate issue to the last King of The Midlands from The Late House Bartholemew. Due to itâs polar, geographic distance and territorial dislocation from âDer Reichstaatâ or âThe Imperial Demesneâ as the hereditary, dynastic lands of âThe Imperial Householdâ or âDer Kaiserliche Haushalt,â as well as itâs constant affliction by the wholesale peasant uprisings agitated by both the religious indoctrination and the systematic, mass conversion efforts of the local populace by the hut shamans indigenous to âErdĂžkâ or âThe Great Forest.â Friedrich Biermann, one of the most seasoned, battle-hardened generals within âThe Imperial Armyâ mostly levied, and later conscripted from the hereditary, dynastic lands of âThe Imperial Householdâ seated at âNymphenburg.â As well as one of the few commoners within the recorded history of The Imperial Army to be promoted to an office of military command by sheer virtue of merit, was officially awarded hereditary, dynastic enfeoffment over âThe Southern Imperial Marchâ or âDie Sudetenmarkâ for his years of meritorious service as a domestic, household general in service to The Imperial Army. As the local populace of The Southern Imperial March or âDie Sudetenmarkâ were longtime apostates from The Conservative Church of The New Gods who would never acknowledge the newly enfeoffed and anointed âFriedrich Von Biermannâ as their liege lord and princeps. Friedrich Von Biermann as âDer Markgraf Der Sudetenmarkâ officially petitioned to Archpatriarch Cassadorian XIV seated at The Holy Sept of Romulus to prosecute an âerrantry warâ or a âgreat crusadeâ against the religious apostates of Die Sudetenmark, who were largely religiously subscribed to the druidic, cult worship of âErdĂžkâ or âThe Great Forest.â Manfred Von Lichtenstein, Bishop-Prince of Garyalburg, one of the three ecclesiastical, invested, âprince-electorsâ or âKurfĂŒrstenâ of The Empire of Mankind Proper and Archpatrichal Legate to Cassadorian XIV for this new âAlbic Crusade,â officially preached and prosecuted âThe Albic Crusadeâ at a holy synod of Bishop-Princes and Grand Abbots at Die UniversitĂ€t Wörtzburch in Das Herzogtum Solingen, one of the leading centres of church-sanctioned, academic research on both The Canon Theology of The New Gods, as well as Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Civil Law and Jurisprudence north of The Olympian Mountain Valley. In addition to the retinues of crusading, aristocratic and noble knights and the peasant levies hailing from the multitude, or the plethora of minor âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ states as well as the constituent states of âThe Borderlands Confederacyâ directly south of âDer Reichstaatâ or âNymphenburg.â This âAlbic Crusadeâ was generally only heeded by a minority of the baronial magnates from Das Herzogtum Solingen as the native, electoral principality of Markgraf Friedrich Von Biermannâs birth and origin before his formal enlistment into The Imperial Army based in âDer Reichstaatâ or âNymphenburg,â as well as their domestic, household retinues of aristocratic, noble knights and their feudal levies of men-at-arms. Knowing that the odds were still highly unfavourable towards Friedrich Von Biermann as the titular âMarkgraf Der Sudetenmarkâ leading at the forefront of The Albic Crusade, despite itâs formal and official preaching and prosecution by Manfred Von Lichtenstein at The Holy Synod of Die UniversitĂ€t Wörtzburch as Bishop-Prince of Garyalburg and Archpatriarchal Legate to Cassadorian XIV. Maximillian IV as the 94th Emperor-Elect of The Empire of Mankind Secundus and the hereditary, dynastic, âImperial Princepsâ or âImperial Magnateâ for âDer Reichstaatâ or âThe Imperial Demesneâ offered to permanently transfer to Friedrich Von Biermann fulltime command over a mighty host of professional, Imperial Army men-at-arms regiments and knightly retinues in return for acceding to an official âImperial Act of Incorporation.â Where Friedrich Von Biermann and all his hereditary, dynastic successors as âDie Margrafen Der Sudetenmarkâ would both acknowledge the feudal, hereditary, âImperial Princepsâ or âImperial Magnateâ of âDer Reichstaatâ or âThe Imperial Demesneâ and the dynastic patriarch of The Imperial Household as their liege lords and suzerains for âDie Sudetenmark,â unconditional to their formal election as the preferential candidates for the title of Emperor-Elect of Mankind. As well as subsequently incorporating Hohenbiermannâs hereditary lands of Die Sudetenmark as the newest, and perhaps most reluctant, constituent member state of, and territorial addition to The Empire of Mankind Proper. Bolstered with permanent, fulltime command over a mighty host of professional, Imperial Army men-at-arms regiments and knightly retinues hailing from âDer Reichstaatâ or âThe Imperial Demesneâ in joint partnership with Bishop-Prince Manfred Von Lichtenstein as âArchpatriarchal Legate,â or the pontifical representative to the person of Cassadorian XIV as âThe 269th Bishop of Romulusâ and âThe Head of The Conservative Church of The New Godsâ for this âAlbic Crusadeâ formally preached and prosecuted against the apostate, Albic tribes religiously subscribed to the druidic, cult worship of âErdĂžk.â The Albic Crusade had concluded in overwhelming triumph for both Markgraf Friedrich Von Biermann and the crusaders with the final conquest of the greatest ErdĂžki cultist stronghold of âBrenna.â With the stunning and the official conclusion of The Albic Crusade at The Siege of Brenna, The castletown of Brenna as the final and greatest site of ErdĂžki cultist resistance was formally consecrated by Bishop-Prince Manfred von Lichtenstein as The Archbishopric of Brannenborg-An-Der-Havel. Where Manfred Von Lichtenstein was formally invested, with Archpatriarch Cassadorian XIVâs explicit blessing, the awesome and prestigious ecclesiastical office of Bishop-Patriarch of Brannenborg in order to facilitate the systematic, mass conversion of the apostate, Albic tribes autochthonous to Die Sudetenmark back into the fold of The Conservative Church of The New Gods officially seated in The Holy Sept of Romulus as the civilizational kernel, historic capital, and titular namesake of both The Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Republic and âThe Empire of Mankind Primus.â Friedrich Von Biermann as the first and only âMarkgraf der Sudetenmarkâ would thus subsequently rule from the newly consecrated Archbishopric of Brannenborg-An-Der-Havel, or the former ErdĂžki castletown of âBrenna,â as his official seat of power. formally restyling himself as âDer erster und herrshend Markgraf von Brannenborg und Der GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenbiermann.