11 July, 1073

The Doux of Nikea has called the Princely faction together and declared war to gain more power in the Empire, as we are fighting the Muslims!

With over half of the doukes revolting against the Emperor, brother fights against brother. All of my family-in-law, the Komnenos dynasty, Doukes of Armeniacon, Antioch, and Paphlagonia have rebelled. 

However Doux Theodoros has called in the Court Faction to defend the Empire. And now I am a loyalist to the Emperor. TO ARMS!
