«Crusade to Jerusalem. The Return of Richard the Lionheart»

Lords-men, without ecclesiastical status, may decide to go on a crusade to Jerusalem to reach the Holy Sepulchre.

On the way, they have the opportunity to obtain two fiefs (the Principality of Taranto and the Kingdom of Sicily) and partake in raiding caravans in Palestine, but they risk being captured or even killed.

King Richard the Lionheart may return from the crusade! He will arrive with 4 knight-templars to reclaim the cities, castles, and fortresses of the treacherous lords.

«Journey to Rome»

A lord (or lady) travels to Rome to ask the Pope for financial support in fighting the invaders, a bull for official divorce permission, or the title of cardinal. 

The Pope may also grant the traveler the Holy Lance — a relic capable of uplifting the spirits of troops during battle and doubling their strength in combat. 

Finally, the traveler may bring marzipan from Italy, a sweet treat cherished by the queen. The one who delivers marzipan to her will receive a gift of 2 to 12 écus!

«Robin Hood»

The noble outlaw Robin Hood (also known as Good Robin and Robin of the Woods) is a dispossessed nobleman. Together with his «Merry Men» — Little John, Brother Tuck, Much, Allan-a-Dale, Will Scarlet, David of Doncaster (and they are all fine archers!) — he robs the rich and returns the collected taxes to the people.

Robin Hood (represented by the disaster card) — is a real calamity for the other lords of the kingdom, who will try by all means to eliminate him. The more titled these characters are, the more determined Robin and his companions become, and thus, they gain strength in battle points (BP). They always attack first and from ambush. Hunger, taxes, and uprisings supply him with new allies.

«Templars»

The Order of the Templars — a spiritual-knightly order that emerged in the Christian chivalry of the Middle Ages, whose members were called «Templars» (literally — «temple knights»). Its mission was to protect pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem. For this, the order created a network of commandery monasteries through donations across Western Catholic Europe, which were granted numerous privileges, including tax exemption. The order actively participated in battles during the Crusades.

Joining the Templars will allow your family to enjoy the order's patronage and increase your income. One of your lords, who becomes a Templar, loses the ability to marry or hold a feudal title, as well as engage in assassination contracts and attack Christians. Instead, he can establish a commandery and receives 1 knight-templar. Additionally, he can arrange a secret meeting with another player who also owns a templar lord, without spending a carrier pigeon.

«Sea Fortune»

Upon going to sea, you can start boarding and plundering French ships, and then, having become wealthy, sail to your destination port. But you also risk encountering a storm that may take you to unknown shores, suffer shipwreck, and lose some of your passengers. 

Moreover, a mutiny may break out on board, and then you will become a prisoner and be forced to pay a ransom… Will the sea fortune smile upon you?

«Duel with Ivanhoe»

This story begins in 1194. Wilfred Ivanhoe secretly returns home from the crusade and participates in a tournament at Ashby under the name of the Knight, Dispossessed of Inheritance. In the tournament, he encounters Brian de Bois-Guilbert, a Norman and Knight of the Temple, who was previously granted the title of Lord Ivanhoe.

In «Fiefs of England» Ivanhoe challenges lords to legendary knightly duels. By fighting him, you may gain tokens of ½ BP if you win, but the defeated lords face death!