â With the next two and a half decades spent as âDer erster und herrschend Markgraf von Brannenborg und Der GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenbiermann,â Friedrich I Von Biermann would award hereditary, dynastic enfeoffment to the most arable lands, titles, and estates that had not been previously claimed as the official property of The Conservative Church of The New Gods first and foremost to the conquering, crusading knights directly involved in The Albic Crusade, and secondly to the regimental colonels of the former Imperial Army men-at-arms regiments who had distinguished themselves with meritorious service, valour, and skill at arms. This new class of landed, hereditary, feudal aristocracy and nobility, or âjunkers,â would come to âcharacterize,â or otherwise âengenderâ the entirety of the reign of Markgraf Friedrich I Von Biermann with a significant degree of military fortification in the form of stone castles and city walls in order to protect both themselves and their loyal subjects against the outrage and the predations of the apostate, Albic tribes, who had both stubbornly resisted, as well as deeply resented their forced, mass conversion back into the fold of The Conservative Church of The New Gods. These âgreat housesâ of âjunkerâ princeps and magnates, paying feudal homage to âHohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborg,â would collectively facilitate the gradual and effective resettlement of skilled, moneyed, and educated settlers and immigrants hailing from the âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ cultural and linguistic hemisphere of The Empire of Mankind Secundus. Most notably into the newly established castles and fortified cities established directly by Friedrich I Von Biermann as Der erster und herrschend Markgraf von Brannenborg und Der GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenbiermann, as well as any castles and fortified cities constructed under the princely, âgreat housesâ of âjunkerâ aristocracy and nobility paying feudal homage to Hohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborg. The culturally and ethnically âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ settlers and immigrants settling within these newly established castles and fortified cities, as well as the most lucrative and arable rural estates of attached countryside, would form base of commercial, industrial, cultural, and scholastic life in the new âMarkgrafschaft Brannenborgâ in the form of the urban âburghersâ or bourgeoisie, merchants, artisans, and professionals, as well as the rural âkollmersâ or country gentlemen. The gradual and effective resettlement of culturally and ethnically âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ settlers and immigrants into the newly established castles and fortified cities of Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg and the rural estates of their attached countryside, as well as the systematic, mass conversion efforts that necessitated the practicality of the thorough cultural assimilation of the autochthonous, apostate, Albic tribes by a culturally and ethnically âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ Conservative clergy with their traditional monopolies over knowledge, learning, and education in general, would characterize âThe Sudsiedlungâ in Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg as the last, and undoubtably the most reluctant, constituent member state and territorial addition to be officially incorporated into The Empire of Mankind Secundus. âDie Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâ alongside the neighboring âKönigreich Middenlandâ based uniquely beyond the southernmost frontiers of The Empire of Mankind Secundus well over a century after the stunning and final conclusion of The Albic Crusade at The Siege of Brenna, would collectively form âDie Sudkreuzritterstaaten,â âDie Teutogenstaaten,â or âDie Sudentscheidenstaaten.â Essentially a âTeutogenâ or a âSouthern Austereâ cultural and linguistic bloc born of the complimentary events of âThe Southern Crusadesâ and âThe Sudsiedlung.â âThe Southern Crusades being the religious wars and the territorial conquests waged against the apostate, Albic tribes religiously subscribed to the druidic, cult worship or âErdĂžk,â âThe Great Forest,â or âThe Great Bastionâ geographically situated directly beyond the Eastern frontiers of âThe Empire of Mankind Secundus.â âThe Sudsiedlung,â by contrast, refers the gradual and effective mass migration and resettlement of culturally and ethnically âAustereâ or the âNorthern Imperialâ settlers and immigrants from The Empire of Mankind Secundus alongside the systematic, mass conversion of the indigenous, apostate, Albic tribes religiously subscribed to the druidic, cult worship of âErdĂžkâ that necessitated the practical realities of their thorough cultural assimilation into the âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ culture and language of their feudal and ecclesiastical lords and masters. As implied by both itâs historic and itâs present strategic value as the last, and undoubtably the most reluctant, constituent member state of, and territorial addition to The Empire of Mankind Secundus through Emperor Maximillian IVâs âImperial Act of Incorporationâ officially brokered with Markgraf Friedrich I Von Biermann in return for his military contributions in manpower, resources, and finances against the apostate, Albic tribes indigenous to âDie Sudetenmarkâ during The Albic Crusade. âHohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborg,â since the historic reforming of âDie Sudetenmarkâ around the church-sanctioned consecration of The Basilica of Brannenborg-An-Der-Havel over the site of the former ErdĂžki castletown of Brenna, has been deprecated by both nobles and plebeians alike throughout the entirety of The Empire of Mankind as âThe Imperial Sandbox.â Such an epithet implying the generally meagre, base economic and industrial yield and value that has come to characterize Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg ever since Markgraf Friedrich I Von Biermann had finally asserted his de jure rule over the region with The Albic Crusade and itâs subsequent and complimentary âSudsiedlung.â Long before the final collapse of The Former Kingdom of The Midlands beginning with the untimely extinction of the legitimate, male bloodline of The Late House Bartholemew. The lands of the future âMarkgrafschaft Brannenborgâ were already characterized by an overabundance of swamps, marshes, and thick, wild, impenetrable forests. What little economy, industry, material culture, and infrastructure that had previously existed within the region had largely been ecologically âreclaimedâ by the Albic tribes religiously subscribed to the druidic, cult worship of âErdĂžkâ or âThe Great Forest.â With Markgraf Friedrich I Von Biermannâs de jure assumption of power and authority over the region, any indigenous, apostate, Albic tribes who had both violently and openly resisted their systematic, mass conversion back into the fold of The Conservative Church of The New Gods by the culturally and ethnically âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ Conservative clergy had faced systematic, mass genocide at the hands of both the fledgling, yet highly competent professional army in direct service to Hohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborg, as well as the feudal, aristocratic levies of knightly retinues and men-at-arms regiments paying military service and direct homage to the princely, âgreat housesâ of âjunkerâ aristocracy and nobility. This equally stubborn and violent resistance put up by the Albic natives religiously subscribed to the druidic, cult worship of ErdĂžk would subsequently and consequently result in a significant depopulation of their number in the region by either the professional, armed forces paying direct homage and military service to Hohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborg, themselves, or the feudal, aristocratic levies of knightly retinues and