peter the hermit
she wrote a response, "greu m'es a durar", to the famous anti-papal "sirventes" of guilhem figueira, following figueira's poem in metre and rhyme for about twenty stanzas. instead of blaming the papal legate pelagius of albano for the failure of the fifth crusade, she laid the blame on the "foolishness" of the wicked. she went on to justify the crusade against the heretics at home on the grounds that the heresy was more dangerous than islam and the heretics had falser hearts. finally, she expressed a desire to see figueira tortured to death. her poem fell well within the bounds of orthodox piety and her position, far from being radical, was that of the church as expressed by pope innocent iii and contemporary troubadour lanfranc cigala.

religion plays an important role in knights of honor. there are 4 different types of religion: the catholic church, the orthodox church, islam, and paganism. the catholic pope has much influence in medieval europe. he can excommunicate catholic kingdoms and call for crusades against non-catholic kingdoms. when a player chooses to go on a crusade they are granted powerful crusader units. when the pope dies, his successor is chosen among several clerics throughout europe. if the player happens to have a very experienced cleric, there is a chance he will be chosen as pope. from then on, the player controls the pope and can choose to excommunicate kingdoms and call for crusades, a successful crusade can result in a puppet state that is unquestionably loyal to the leader of the crusade or plunder the town for a huge sum of gold. the catholic church is located in western europe and the mediterranean. orthodox factions are located in south east europe and answer to byzantium. these factions can declare independence and form their own churches which grants them a greater sum of gold while lacking the disadvantage of being excommunicated which results in a gold penalty. islamic empires have the ability to call a jihad which is similar to a crusade and will cause armies to spawn at their borders and attack any invaders or rebels. this is a powerful ability but it has a long cool down period . islam is found in north africa and the middle east. paganism is the smallest religion being found only in scandinavia and some parts of eastern europe. pagans do not collect piety (a religious resource used to build certain units and buildings and perform some diplomatic options) so are free to focus on gold and are not troubled by religious problems such as religious tension but they have a penalty on their income and have bad relations with all other religions. paganism is the only religion the player or other kingdoms cannot convert to, the only way to play as a pagan nation is to start the game as one. the player can renounce his faith and adopt another official religion (except paganism) but such religious conflict will often split the kingdom up and one must reunify the nations as a result.
