The Iberian Experience in Tours and Tournaments - Alfonso the Battler of Aragon - Crusader Kings 3
Aragon as a kingdom is most famous for its connection to Castile I'd say, but in Crusader Kings 3, we can take all sorts of directions for the humble mountain kingdom. Alfonso the Battler is a historically important figure in Aragon's early history for his work in pushing the Andalusians back south.
In Tours and Tournaments, CK3's Iberian experience has only improved, and in this video, I've got some cool things going on both with some new editing tricks, and some foreign language stuff. Let me know what you think of both.

I loved the Spanish. As a native, there are a few conjugations that can be improved, but I freaking loved it. Cheers!
Nice to see you're back on CK3 storytelling. As a spaniard I was quite surprised by that little segment in the mother tongue XD. You did quite well all things considered, spanish (and in this case Castilian spanish) ain't easy on english speakers, and still, pronounciations were quite impressive on many areas. Hope you keep at it, languages are great and being shy about mispronouncing stuff only gets in the way of greater leaning.
Glad I did well, definitely thinking to do more (although I don't know if I can do as well in other languages compared to Spanish LUL )
@@Tarkusarkusar your spanish was good but the language of aragon is aragonese
Alfonso I "el Batallador" is a fascinating historical figure. Being king of both Aragón and Pamplona (Navarra) he was married to Queen Urraca of Castilla, León and Galicia. It was agreed that, if they ever had any children, all the kingdoms owned by the parents would be passed onto the child. But It never came to pass, as they didn't have any (Alfonso even fought wars against his wife). An heir of both monarchs could have produced an interesting early unification of the christian kingdoms in Iberia, but It never took place and Alfonso died childless. What he is also famous for, is that he appointed the knights Templars, the knights Hospitaller and the knights of the Holy Sepulchre as heirs to inherit his whole kingdom (yes the military orders of the Holy Land inheriting entire kingdoms). At his death, however, the nobles of the realm didn't accept his will, and instead, put Alfonso's younger brother, Ramiro, who was the bishop of Roda at the time, as king. As an aragonese myself It was a joy to watch this video! Feel free to correct or add anything you see fit on this comment (I am no historian, and I merely enjoy learning some history). Btw, you did quite well with the monologue! It was perfectly understandable congrats! Edit: some grammar and readjusting the order of the text itself. Cool personal historical fact: The military orders knew about the will of the deceased king Alfonso, and in exchange for not reclaiming their inheritance, the received several churches and land throughout the kingdom (mostly Calatayud, which you can conquer on the map, and some land in Barcelona which i do not know of). What is more curious is, that to this day, one of the churches given to the orders is in my grandmother's hometown, and (although It is not the same structure) It can be visited and it is in use to this day. The church itself is named Real Basílica-Colegiata del Santo Sepulcro and it is located in Calatayud.
I absolutely loved the Spanish speech! I'm a massive language nerd and always appreciate a multilingual video! Overall a fantastic video, very much looking forward to a part 2 👀
I did very much so enjoy the speech, I thought it immersed me into the story in a way just watching the gameplay couldn’t. Great video!
I love your storytelling in these videos. I also love how you apparently speak Spanish fluently.
I'm glad it sounds fluent, lol. Hopefully the Spanish native speakers will agree
Man, Aragon had a similar situation to Prussia with his Monarchs. James the Conqueror reconquest most of the Eastern Peninsula and the Balearic islands, and the Peter the Great conquered Sicily.
this man roleplays so hard it started speaking spanish! denle una medalla por flor de capo
I like to imagine Alfonso's Thief Slayer title is also in reference to him conquering the stolen lands of Iberia
THIS VIDEO IS SOOOOO COOOOL! THE MONOLOGUE WAS AWESOME!
LOVED THE SPANISH MONOLOGUE, you''re awesome at this, i put this so i can sleep sometimes, or just in the background so i can hear your voice
As a Spanish speaker you did great, felt the speech in my bones!
