Let us read the chronicle of Catalonia, penned by its ruler, the Count of Barcellona, and what transpired in its first dozen turns of play
In the tumultuous year of our Lord 1088, I, Rodrigo, Conde de Barcelona, stood at the precipice of war, beset by challenges both within my county and from the looming threat of the Almoravids. With unwavering determination, I turned to my trusted Uncle Silo de Gaona and my younger brother Luys, despite their shadows of doubt and discord that lingered. With the Almoravids encroaching upon our lands and the embers of conflict smouldering, we made the fateful decision to raise an army and march south along the coast, determined to rid ourselves of this menace once and for all. As I deliberated upon the intricate balance of power and resources, my heart weighed heavy with the burden of leadership.

Amidst the chaos of preparation, Uncle Silo's fervour for reclaiming Spain for the cloth burned bright, infusing our ranks with renewed purpose. With each passing season, our forces swelled in anticipation of the impending conflict, bolstered by the promise of reinforcements from the Lord of Urgell.
As the drums of war thundered and the Emir of Tortosa declared his aggression, our resolve was tested like never before. With our fortified village at Tarragona under siege, I unleashed Luys to defend our borders, while forces gathered in Barcelona to join the fray. Yet, the spectre of manpower shortages loomed large, threatening to tip the scales against us. Through the trials of battle and the tribulations of siege, our faith never wavered. Despite the heresies that festered in Urgell and the relentless onslaught from our foes, we stood resolute, united in our pursuit of victory. And when the dust of battle settled, it was not just a triumph of arms, but a testament to the indomitable spirit of Rodrigo, Conde de Barcelona, and his steadfast resolve to defend his realm against all odds.
