1070 - the year of Great Reformation of Georgia
The King knew he needed new subjects to govern his land and all talented men of Georgia were summoned to the castle for election purpose. There is the matter of cities and churches to manage.
Among all the top candidates - Gabrieli Androni-whateverhisnameis gets the top pick as the Steward and was given two cities and a church. Ambitious as he is, the three prizes given away was enough to buy off his loyalty.
Aleksandre and the other two Gabrielis, competent stewards were also given a bishopry and city each to govern.
Many smiling faces left the Castle that day.
A new Council is also re-elected. But no skilled diplomat nor marshall can replace the old guard - they're going to hate the King, but it's a risk we are willing to take.
Later that year, the King announced the institution of Harsh City Tax law.
For the Kingdom's progress and development funds, he said.
And as promised, the coastal cities are getting new harbors to boost trade income.
A daughter was born, his wife suggested Bedisa, but the King would have none of it. Her name will be Georgia.
And soon, winter arrive.
Wishing to end the year in a good note, the Good King summoned dancers and cooks to the castle - preparing a winter feast for his vassals to attend!
No expenses were spared to entertain the guests.
And many Georgian food was served.
The year is 1071 , the past year - was a good year for Georgia.