men-at-arms regiments paying direct homage and military service to the princely, âgreat housesâ of âjunkerâ aristocrats and nobles in turn paying feudal homage to Hohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborg as their liege lords and Imperial Princeps. Friedrich II Von Biermann as the second Markgraf von Brannenborg born to Hohenbiermann had only and finally achieved official appointment for Hohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborg into The Imperial College as the newest of the four secular, hereditary âKurfĂŒrsten Des Zweiten Kaiserreich der Menscheitâ or âPrince-Electors of The Empire of Mankind Secundusâ as a reward for acceding to the obligatory call to arms by his unconditional feudal overlord and suzerain Vespasian VII against the official partisans of his political and military opposition for his lawful and legitimate election as the 96th Emperor-Elect of Mankind. Under the hereditary, dynastic rule of Albrecht Von Biermann as âDer herrshend Markgraf von Bannenborg,â âDer momentan Chef von Hohenbiermann,â and secular, hereditary âKurfĂŒrst des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheitâ has the fortunes of Hohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborg changed exponentially for the better. With the advent of the theological reforms to the religious establishment of, and the institutions of organized religion within The Conservative Church of The New Gods officially seated within The Holy Sept of Romulus as the civilizational kernel, historic capital, and titular namesake of both The Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Republic and âThe Empire of Mankind Primusâ formally preached and published by Karl Von Luxembourg at Die UniversitĂ€t Wörtzburch as one of the leading centers of church-sanctioned, academic research on The Canon Theology of The New Gods and Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Civil Law and Jurisprudence north of The Olympian Mountain Valley, as well as the original site of the church-sanctioned preaching and prosecution of The Albic Crusade by Bishop-Prince Manfred Von Lichtenstein at The Holy Synod of Wörtzburch. Has Albrecht Von Biermann taken the opportunity to confiscate the lands, property, and treasuries of any ecclesiastical and monastic clergy of The Conservative Church of The New Gods who had both openly resisted and protested against the formal renunciation of his spiritual, cultural, and moral ties of fealty to The Holy Sept in Romulus in order to enrich both the state coffers of âHohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborg,â as well as any aristocratic, noble, âgreat housesâ of âjunkerâ princeps and magnates in Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg personally sympathetic to the theological reforms officially preached and published by Karl Von Luxembourg. Albrecht Von Biermann as âDer herrschend Markgraf von Brannnenborg,â âDer momentan Chef von Hohenbiermann,â and secular, hereditary âKurfĂŒrst des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheitâ had formally decreed state legislation to officially renounce the old Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan rite and liturgy of The Conservative Church of The New Gods originally formalized and decreed under the religious reforms traditionally attributed to The Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Imperator of Mankind âCassadorian the Greatâ in favour of âThe Luxembourgian Reformationâ with itâs theological tenets of âSola Fideâ or âSalvation by Faith Alone,â âSola Gratiaâ or âSalvation by The Gods Alone,â and âSola Scripturaâ or âSalvation by Scripture Alone. With the essential and foundational tenets of The Luxembourgian Reformation emphasizing both the vernacular translations and the strict, universal interpretation of The Holy Canons of The New Gods by all social classes outside the ecclesiastical and the monastic clergy and the feudal aristocracy and nobility. With Albrecht Von Biermannâs legislative decree to officially convert to The âReformedâ Faith of The New Gods based on the theological reforms officially preached and published by Karl Von Luxembourg at Die UniversitĂ€t Wörtzburch on behalf of both his dynastic household and his hereditary subjects, has Albrecht Von Biermann officially become both the second hereditary, dynastic ruler in both the recorded histories and the geographic expanse of âThe Known Worldâ after Friedrich I as âDer erster und herrschend König von Middenland und Der GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbartâ based uniquely beyond the southernmost frontiers of The Empire of Mankind Proper, as well as the first hereditary, dynastic, âImperial Princepsâ or âImperial Magnateâ to formally and officially annul his spiritual, cultural, and moral ties of fealty to The Holy Sept in Romulus as the historic capital, civilizational kernel, and titular namesake of both The Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Republic and âThe Empire of Mankind Primus.â With Hohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâs spiritual ties of fealty to The Holy Sept in Romulus formally annulled, has Albrecht Von Biermann finally assumed supreme authority over matters of religion in Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg. And in the process making himself the effective and virtual âSupreme Head of The Reformed Church of The New Gods in Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg.â As a direct consequence of his formal assumption of supreme authority over matters of religion, as well as the formal renunciation of his spiritual, cultural, and moral ties of fealty to The Holy Sept in Romulus, has Albrecht Von Biermann effectively endowed himself with full control over the state investiture of new bishops and abbots for âThe Reformed Church of The New Gods in Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg.â Including state investiture over the venerable and prestigious ecclesiastical office of âBishop-Patriarch of Brannenborg-An-Der-Havelâ since itâs original establishment with the church-sanctioned consecration of The Basilica of Brannenborg-An-Der-Havel over last and greatest ErdĂžki cultist stronghold of âBrennaâ by Manfred Von Lichtenstein as itâs Seminal Bishop-Patriarch. In addition to his formal assumption of supreme authority over matters of religion in Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg, as well as his systematic confiscation of the lands, property, and treasuries of any ecclesiastical and monastic clergy of The Conservative Church of The New Gods who had both openly protested against, as well as openly refused to submit before the formal renunciation of his spiritual, cultural, and moral ties of fealty to The Holy Sept in Romulus. Albrecht Von Biermann as âDer herrschend Markgraf von Brannenborg,â âDer momentan Chef von Hohenbiermann,â and secular, hereditary âKurfĂŒrst des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheitâ has actively pursued an extraimperial personal union with âHohenrotbart Des Königreich Middenlandâ based uniquely beyond the southernmost frontiers of The Empire of Mankind Secundus. Using their common background as the earliest religious converts to The âReformedâ Faith of The New Gods based on the theological reforms of Karl Von Luxembourg to the religious establishment of, and institutions of organized religion within The Conservative Church of The New Gods officially seated within The Holy Sept of Romulus as the historic capital, civilizational kernel, and titular namesake of both The Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Republic and âThe Empire of Mankind Primus.