Well. My mother certainly lived long enough. I inherited the throne at 50! So immediately I set out to consolidate our hold over the island. And of course, as soon as I did, the world seemed to fall apart. Is this how it was for mother? I knew about the wars in the south of course. I was in Viscaya until my husband was killed in battle. Dear Alffonso.... I'm sorry, what was I saying? Yes. I knew about the wars. but since I wasn't ruling, I never received regular reports on them. Things are horrible! France is fighting both the Kingdom of Italy, AND the Empire of Hispania. They're holding their own, but only just. My brother-in-law is doing his best, but I fear he won't be able to fight on both fronts for much longer. I'm debating sending troops, but I have my own worries at home. The Vikings are consolidating their power too, and their raiders never stop coming.
