Revolt of the Brother Princes

A historical war in Westerlands, within the Kingdom of Vaskaja. Around 1160, the political situation in the Westerlands was heavily divided between a Corveaux-Magiore alliance and the Kingdom of Vaskaja. King Manuel of Vaskaja was a cousin of the former Prince of Corveaux, so the Corvians rightfully feared that the battlefield would move from the Westerlands to their lands and exchanged envoys with lesser powers in the West to stop King Manuel’s plans to recover his father’s lands.
The Vaskaja brothers Oros and Desza revolted against Manuel while he was South of the Wrynova planning an offensive along the Corvian coast. This revolt posed danger to the King if he were to attack Corveaux, as the brothers could strike at his back and cut him off.
They next undertook an offensive against Prince Radoslav of Tyania, who was a loyal Vaskaja vassal. Radoslav was pushed to the northwest of Tyania, to Kotar, and retained only the coastal area, with the brothers holding much of inland Tyania. Oros ruled from 1162 until the battle at the Ida River in 1172, when Manuel defeated the brothers.
