January, The Year of our Lord 1367
Backstory| In 1331, (Jean-Loup) Matthieu Beaulieu, King of d'Fleuves married his young daughter, (Marie-Christine) Léone, to the King of Capsland, David I Capswal. A year after the marriage and the departure of Léone to the Capslandian court, the elder son, (Joseph) Matthieu II Beaulieu, died from disease. His death left Léone as the heir to the Kingdom of d'Fleuves which at the same time meant that after Léone's death, a Capswal would gain the throne of d'Fleuves. The nobles of d'Fleuves waited to see what happens before deciding on an action. The years pass and in 1335, David II Capswal is born and it is his fortune to be the duoking of d'Flueves and Capsland. The years pass by, peacefully until 1363, when Léone finally dies and it's official that David II Capswal would rule over d'Fleuves. The nobles of d'Fleuves were assured by David II that d'Fleuves would remain independent from Capsland but they would soon discover this to be a lie. A year later David I dies and David II takes the throne of Capsland. Betrayed by David, the nobles feel helpless against the giant power of the duokingdom, they begin plotting. two years later and David II finds his death, some say it was the d'Fleuvien nobles and others say it was from natural causes, in any case. (Richard) Mathieu III Capswal, raised a devoted d'Fleuvien, inherits the duothrone. The Capslandian nobles are frustrated by the d'Fleuvien bastard and decide among themselves to not allow Richard into Capsland. Instead, the Capslandian nobles raise one of their own to the throne, one of true Capswal blood and true Capslandian culture. Richard Mathieu III is quick to understand what is happening, he establishes his very own dynastic bloodline called "Castex" and officially names himself "Mathieu III" as successor of Matthieu II Beaulieu. The Capslandians would continue to refer to Mathieu as Richard. Mathieu, raises an army in d'Fleuves and prepares to embark on ships to invade his promised land, Capsland.
