Saints Sleep RPG Wikia



Welcome to the Saints Sleep RPG Wikia
This wiki is the Saints Sleep community's encyclopedia in concordance for our unique, ever-growing alternative historical timeline and is our guidebook for participating in and contributing to the Saints Sleep forum based RPG.

Saints Sleep is set in an alternative 12th century just after the events of the anarchy. We invite players to create characters and live out aspects of medieval life in a realistic way. In general, everything that happens in the Saints Sleep RPG is canon, we disregard real life events after the date of 1154 and instead are forging our own timeline. We encourage you to contribute to this wiki and add your characters and events. Also feel free to fix any typos you find and update outdated pages. Be bold!

Plot
In 1153 England’s first civil war would finally come to a close after lasting nearly 20 years. The war was a brutal battle for the throne, on one side was King Stephen and on the other side was Empress Matilda. After many years of brutal fighting, the country was in a state of turmoil which not only would prove to completely destabilise the country but would also help to catapult land barons and Lords into making their own rules, building their own castles and governing their land as they see fit.

The anarchy came to a close when the Empress's son, Henry FitzEmpress, invaded England and built an alliance of powerful regional barons to support his claim for the throne. In the lead up to the invasion, Stephen urged his son Eustace to head to France and go into hiding. The two armies met at Wallingford where both sides would collide in a bitter battle, it was assumed by Henry II that Stephen's son Eustace had died in the battle and the result led to Stephen being captured and forced to sign his crown over to Matilda's son Henry II. Stephen died the following year in captivity after suffering a stomach disorder.

Henry II's reign would only last a mere 4 years and in that time, Eustace would set to work building himself an army of supporters and mercenaries to attempt to seize the throne for himself. In 1157 Eustace would sail his armies from France and launch a heavy attack which would be known as the Battle of Faversham. That attack would see both King Henry II and the Eustace’s forces clash together in one mighty conflict. It would be King Henry who would be captured in battle and forced to sign over the kingdom to Eustace.

This would now begin the rule of new King Eustace I, son of King Stephen and rightful heir to the throne.
