The latter years of Duke Rolando\s life are spent upgrading the castle in Arezzo in his home county of Firenze. Starting out in 769, there really isn't much development, even in the heartland of Italy. His first son, Giacomo, has come of age and unfortunately doesn't seem as martially inclined as his father.
Giacomo di Haggia was married to the eldest daughter of the Genoese Grand Mayor, who has already been so kind as to provide a child to the family. Though not a son, this young Giacinta should prove of some use. Perhaps as an alliance-securer later on, or as a leader in her own right should I be unlucky with the pollination mechanics.
I've decided to halt my rapid expansion on the peninsula, focusing instead on the islands of Sardinia and Corsica. We'll see how long that takes, however. I've expanded very rapidly and I think it's high time to relax a bit and improve some of my holdings, expand the family tree a bit, and settle down before I focus on my next ambition. There is, in fact, a kingdom of Sardinia and Corsica, so perhaps I will form that later and grant it to one of my family members later.
