"Ooh, ah, up the 'RA! Ooh ah up the 'RA!"

Protest rallies against Norman rule in Ireland gather in Dublin today, showing strong support for a resurgent IRA. Violence will surely increase in the coming days as a result.

What an Irish Republican movement means for Irish nobility, old and new, and potentially the rest of Europe, is another matter altogether...

Norman Forward Command, 20 kilometres southwest of Cologne

Word of the increasing rebel sentiment in Ireland reached the Norman king with great speed, even as the battle for Cologne raged on.

"Damned Irish dogs. I swear, I should have cut their proverbial throats long ago." Robert jammed a knife into the intelligence report. "Any word on who's running their bloody rebellion?"

"None yet, Your Grace. However, and this is an extremely preliminary intel report, their rule seems to be populist in general, hostile to Norman rule, but seemingly wanting more of a Republican ideology rather than their old Siadhail regimes."

"Well, that could prove useful, if it truly came down to it. Do whatever can be done to quell those rebellions, Millian. If they become violent, our men shall react in kind. Otherwise, let them complain all they wish. In the meantime, I want to know everything about these rebellions. If they have any kind of leader, I want him followed and watched. Keep all forces in Brittany and Wales mobilized, in case we need to make a show of full force. Redouble the search for any remaining O'Siadhail or O'Neill. If they are still in the country, I want them executed and hung in the public squares."

"Yes, Your Grace." Millian scurried out of the room. Robert returned to reviewing the battle plans for the coming assault to retake Cologne from the Genesians, but could not shake his anger at the Irish. He slammed his knife's blade down into the Emerald Isle's location on the map, the handle coming loose from the impact, but the blade standing firmly in its place.
