Despite the name, the game is less about the Crusades themselves and more about simulating the history of medieval Europe (and, as time goes on, many other parts of the world) during the period from the late 8 th century to the middle of the 15 th century. I am playing a computer game, Crusader Kings 2. This scenario races through the mind of the Jarl of Sviþjod, Sigurðr “Ring,” otherwise known as, well, me. Charlemagne destroys the Irminsul in a special event from Crusader Kings 2.
