The Middle Ages: Beginning with the House of Hauteville

"My Norman lord, you are in Apulia." "Excellent! At least I'm a noble. I think I'm part of the Hauteville family, too? Does that mean I can meet Robert?" "My lord! We were just defeated by Giscard and we're fleeing for our lives..." In 1066, the Normans of Normandy conquered England. At the same time, at the southern end of the map, another band of Normans led by the Hauteville family was establishing a kingdom in southern Italy. But ever since you transmigrated into one of their family a week ago, things haven't gone quite as you imagined: You are now Abelard de Hauteville, eldest son of Humphrey, the former Count of Apulia. But thanks to the schemes of Robert the Fox, you have no lands of your own. And because of your historically recorded rebellion, you're already forced to wander the wilderness. An army? None. Supplies? Running low. Swordsmanship and horsemanship? Never learned them. Wait, what do you mean I have to learn the language from scratch, too? Oh, you down-and-out Norman knight, figure out how to survive the year 1066!
