The Sage of Einar

While the normal population of the Frank empire spoke about Ludovico, the monks who had decided to fight all gathered in the cathedral of Aachen.

"We are reunited because all of us have something in common and that is that we are going to fight against a group of pagans in the name of God.

We are all monks who will take up arms to fight against the sinner in this holy war. That is why we all come together because we have the same goal.

Avenge the deaths of Parisii and punish the pagan responsible, because they were pagan, they committed the greatest atrocities.

That is why I propose to create the Knights of Paris, honoring the name of the Virgin and Our Lady Genoveva de Paris.

She will guide us in conquering the enemy. "

All the assembled monks had no complaints about the name of their group of knights because they knew that every time they would hear them.

People could remember the slaughter of the Vikings against the population of Parisii.

The monk, seeing that no one said anything against the name, smiled. "Since we decided to create the first group of holy knights, I propose to create a hierarchy.

The Master must be the leader of the knights and the representative before the church and the nobles.

As we are monks, all of us must have a council of 12 representatives elected by a majority of monks.

The advisers must choose the Grand Master, who will have power until he dies in battle or is changed by the group of advisers.

To prevent the board from being corrupted, the directors may only serve for a period of 5 years and may not be directors again.

This would be the basic organization, but each councilor should have a job within the knight order.

For example, someone will have to be in charge of raising money for our expenses, another will have to manage our money, another will have to organize the members of our group of gentlemen.

We will have to divide the tasks, but before that I think we should use one of the many crosses that there are to represent our order of knighthood.

Do any of you have any suggestions about our colors and our cross that we will wear in war. "

One of the monks raised his hand. "I propose to use the cross of Tau, the cross that the Romans used to crucify.

As for a phrase to use, I propose.

Vade Retro Paganus.

For the colors I propose that our clothes be green and our crosses be black. "

All the monks looked at the monk who made the proposal and nodded, as they thought it was a very good proposal.

The monk who was organizing everyone looked at his companions. "Does anyone have any other proposals?"

They all shook their heads, so the monk smiled. "Very well, the cross of Tau will be our symbol and our motto will be Vade Retro Paganus.

With this information, we have to start organizing our order of knights. We have to send two letters, one to the Emperor Ludovico and the other to the Holy See.

If the Holy See denies our group of knights, I am sure that Emperor Ludovico will not do it.

Well, I think he will be happy to have a group of Christian monks ready to fight."

All the monks gave a cry of joy and prepared to found their order of holy knights who would fight against the pagans.

A few days later Emperor Ludovico looked at a scroll where he was asked permission to found the first order of holy knights.

\'The Knights of Paris, what an interesting group of monks. I think I will accept the creation of your group and give you one of my castles on the border with the pagans of the north.

 

Unless they function as a safety zone in case the pagans attack us, I think it should be a good idea.

 

Either way, all manpower will be needed to kill my sister. I knew that none of my father\'s children can be trusted.

 

I hope she suffers a lot when she is raped and killed. \'

 

After other days in the Holy See, the Supreme Pontiff Gregory IV looked at the letter of the new holy order that he wanted to found.

In it, resources were promised for the church of the conquests to do, so Gregorio stroked his beard.

"That group of monks will fight for God and they will do it for free. Not only that, but they will give us resources from their conquests and we will not have to do anything.

I think I am enjoying holy wars. We should do them more often. Perhaps the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula will be a good idea.

Later we will only have to go south, perhaps recover Jerusalem, the holy land that the Muslims conquered. That city must be in control of the church.

It must not be in the hands of pagan foreigners. "

Gregory looked at one of his guards and pointed out, "Quickly bring my personal items to make a decree of god for the foundation of the holy order of the knights of Paris."

That same day, the Christian world learned of the founding of the first group of soldiers to fight for Christ the sacred order of the Knights of Paris.

In a small castle near the wall of the pagans of the north, the group of monks of the order of the knights of Paris had settled down.

All of them were already almost 4000 knights. The vast majority were monks, but there were also mercenaries, free people and even some slaves.

To whom redemption was offered for fighting the heathen.

Although they had little time to train before the day indicated by Emperor Ludovico, they all received basic but effective training.

In handling the use of the sword and shield, they would be a secondary force throughout the conflict because they were not very well prepared.

Those who would be on the front lines of the conflict would be the levies and volunteers who would be on the first ships to land on the beaches of the ice island.

In the battlement tower of the castle of the order of the knights of Paris.

There was a man without hair who was wearing a green garment as well as a chain-mail.

He was the Master, a fairly large monk but, unlike his companions, if he had experienced fighting because, during his childhood and adolescence, he was a mercenary.

It\'s just that when he grew up, he decided to leave his life of death behind in order to serve God.

The man who was working sighed and stopped writing the parchment in his hand, which was a request to the emperor to found the city of Nova Paris.

In honor of the city, that the Vikings had burned and destroyed.
