Additional Information
You can attain land for yourself via two methods, tournaments and conquests. Tournaments include jousts and morning star competitions. Most of the action occurs during conquests, however.
In your battles against the Normans, you'll have to manage your funds appropriately as you attempt to build a powerful army. Once your army is together, you'll start raiding Norman castles. Both you and the Normans can move all of your troops in a single turn. When a group of Saxon soldiers encounters a group of Normans, a computer-generated battle will ensue. If you manage to win most of these battles all the way to the castle, the land is yours. If you need it, occasionally Robin Hood is available to help you. Don't forget to defend you new land, though, as the Normans will be anxious to reclaim it. Once you have secured all castles, England is yours to rule.

@ 1989 Ultra Software Corpcration.
To reclaim the crown and
conquer the heart of a
beautiful maiden, you must
outwit and outmaneuver
hords of medieval marauders
and Norman no-goods.
Read maps, plan raids, even
team with Robin Hood, then
plunder enemy strongholds,
dueling for gold needed to
build an army of mercenary
vassals. You'll also need to
stash cash for catapults
that launch boulders, fire
and disease into formidable
fortresses.
So wise up and rise up to
this unique challenge, where
leadership is as important
as swordsmanship. For when
you've survived this strategic
adventure, complete with
daring jousts and courageous
castle sieges, you won't be
sorry—youW be king!
For 1 player.