I loved the monologue, do more pls LETSFUCKINGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This was a great video and I like the inclusion of the Kings speech - gave us a bit more of the warrior king rather than just the warrior. Always love your roleplay videos
Loved the spanish, it wasn't perfect but it was a lot closer to it that what I've come to expect from english speaking people sadly. I'd love if you continued with stunts like that, they add a lovely drama to the stories.
Super cool RP. Love the commitment to the storytelling. Keep it up!
The Spanish bit was funny and cool as fuck, a nice nod to the video in general. Coming from a Cuban.
I love these videos!
the iberian experience. Conquer the entire peninsula in like two lifetimes and spend the next 7 getting all the culture conversion to your primary dejure kingdom just to end the struggle despite owning the entire peninsula for hundreds of years.
Loved the monologue
ya that spanish was awesome man sounded really good!
Really well made monologue!
The Spanish monologue was badass.
I loved the monologue
In case you wanna do more of those with characters who are members of already existing dynasties, there is a mod for joining an already existing house (or it can be done through console command) while console isnt achievement compatible, as of tours and tournaments you can get achievements with mods.
I wish you would do some of these with More Bookmarks so we get a more accurate world around the characters, anyhow it still is an amazing video!
The Spanish monologue was awesome!!
Lets go!
Noice
Cool ass video man for real. As a native Spanish speaker, I would suggest that you proofread your dialogues before making your script, I would offer that myself for free if you wish :) I'm studying translation and I love ck3 so it would be my pleasure, and also if you need help with Spanish in case you're learning it I'm happy to help!
As a spanish speaker, I’m impressed you actually did a speech in spanish, though it is different from spanish in the Americas (those who live in Spain use words like estáis but in the Americas most don’t, as well as using “th” in words like Corazón to make it “corathon” which sounds so weird to me lol). I believe some South American countries use the “th” sound more. But Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, etc. do not
No one says corathon what're you talking about?
@@napoleonbuonaparte8975 Yes, people do. I’ve also heard it in other spanish music before. It’s not common, but it is said. I’ve taken advanced spanish courses where we listen to people on the radio or what have you, and I’ve heard it there. Look it up. Again, hispanic groups such as those in Central America and the Carribean do not say it that way.
@@sirnetflix7162 I'm from south America and never heard someone talking like that. I also don't know any Spaniard that talks like that. The only thing that resembles what you said is people pronuoncing the Spanish Z like an S in Latin America.
As a spaniard from Aragón this is very curious, as we look at this the other way around. We say corazón with a "th" sound (as in thousand) to it, which, to us spaniards, is the used pronunciation for the letter Z (except for the people in the Canary Islands, which i've heard it said either Z ("th") or S).
"corathón"
huge !!!!!!!!!!!!
There are mods to add yourself to any house post-character creation
There is a mod to join dynasties but I don't know what's called but there's a KZheadr that used it he's called mr Samuel streamer.
It be nice if you took aragon to Itally and make it the renewed western roman empire. Aragon, historically, had some of those roman ambitions, with it's strong grib on the mediteranian with the coast it has and those many islands, there was quite a desire to have an Aragonese mare nostrum. It be great though, while I am at it, if you didn't go for roman title proper, by attaking the byzantines, since we see that too often. As such, if you are going to take my suggestion then please constrain yourself to the western roman empire.
More RP content. Joyful day.
Play victoria 3 as brazil please
I did enjoy the speech! However, shouldn't I have been Catalan, not the Castilian derived Spanish? 🤔
Probably not, since Alfonso the Battler was Aragonese, and spoke Aragonese, which is a West Iberian language (like Castilian) while Catalan is an Occitano-Romance language. The real reason of course is that the closest equivalent to Aragonese I can speak is Spanish LUL (to be fair, it is argued whether Aragonese is West Iberian or Occitano-Romance, so jury's out, still stands that I know neither Catalan nor Aragonese)
@@Tarkusarkusar fair enough!
