Prokop the Bad.

INTRODUCTION
Prokop the Bad (388-435VC) was a contestant for the Silver Seat of Joraje during the Loren succession crisis and was Count of Nidyitz. He allied with Gerhard of Vitep, Lord of the Horaks, and Ulrich of Mibram, Lord of the Jehnidy. 
EARLY LIFE
Prokop was the 3rd son of Duke Jindrich Loren and his wife Susanna of Samospeze. Prokop was tutored by Agnis of Valy. Jindrich's death in 404 left a 17 year old Jan Stavlan on the throne. Prokop was not fully supportive of his brother's rule and conspired with Hejnrik II behind his back. After Hejnrik's imprisonment he allied Ulrich of Mibram who acted as regent for the Jehnidy and Gerhard of Vitep, the ruler of the Horak family.

====== BRUNO ======
In 417 with the death of Jan the Wise Prokop rose up against Bruno of Rund regent of Joraje. He successfully captured Rojmberk in 420 and made the Brehsa family revolt against Bruno at Skawotz. Bruno also took Norŝof which provoked Bruno to seize his lands in Nidyitz. In 422 Prokop made a huge victory at Vernberk where a joint coalition of Horak, Jehnidy and pretender army crushed Bruno of Rund's relieving army. Bruno's death in captivity lead to Ankred of Lorenvald succeeding who was Prokop's nephew.
ANKRED
Since Bruno's capture in 422 the Jehnidy had laid waste to Loren lands. Aiming to end this Ankred made promises to his nobles and raised an army which attacked Prokop at Nabom Mill. Despite strategic weakness and a potential route, Prokop managed to minimise losses and escape without Ankred pursuing him. After Ankred troops returned home Prokop resumed his raids on Karred and Loren holdings in Joraje managing to escape Ankred's armies at Prynof nod Orat and Savahoff. Prokop never had a large enough army to siege any major cities. After years of raiding Prokop decided to finally aim to retake a holding and establish himself there. For this he chose the city of Sahnbroch in Karred. There, Prokop with Jehnidy and Horak supplies sieged the city. As the city was reinforced by Zebyslo who launched a staunch resistance against the siegers, and Prokop began to run out of supplies he abandoned the siege. However he was caught in his retreat at Zabuch nad Radas where Zebyslo and Ankred devastated the pretender army who scattered into the Eberzornwald. As a result of this battle Prokop could no longer fund his own campaigns without significant assistance from Ulrich and Gerhard. However Gurtred of Glostok's death in 429 meant Gerhard could provide lots of cash and supplies to Prokop and this, combined with Ulrich's renewed support lead to the successful siege of Lorenvald Castle in 430. This was vital to Prokop's attempt to make himself Duke as holding the Silver Seat legitimized his rule. However but 1 year later, Gerhard died and his lands were split. In response to this Ankred launched an attack but died at Arryet abbey on his way to Lorenvald.