â As well as his paternal, dynastic ties to Friedrich I as âDer erster und herrschend König von Middenland und Der GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbartâ originally established through the marriage of the younger sister of his late father and predecessor Markgraf Friedrich-Albrecht Von Biermann to âDer erster und herrschend König von Middenland und Der GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbartâ shortly after the stunning and official conclusion of The Midlands Crusade with the climactic âBattle of The Godswoodsâ as âthe pretext,â or otherwise âthe rationaleâ for a prospective personal union. Has Albrecht Von Biermann actively pursued the diplomatic agenda of merging Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg with Das Königreich Middenland into an extraimperial composite state united by their shared heritage as âDie Sudkreuzritterstaaten,â âDie Teutogenstaaten,â or âDie Sudentscheidenstaaten,â or the cultures and states born of the complimentary and subsequent events of âThe Southern Crusadesâ and âThe Sudsiedlung.â As well as their common background as the earliest religious converts to The âReformedâ Faith of The New Gods based on the theological treatises of Karl Von Luxembourg questioning both the spiritual and cultural legitimacy and moral infallibility of âThe Bishop of Romulusâ or âThe Archpatriarchâ as the legitimate, universal, and acolytic head of The Faith of The New Gods, as well as his spiritual, cultural, and moral power and authority as âThe Last of The Classical Pontiffs,â or the sole, anointed representative of The Entire Canon Pantheon of The New Gods within the known world. Within the subsequent âTreaties of Marienburg and Brannenborg-An-Der-Havelâ officially brokered between the state-sanctioned, court representatives of âHohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâ and âHohenrotbart Des Königreich Middenland,â respectively, has Albrecht Von Biermann as âDer herrschend Markgraf von Brannenborg,â âDer momentan chef von Hohenbiermann,â secular, hereditary âKurfĂŒrst des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheit,â and nephew to Friedrich I offered to establish mutual heredity between Hohenbiermann and Hohenrotbart for both Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg and Das Königreich Middenland, should either dynastic house officially grow extinct through the male bloodline. Friedrich I as âDer erster und herrschend König von Middenland,â âDer GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbart,â and paternal uncle to Albrecht Von Biermann, in direct response to his nephewâs introductory proposition, elaborated upon the opening proposition. Only agreeing to the outlined terms under the conditions that Das Königreich Middenland never be incorporated into The Empire of Mankind Proper as both a constituent, member state and a territorial addition. As Imperial law had officially ârestricted,â or otherwise âexcludedâ all constituent, member states outside âHohenluxembourg Des Königreich Schönbrunnâ and âthe hereditary stateâ and âthe dynastic houseâ of the Emperor-Elect, himself, from endowing the current patriarch of their dynastic household with royal titles. That Albrecht Von Biermann and all of his prospective successors as âDie Markgrafen von Brannenborgâ officially convert to The âReformedâ Faith of The New Gods by the time of their formal inheritance to Das Königreich Middenland from the then extinct, male bloodline of Hohenrotbart. So as to simultaneously protect and preserve the religious liberties of all subscribers to The Reformed Church of The New Gods in Das Königreich Middenland, while also encouraging both the growth and the proliferation of The Reformed Church of The New Gods in Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg. And that Albrecht Von Biermann and all of his prospective successors as âDie Markgrafen von Brannenborgâ officially serve as both regents and godfathers to Friedrich Iâs infant son Kronprinz Friedrich-Albrecht Von Rotbart in the event and the occasion of his untimely demise. As Friedrich I as Der erster und herrschend König von Middenland und Der GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbart had only and finally succeeded in producing a surviving male heir by his late 70âČs. Albrecht Von Biermann, in response to his paternal uncleâs diplomatic elaborations, both sweetened and concluded the subsequent and complimentary âTreaties of Marienburg and Brannnenborg-An-Der-Havel.â Outlining within his ultimatum the final condition that Friedrich I and all of his prospective successors as âDie Könige von Middenlandâ officially hold the title of âDer Markgraf von Brannenborgâ plurally with the title of âDer König von Middenlandâ upon inheriting Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg from the then extinct, male bloodline of Hohenbiermann. As opposed to incorporating Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg as a constituent province of Das Königreich Middenland uniquely situated within the southernmost frontiers of âDes Zweiten Kaiserreich der Menshhceit,â so as to simultaneously preserve and retain the awesome power, authority, and privilege traditionally associated with the title of secular, hereditary âKurfĂŒrst des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheitâ that had been both traditionally and synonymously tied with the hereditary, dynastic title of âDer Markgraf von Brannenborgâ since The Electoral Reforms of Vespasian VII as the 96th and official Emperor-Elect of Mankind. With this diplomatic agenda of finally merging Das Königreich Middenland and Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg into an extraimperial composite state based on their shared heritage as âDie Sudkreuzritterstaaten,â âDie Teutogenstaaten,â or âDie Sudentscheidenstaatenâ born of the subsequent and the complimentary events of âThe Southern Crusadesâ and âThe Sudsiedlung,â as well as their shared background as the earliest religious converts to the theological reforms of Karl Von Luxembourg to the religious establishment of, and institutions of organized religion within The Conservative Church of The New Gods. Albrecht Von Biermann actively pursues the dynastic ambition of acquiring hereditary, dynastic control over lands, armies, and wealth for his dynastic household that is virtually and effectively beyond the power, authority, influence, and jurisdiction of âDer Kaiserliche Haushaltâ or âThe Imperial Householdâ officially seated in âDer Reichstaatâ or âThe Imperial Demesne,â known colloquially as âNymphenburg.â While also finally breaking away from his ancestral obligations of unconditional feudal homage to The Imperial Household seated at distant Nymphenburg in return for their historic military contributions in manpower, resources, and finances officially granted to Friedrich I Von Biermann as âDer erster und herrschend Markgraf Der Sudetenmark und Der GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenbiermannâ for his church-sanctioned crusade officially prosecuted against the apostate, Albic tribes autochthonous to Die Sudetenmark that formed from the northernmost partition of The Former Kingdom of The Midlands under The Late House Bartholemew. In terms of both the hereditary, dynastic military traditions of Hohenbiermann in particular, as well as the culturally ingrained, provincial military traditions of Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg in general. Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg under the hereditary, dynastic rule of Die Markgrafen von Hohenbiermann arguably possesses the single, most competent, professional military of any constituent, member state within The Empire of Mankind Secundus. Despite itâs official status as the last, and arguably the most reluctant, constituent member state of, and territorial addition to The Empire of Mankind Proper. Linear descendants of the military traditions of the professional, Imperial Army men-at-arms regiments and knightly retinues permanently transferred to the fulltime military command and the direct supervision of Friedrich I Von Biermann in order to bolster his gradual and eventual pacification of the apostate, Albic tribes indigenous to âDie Sudetenmarkâ during, and in the wake of âThe Albic Crusade.â And steeled by many decades of quasi-perpetual warfare against the apostate, Albic tribes who had both violently resisted and openly protested against their systematic persecution and the legislative marginalization of their religious liberties in order to encourage their systematic, mass conversion back into the fold of The Conservative Church of The New Gods officially seated within The Holy Sept in Romulus, Cosmopoleis at the hands of a culturally and ethnically âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ Conservative clergy. Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg under the hereditary, dynastic rule of Die Markgrafen von Hohenbiermann possesses a highly formidable, professional, disciplined, and skilled-at-arms corps of elite pike-and-shotte infantry regiments. One whose professional quality and numeric quantity are both significantly disproportionate to the meagre, base economic and industrial yield and value of Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg. With the sudden, recalcitrant uprising of over half of the princely, âgreat housesâ of âjunkerâ aristocrats and nobles who had both openly resisted and violently protested against Albrecht Von Biermannâs legislative decree for his official conversion to The Luxembourgian Reformation on behalf of both his dynastic household and his hereditary subjects, as well as the subsequential and consequential annulment of his spiritual, cultural, and moral ties of fealty to The Holy Sept in Romulus. Most notably the formidable, provincial power and authority of the junker princeps and magnates of âHohenlictensteinâ as the hereditary, dynastic household of Bishop-Patriarch Manfred Von Lichtenstein as the church-sanctioned, âArchpatriarchal Legateâ or âPontifical Representativeâ to the person of Archpatriarch Cassadorian XIV for The Albic Crusade, as well as The Seminal and Founding Bishop-Patriarch of Brannenborg-An-Der-Havel. Has Albrecht Von Biermann officially responded to the political, religious, and military opposition for his formal assumption of supreme authority over matters of religion as âThe Supreme Head of The Reformed Church of The New Gods in Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâ by investing a significant portion of his state treasury into the latest technological developments made in the novel design of gunpowder-based, siege artillery in order to effectively nullify the formal opposition of both the recalcitrant, princely, âgreat housesâ of âjunkerâ aristocracy and nobility, as well as any burgher and kollmer enclaves openly opposed and resistant to The Luxembourgian Reformation, by reducing their respective castles and fortified cities to ash and rubble.

Armourers from WĂŒrttembergisches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 120 pose with some weaponry in need of repair. In the centre of the photograph is a souvenir French Cuirassier breastplate, on which the men have chalked âWaffenschmied 1. Btl. R.I.R. 120 Cambrai. 1915â.
Some illustrations of pike-and-shotte infantry that I have officially designed for âHohenrotbart,â the reigning, dynastic household of âDas Königreich Middenlandâ or âThe Kingdom of Middenlandâ in my medieval fantasy setting. Both this series of illustrations, as well as their associated faction iconography, were officially designed for a low-fantasy setting of my original conception with technology and material culture equivalent to the late medieval and renaissance periods of European history. Where formations of heavily armoured and mounted, aristocratic knights in either suits of full plate armour or heavy coats of chainmail fight alongside professional armies of pikemen and matchlock musketeers. Where medieval-style stone castles are gradually being outsourced in favour of both lavish, sumptuous country estates and devoted military fortifications, or âbastions,â due to the technological advancements being made in gunpowder-based, siege artillery. And where fledgling nation-states, most notably in the form of kingdoms and empires, look beyond the great oceans and the frontiers of âThe Known Worldâ in search of even greater wealth and territory.
In context to the canon lore of my low-fantasy world, âHohenrotbartâ or âHouse Rotbartâ is the newly crowned and anointed hereditary, dynastic household to âDas Königreich Middenlandâ or âThe Kingdom of Middenlandâ following the stunning conclusion of âThe Midlands Crusadeâ officially preached and prosecuted by Friedrich-Albrecht Von Rotbart as Bishop-Prince of Elchingen, one of the three ecclesiastical, invested âKurfĂŒrsten des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheitâ or âPrince-Electors of The Empire of Mankind Proper,â and Archpatriarchal Legate to Vexillarius IV for âThe Midlands Crusade.â The apointed title of âArchpatriarchal Legateâ essentially denoting the official, church-sanctioned representatives to the person of âThe Reigning Bishop of Romulusâ and âThe Current Head of The Conservative Church of The New Godsâ in either foreign affairs or in âerrantry warsâ and âcrusadesâ officially preached and prosecuted against the enemies of The Conservative Faith. The historic, church-sanctioned consecration of The Basilica of Marienburg over the site of the former âGodswoodsâ marks both the official conclusion of The Midlands Crusade and the foundation of the new âKönigreich Middenlandâ over the bulk of the remnants of âThe Former Kingdom of The Midlands.â In terms of itâs historical, cultural, and religious sources of inspiration, âDas Königreich Middenlandâ under the hereditary, dynastic rule of âHohenrotbartâ as âDie Könige von Middenlandâ draws heavy influences from medieval and renaissance Prussia under âThe Monastic State of The Teutonic Knightsâ or âDeutschordenstaat,â as well as Ducal Prussia during the 16th and 17th centuries.â With Friedrich Iâs legislative decree to officially convert to Karl Von Luxembourgâs general, sweeping, and international reformation to The Conservative Church of The New Gods on behalf of both his dynastic house and his hereditary subjects being highly analogous to the secularization of âThe Monastic State of The Teutonic Knightsâ or âDeutschordenstaatâ to The Lutheran, East Prussian Duchy during the early 16th century.
