The imperial diet

Chapter 3: The third crusade

Notes:

This is the most ooc piece of work I have ever written. But it does have some answers and a bit of comedy to it. It is not that polished.

et voilá

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Prus *hold up baby Teutonic while Swabia panics in the background*: Hey everyone look I have a—-*sees the sack of constantinople* what the hell..?

 

* HRE is too busy fighting his currently ablaze uncle—the byzantine empire—to care * 

 

“Okay, well, I am going to go deck out the newest grandson of Rome in chainmail and give him a weapon!” Prus announces, “How does that sound, Swabia?”

 

Swabia: “can we just get out of here?! I want to go back to the Holy See—and Bavaria!"

 

Prus * attempting to approach his younger brother Byzantine * : “one moment, I must—-”

 

Royaume d’France barging through: “MAKE WAY! GRANDPA AND GRANDSON BONDING TIME IS COMMENCING! C’MON ANGEVIN!” 

 

Agevin: “But—wait—about—Saxony—”

 

Royaume d’France “Don’t care! It’s just us two, grandson, and the rest of the world! Think of the adventures we could have together, grandson!” 

 

Duche de Normandie:”YKNOW HE’S NOT YOUR GRANDKID, RIGHT?!” 

 

*Prus, getting increasingly annoyed* “Sawbia. We are going to the Holy See and we are going to raise our son there until I stab myself or until San Marino takes my soul.”

 

Notes:

A rare appearance of the Anglo-French side of the family! And a young saxony mention before he betrayed HRE (Henry the Lion vs Fredrick Barbarossa)

Notes:

So my main influences for the…vibe of it all was the tv show Maria Theresa (there are clips online, and I believe the clothing is mostly historically accurate but no one has judged it yet) as well as the tourney scene in season one of HOTD.
