Cunntas (Events)

The Cathars of York

The Cathar heresy remained a troubling issue in York. The peasants there continued to resist proper Catholic behavior. The visits of Court Chaplains to preach and teach repeatedly failed to sway the populace.

The decisive confrontation with the rebels came in June:

CKS 910.6 The army of Scotland defeated the heretics at Roxburgh.

In August Sælræd, the leader of the revolt, had his head removed in the central square in York.

But word of the revolt, and the heretical population had reached the ears of the Pope, and the Council pledged to root out the heresy.

Albany

Arnfast av Ivar, Duke of Albany, declared war on Ivar av Ivar, Duke of Munster, seeking to exert his claim on the duchy and usurp the title. The councillors of Mànas determined that the ambition of Arnfast was too great to allow him to hold two duchies. In addition, Ivar sat on the Council as Chancellor and was Regent for Mànas. Arnfast could not be allowed to so disrupt the realm, and he was ordered to give up his title of Albany. The retinues and levies of the King prepared for conflict, but Arnfast surrendered this title, breaking his strength and securing the safety of Munster.