Under the hereditary, dynastic rule of Friedrich I as âDer erster und herrschend König von Middenlandâ und âDer GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbartâ or âThe Founding Head of House Rotbart,â as the kingdomâs first reigning, hereditary, monarch and dynastic household since the untimely extinction of legitimate, male bloodline of âThe Late House Bartholemewâ and the subsequent collapse of âThe Former Kingdom of The Midlandsâ over a century and a half ago. âDas Königreich Middenland,â as it has been termed since the official, church-sanctioned consecration of The Basilica of Marienburg over the site of the former âGodswoodsâ at the conclusion of âThe Midlands Crusade,â with the subsequent investiture of Friedrich-Albrecht Von Rotbart as the first âBishop-Patriarch of Marienburgâ has officially become the first culture and state in both the recorded history, and the enormity of âThe Known Worldâ to renounce The Conservative Faith of The New Gods based on the old, Classical Romulan rite and liturgy originally formalized and decreed under The Classical Romulan Imperator âCassadorian the Greatâ in favour of âThe Luxembourgian Reformsâ as officially preached and published by Karl Von Luxembourg, a learned doctor of theology based at Die UniversitĂ€t Wörtzburch as well as the leading and titular âGreat Reformerâ to The Conservative Church of The New Gods, with Friedrich Iâs legislative decree to officially convert to The Luxembourgian Reformation on behalf of both his dynastic house and his hereditary subjects.
Long before Friedrich Iâs formal coronation and anointment as âDer erster und herrschend König von Middenlandâ und âDer GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbart.â Friedrich Von Rotbart was originally a minor aristocrat and mercenary captain of a pike-and-shotte infantry company known as âDie Bande Des Falkeâ or âThe Band of The Hawkâ operating within both the âAustereâ and the âFrivolousâ cultural and linguistic hemispheres of The Empire of Mankind. With the advent of the official, church-sanctioned preaching and prosecution of âThe Midlands Crusadeâ under his more prestigious, prolific, and illustrious older brother Friedrich-Albrecht Von Rotbart as Bishop-Prince of Elchingen, one of the three ecclesiastical, invested âKurfĂŒrsten des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheitâ or âPrince-Electors of The Empire of Mankind Proper,â and Archpatriarchal Legate to Vexillarius IV for âThe Midlands Crusade.â Friedrich Von Rotbart and his âDie Bande Des Falkeâ flocked to the banner of The Midlands Crusade officially preached and prosecuted against the apostate, Albic tribes religiously subscribed to the druidic worship of âErdĂžk,â a strange, nature-worshipping faith that long predated the rise of organized worship in both The Canon Pantheons of The Old and The New Gods and remained prevalent within the confines of âThe Great Bastionâ or âThe Great Forest of ErdĂžkâ situated directly east of The Empire of Mankind. âErdĂžkâ as a unique form of religious worship had begun to spread in prominence within The Former Kingdom of The Midlands long before the untimely extinction of the legitimate, male bloodline of The Late House Bartholemew and the subsequent collapse of The Former Kingdom of The Mildands over a century and a half ago. Although both Friedrich Von Rotbart and his Bande Des Falke only fought in The Midlands Crusade as minor belligerents, despite having allegedly fought and served with such distinction so as to earn both the respect and the commendation of their fellow crusaders and the church authorities officially involved in the crusade. Friedrich Von Rotbart through his sheer hereditary ties to The Archpatriarchal Legate to Vexillarius IV for The Midlands Crusade and The First Bishop-Patriarch of Marienburg was prioritized over all other prospective candidates for the coronation and the anointment as âDer erster und herrschend König von Middenlandâ und âDer GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbart.â
In joint partnership with his older brother Friedrich-Albrecht Von Rotbart as the first Bishop-Patriarch of Marienburg over the rulership and administration of the new âKönigreich Middenland.â Friedrich I, in conjunction with the clergy of The Conservative Church of The New Gods, facilitated the systematic, mass conversion of the autochthonous âAlbicâ tribes of The Former Kingdom of The Midlands back into the fold of The Conservative Faith under the formal leadership of âThe Bishop of Romulusâ or âThe Archpatriarchâ officially seated in The Holy Sept of the old, Classical Romulan capital and titular namesake of âThe Empire of Mankind Primusâ that had once dominated the overwhelming majority of âThe Known Worldâ during the long forgotten epoch of âClassical Antiquity.â Alongside the gradual, eventual conversion, and occasional pacification through force of arms and military might, of the indigenous âAlbicâ tribes of The Former Kingdom of The Midlands. âDas Königreich Middenlandâ throughout the long, prolific, and illustrious reign of Friedrich I as âDer erster und herrschend König von Middenlandâ und âDer GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbartâ has been thoroughly and effectively resettled by colonists and settlers hailing from Friedrich Iâs native âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ cultural and linguistic hemisphere within The Empire of Mankind. Most notably into the newly established, fortified towns and cities founded either directly under the official, state administration of Der erster und herrschend König von Middenland, himself, or by the newly established baronial magnates of âJunkerâ aristocracy in direct homage to Hohenrotbart as âDie Könige von Middenland.â In addition to the thorough and effective resettlement of culturally and ethnically âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ colonists and settlers into the newly established, fortified towns and cities, as well as the most arable rural estates of their surrounding countryside. The autochthonous Albic tribes have been gradually assimilated into both the Northern Imperial culture and ethnicity through a combination of church-sponsored dowries in order to promote intermarriage between male colonists and settlers hailing from the âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ cultural and linguistic hemisphere of The Empire of Mankind with the Albic natives. As well as the proliferation of both the oral and written âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ language and culture through the religious services and church schools officially sponsored by the culturally and ethnically âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ Conservative clergy. Although having been gradually, albeit thoroughly, transformed into a culturally âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ nation-state situated uniquely without the southernmost frontiers and beyond the official jurisdiction of The Empire of Mankind.â Thanks in full to the long, prolific, and illustrious reign of Friedrich I in conjunction with the culturally and ethnically Northern Imperial Conservative clergy over the rulership, administration, and systematic, mass conversion of the Albic tribes indigenous to âDas Königreich Middenland.â Das Königreich Middenland, based uniquely without the established frontiers and beyond the official jurisdiction of The Empire of Mankind, alongside neighbouring âMarkgrafschaft Brannenborgâ as the newest, most recent, constituent member state of, and historic, territorial addition to the lands of The Empire of Mankind Proper, and one oddly and uniquely situated within the southernmost frontiers of The Empire, have come to collectively form a âTeutogenâ or âSouthern Austereâ cultural and linguistic bloc within the confines of âThe Civilized World Properâ that is uniquely characterized by both itâs shared cultural heritage as the crusader states born of the complimentary events of âThe Southern Crusadesâ and the subsequent âSudsiedlung,â as well as their common heritage as the earliest religious converts to The âReformedâ Faith of The New Gods based on the theological reforms of Karl Von Luxembourg with his scriptural emphasis on both the vernacular translation and the strict, universal interpretation of The Holy Canons of The New Gods by all social classes outside the clergy and the feudal aristocracy.
