Seize the Crown
A scenario for Civilization II: Fantastic Worlds by John Ellis.
Description
Autumn A.D. 1139. The Empress Matilda lands in Arundel on the south coast to press her claim for the throne of England. Although she is the only surviving child of Henry I, the last undisputed King of England, her cousin Stephen has seized the crown - supported, it must be said, by the majority of the great Barons of the land, who do not wish to bow the knee to a woman.
Starting in 1139, you take one of the four great baronies of England. Play as Humphrey de Bohun, Richard Neville, Hugh Bigod or Robert de Lacy, as you start your career as the 15-year-old head of a family that came to England with the Conqueror - and that may still have landholdings in Normandy.
