Karl Folly
Karl Folly (fr. Charlemagne Folly) is the current Holy Emperor of the Holy Empire of Middland and head of the House Folly.
His primary goal was to finally throw back the continuous assaults coming from the northmen of Nordland. As means to this end, he raised the taxes on the lower nobility and peasants to maintain a standing army.
This increased the tension inside the Holy Empire of Middland, causing Jockel Schwabhausen to travel to the capital for an audience. House Schwabhausen is reliant on tariffs on trade with merchants of Südland. But trade has decreased recently and in consequence tariffs went down.
He wrote a letter of inquiry to the Venecian Merchant Council regarding Jockel Schwabhausens accusation of smuggling. After the council denied this claims Emperor Karl concluded the investigation, causing Jockel Schwabhausen to publicy accuse him of being bribed by the venecians.
This enraged him and he threw him into a prison cell, accusing him of causing discontent in the realm to profit of it. When Jockels brother Xander Schwabhausen raised an army and together with other houses attacked the Venecian Merchant Council, he rushed to the defense of the venetian to end this conflict before it could do to much damage to the realm. He feared that this conflict would encourage the northmen to increase their efforts to regain control of southern Nordland.