âDas Königreich Middenland,â with itâs complimentary policies of rampant, obsessive-compulsive military fortification, most notably in the form of stone castles and city walls, with the thorough, effective, state-mandated militarization of Das Königreich Middenland were both born of the equally stubborn and violent resistance put up by the indigenous Albic tribes, who had deeply resented both their systematic, mass conversion back into the fold of The Conservative Church of The New Gods as well as the systematic persecution and marginalization of their religious liberties that came synonymously with the âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ cultural and ethnic assimilation efforts that characterized both âDie Markgrafschaft Brannenborgâ since the official, hereditary, and dynastic enfeoffment of the great Imperial general Friedrich Biermann as âDer erster und herrschend Markgraf der Sudetenmarkâ und âDer GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenbiermannâ shortly after the illegitimate successor the the last Batholemew King of The Midlands originally pawned, and later permanently transferred hereditary control over the lands of the former âSudetenmarkâ to The Imperial Household based in âDer Reichstadtâ or âThe Imperial Demesne.â As well as âDas Königreich Middenlandâ since the final conclusion of âThe Midlands Crusadeâ with the church-sanctioned consecration of The Basilica of Marienburg by Bishop-Prince Friedrich-Albrecht Von Rotbart over the site of the former âGodswoods,â and the subsequent coronation and anointment of his younger brother Friedrich Von Rotbart as âFriedrich I, Der erster und herrschend König von Middenlandâ und âDer GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbart.â Das Königreich Middenland, since the official coronation and anointment of Friedrich I as Der erster und herrschend König von Middenland und Der GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbart, has been distinctly characterized by itâs complimentary policies of rampant, obsessive-compulsive military fortification, most notably in the form of medieval-style stone castles and city walls, and itâs thorough, effective, state-mandated militarization to such a degree, that it has already become the single, most prominent, military superpower within the church-prescribed confines of âThe Known World,â and perhaps beyond. Despite itâs official status as the newest, constituent member amongst the established powers within The Civilized World. Das Königreich Middenland under the hereditary, dynastic rule of Friedrich I as itâs first and reigning king has come to possess one of the single largest, most skilled, most disciplined, and most professional fighting forces throughout the breadth and the enormity of The Known World. And one whose numeric size and professional level of quality and discipline are both highly disproportionate to itâs initial and base economic and industrial yield and value. Under the personal stewardship and the direct supervision of Friedrich I as a former captain of pike-and-shotte infantry before his expressed invitation and personal involvement in The Midlands Crusade at the behest of his older brother as Archpatriarchal Legate. The professional, pike-and-shotte infantry regiments in domestic, royal, military service to Hohenrotbart as âDie Könige von Middenlandâ have come to unquestionably represent the most skilled, disciplined, and professional pike-and-shotte infantry armies south of Margrabia Mazowsza.
Although born out of his inherent distrust for the baronial magnates of âJunkerâ nobility who had recently carved out lands, estates, titles for themselves as the bulk and core of the heavily armoured and mounted, aristocratic knights who had originally fought and participated in The Midlands Crusade. The same class of Junker nobles and aristocrats who had received reluctantly, and with icy anticipation, the formal coronation and anointment of Friedrich I as their liege lord and sovereign, due to his personal background as a minor aristocrat from the âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ cultural and linguistic hemisphere of The Empire of Mankind. As well as his professional background as a mercenary captain of pike-and-shotte infantry, as opposed to aristocratic heavy cavalry as the traditionally most prestigious form of military service due to the historical precedence of the feudal, aristocratic traditions of professional chivalry. The heavily armoured and mounted, aristocratic knights compelled into domestic, royal, military service to Hohenrotbart as âDie Könige von Middenlandâ likewise parallel the professional, pike-and-shotte infantry regiments hailing from Das Königreich Middenland in terms of their unique, pseudo-monastic culture of strict, military discipline, professionalism, and skill at arms. Organized into distinct orders of elite, secular, martial fraternities known as âBruderschaftenâ or âBrotherhoods.â Each âBruderschaftâ was placed under the personal command and direct supervision of âEin GroĂmeister,â or âA Grandmaster,â who were individually appointed for life from members of Das Königreich Middenlandâs great houses of Junker nobility to serve the royal, state interests of Hohenrotbart as Die Könige von Middenland over the feudal, private interests of any single, great house of Junker aristocracy. âDie Shwartzen Rieterrenâ or âThe Black Riders,â termed for the distinct and signature colour of their armour, were elite, heavily armoured cavalrymen drawn from the second sons of Junker nobles and aristocrats in order to tie the feudal, dynastic homage of Das Königreich Middenlandâs greater and lesser houses of Junker aristocracy to the persons of Der König von Middenland and all his hereditary, dynastic successors. To further assure the loyalties of both âDie Schwartzen Rieterrenâ and their respective âGroĂmeisterâ individually charged with the military command and direct supervision of their respective âBruderschaft.â âDie Bruderschaftenâ were made completely and fully dependent on a combination of the national, state budget generated by both regular taxation of Das Königreich Middenlandâs crownlands and any tariffs officially levied and imposed on Der König von Middenlandâs charter companies and the local trade guilds, as well as tithes generated by both the religious services of, and donations to The Conservative Church of The New Gods in joint partnership with Friedrich I over the rulership, administration, and systematic, mass conversion of the autochthonous Albic tribes of Das Königreich Middenland, in order to effectively finance both their livelihoods and their upkeep costs as the national, professional, state-funded heavy cavalry army in direct service to The Kings of Middenland. Both âDie GroĂmeisterâ and all âDie Shwartzen Rieterrenâ under their respective command and direct supervision were expected to legally forfeit any landed titles, estates, and incomes in their possession, regardless of the nature of their obligatory or voluntary enrollment into their respective âBrudershaft.