King Harold of England
40 counties, independent
hello_history 122Harold Godwinson was the leader of a powerful noble house, and the brother-in-law of the King, when the childless King Edward died. Now, elected the new King of England by his peers, he is faced with the challenge of holding onto the throne, as the covetous Duke of Normandy, as well as King Harald of Norway, spurred on and aided by Harold's exiled brother, seek to replace him! With a large army at your back and the support of the Anglo-Saxon lords — will the wolves find that they have bitten off more than they can chew?

hello_history [id] takes these IDs — the game describes it as “show a character from history”, argument “Scripted history character ID”.
play [character id] wants the in-game character ID instead, which is not the history ID: with debug mode on, hover over a character to see it.
