Yet the authority of the Caliphs had come into question far too many times, leading to a myriad of revolts, uprisings, and civil wars. The armies of the Caliphate had made sure of that. From humble beginnings on the arid sands of Arabia, these words would rapidly spread all throughout the known world, whether by arms or otherwise.įrom the Pyrenee Mountains that divided the lands of Francia and Hispania, all across the Maghreb and Egypt, through the Levant and Mesopotamia, reaching across the Zagros Mountains into the ancient lands of Persia and beyond, Islam reigned supreme.
It had been more than two and a half centuries since that fated day that the angel Gabriel descended upon Jabal-al-Nour (the Cave of Light) to meet with the holy Prophet Muhammad and began revealing to him the Quran, the word of Allah. These Romano-Berbers would last be spoken of in the 12th century by the Geographer al-Idrisi, claiming that the city of Gafsa was still mostly populated by them, probably their last refugee as they were assimilated by Muslim Berbers and Maghrebi Arabs.Ĭhapter 0 - The Birth of the Emirate of Bari (827-867) This run would have forced me to use the character editor to create an Afri ruler since no such rulers existed at the time. They were still majority in many towns and cities across Morocco, Algeria, and Tunis, mostly along the coastline. An uprising out of North Africa by the Afri, the native Christian Romano-Berbers who still inhabited the region at the time and spoke Latin. If you were wondering what other options I considered for this run, my options were: Only to Carolingians though, as its their "birthright." If an usurper were to seize the Kingdoms he wouldn't get those claims, nor would I give them to the Carolingians. This usually prevents Carolingian bordergore and leads to an Empire forming, either Francia or Germany/HRE. I also like to give the Carolingian heirs claims to their neighbor Kingdoms if they happen to lose the claims after a few inheritances. We shall see.Īs with my previous run I won't be playing in Ironman, however I don't plan on using any cheats to improve my station, I only use the console to fix extreme border gore, usually by exchanging provinces among the guilty to have a more fun playthrough, especially because the 867 start date can be too chaotic at times. This invasion may or may not happen, as the Normans never did settle in Normandy in my run as they normally do, so without Normans in Normandy I don't see how there can be Normans in Sicily. Among these are the Hauteville Normans, which will likely strike at my Kingdom and topple me, but I hope to be strong enough by them to resist them, or at least have lands outside of the Kingdom of Sicily to flee to.

Crusades will likely be a problem, and I installed a mod called "Historic Invasions" which has, as the name suggests, implemented many historic invasions. I don't really have any set goals for this run other than establish a Kingdom and survive as long as possible. I thought it would be fun to reverse its fortunes and see a Muslim kingdom flourish out of Southern Italy.
Emir Sawdan was chained and taken to Benevento where he was executed and never again would those parts of Italy be under Muslim control. This short lived Emirate would have its fortunes ended by 871 in our timeline as a coalition of Frankish and Langobard armies rained down upon it with the assistance of Croats and the Republic of Ragusa from across the Adriatic Sea, ending with the Byzantine Empire reclaiming the lands after Emperor Louis was unable to hold it. I was unsure of where to play as I had a few good choices in mind, but ultimately settled for the Emirate of Bari. As I was unable to fullfill my goal of seeing the run through the end-date, I decided to start anew with a new run.

After I was forced to abandon my Basque/Navarra playthrough due to mods becoming incompatible following an update, I saw fit to download and save the mods locally so no such thing could occur again.