â While âDie GroĂmeisterâ could be immediately and unceremoniously stripped of their command and office should they show any signs of insubordination to the persons of âDer König von Middenlandâ or any of his official, state-sanctioned representatives. This unique, pseudo-monastic, military culture of strict, military discipline, professionalism, and skill at arms has come both characterize and engender the heavily armoured and mounted, aristocratic knights serving Die Könige von Middenland as âShwartzen Rieterrenâ as some of the most feared and respected professional heavy cavalry in The Known World. âDie Shwartzen Rieterrenâ as Der König von Middenlandâs domestic, royal, professional heavy cavalry army have come to collectively earn both a reputation, as well as a significant degree of notoriety for themselves, as some of the few heavy cavalrymen throughout the breadth and enormity of The Known World to truly impress and unnerve, in equal measure, the heavily armoured and mounted, aristocratic knights hailing from neighbouring âLe Royaume dâAquitaine.â Who pridefully, arrogantly, and vaingloriously boast themselves to be the single greatest, most skilled, most disciplined, and most professional heavy cavalrymen throughout the breadth and the enormity of The Known World, and perhaps beyond.
With the passing away of Bishop-Patriarch Friedrich-Albrecht Von Rotbart as The Archpatriarchal Legate to Vexillarius IV for The Midlands Crusade and the first, official Bishop-Patriarch of Marienburg. The elderly Archpatriarch Vexillarius IV as the 299th and reigning Bishop of Romulus and the current Head of The Conservative Church of The New Gods formally invested in Wolfgang Amadeus Von Holswig-Schlestien, Bishop-Prince of Griffenheim and one of the three ecclesiastical, invested âKurfĂŒrsten des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheitâ or âPrince-Electors of The Empire of Mankind Proper,â as Friedrich-Albrecht Von Rotbartâs official, church-sanctioned successor as the new Bishop-Patriarch of Marienburg. Both this new Bishop-Patriarch of Marienburg, as well as all of his clerical and lay followers, proved seemingly antithetical to both the secular, royal interests of Hohenrotbart as Die Könige von Middenland in particular, and the national, state interests of Das Königreich Middenland at large. Stating at one point that âThe Midlands Crusade was officially preached and prosecuted in the name of The Canon Pantheon of The New Gods, not in the name of the selfish and conceited interests of prospective monarchs and aristocrats. And it was by their sheer grace that The Midlands Crusade had concluded, in overwhelming triumph, for the forces of The Conservative Church.â With this new Bishop-Patriarch of Marienburg hellbent on prioritizing The Conservative Church of The New Godsâ exclusive domination over the rulership, administration, and systematic, mass conversion of the indigenous Albic tribes of Das Königreich Middenland at the expense of marginalizing the secular, royal power and authority of Die Könige von Middenland to an almost purely nominal role. Friedrich I consequently passed state legislation as âDer erster und herrschend König von Middenlandâ und âDer GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbartâ to become the first hereditary, dynastic ruler in both the recorded history, and the enormity of âThe Known Worldâ to officially convert to The âReformedâ Faith of The New Gods based on the theological reforms of Karl Von Luxembourg, a learned doctor of theology based at Die UniversitĂ€t Wörtzburch in Das Herzogtum Solingen, one of the leading centres of church-sanctioned, academic research on both The Canon Theology of The New Gods and Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Civil Law and Jurisprudence throughout the breadth and the entirety of The Civilized World, on behalf of both his dynastic house and his hereditary subjects. With Friedrich Iâs official conversion to âThe Luxembourgian Reformationâ on behalf of both Hohenrotbart and Das Königreich Middenland, Friedrich I had finally assumed supreme authority over matters of religion in his kingdom. Consequently making himself the effective and virtual âSupreme Head of The Reformed Church of The New Gods in Das Königreich Middenland.â From that point on, Friedrich I as âThe Supreme Head of The Reformed Church of The New Gods in Middenlandâ was given full control over the state investiture of new bishops and abbots within Das Königreich Middenland, including exclusive investiture over the venerable and prestigious ecclesiastical office of âBishop-Patriarch of Marienburgâ since itâs official establishment by his late older brother Friedrich-Albrecht Von Rotbart at the final conclusion of The Midlands Crusade. Friedrich I, as the hereditary, dynastic monarch of the first major culture and state in both the recorded history and the enormity of The Known World to officially convert to âThe Luxembourgian Reforms,â likewise encouraged both the spread and the growth of mass literacy in Das Königreich Middenland by proliferating the vernacular translations of The Holy Canons of The New Gods printed in the âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ language using printers, church schools, and missionaries sympathetic to Karl Von Luxembourgâs theological reforms. In addition to the proliferation of both the vernacular translations of The Holy Canons of The New Gods and other religious literature and pamphlets printed in the âAustereâ or âNorthern Imperialâ language, Friedrich I had simultaneously decreed state legislation as âDer erster und herrschend König von Middenlandâ und âDer GrĂŒndungschef von Hohenrotbart,â as well as clerical legislation as âThe Supreme Head of The Reformed Church of The New Gods in Das Königreich Middenland,â to decriminalize both the ownership and the vernacular translations of The Holy Canons of The New Gods in Das Königreich Middenland. Thus officially opening both the reading and the strict, universal interpretation of The Holy Canons of The New Gods to all social classes outside of the clergy and the feudal aristocracy.
