— Description of forming Duchy of Normandy |
The Duchy of Normandy is a formable of Jersey and
Guernsey located in Western Europe
.
Background[]
The following is taken from Wikipedia which is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0. You can view the article it was taken from here.
The Duchy of Normandy grew out of the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in 911 between King Charles III of West Francia and the Viking leader Rollo. The duchy was named for its inhabitants, the Normans.
From 1066 until 1204, as a result of the Norman conquest of England, the dukes of Normandy were usually also kings of England, the only exceptions being Dukes Robert Curthose (1087–1106), Geoffrey Plantagenet (1144–1150) and Henry II (1150-1152), who became king of England in 1152. In 1202, Philip II of France declared Normandy forfeit to him and seized it by force of arms in 1204. It remained disputed territory until the Treaty of Paris of 1259, when the English sovereign ceded his claim except for the Channel Islands; i.e., the Bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey, and their dependencies (including Sark). In the Kingdom of France, the duchy was occasionally set apart as an appanage to be ruled by a member of the royal family. After 1469, however, it was permanently united to the royal domain, although the title was occasionally conferred as an honorific upon junior members of the royal family. The last French duke of Normandy in this sense was Louis-Charles, duke from 1785 to 1789. The title "Duke of Normandy" continues to be used in an informal manner in the Channel Islands, to refer to the monarch of the United Kingdom. |

Geography[]
Cities[]
The Duchy of Normandy has only 7 cities while formed, the capital depends on if you started as Jersey or
Guernsey.
Borders[]
The Duchy of Normandy only borders France but is relatively close to
United Kingdom.
Strategy[]
Starting as Jersey or
Guernsey. Use your manpower pool to make troops and 50 artillery, then justify war on
Jersey/
Guernsey depending on your respective country. After you annex
Guernsey/
Jersey, you will need to take
France for the lands in Normandy. To prepare, you can try taking the Benelux Region and
Denmark so you can have a territorial advantage & some more manpower gain, with these lands you will have Square Cities, which you can use as an advantage in the war against
France.
Threats[]
United Kingdom may wish to form the
Franco-British Union or the
Angevin Empire, with both requiring
France to form.
France or
United Kingdom can easily beat
Jersey and
Guernsey.
Germany requires France for the
Frankish Empire, or they might invade just to simply expand.
Italy requires France for the
Roman Empire.
Iberian Union may expand North.
Benelux may expand South-West.
United States may invade France for a "base" in Europe
.
Russia after forming the respective formables,
Russia might expand into Europe
