NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
it's a kingdom
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
shit
oh my god
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
which is probably the closest to a "country" you'll get in medieval times
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
:^)'s into the distance
i'm trying to remember but there' sso much info going on
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
just be thankful you don't have to deal with the holy roman empire
elective monarchy
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
i'm fairly sure uhh
ancient ara ara
maybe
but that's not important
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
no no
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
im looking at Origins here
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
I don't mean the roman empire
I mean the holy roman empire
different things
it also had nothing to do with rome
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
i've been in my hetalia phase buddy
why do you think i brought up antonio :y
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017

olivinearc - 11/21/2017

NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
hon hon

olivinearc - 11/21/2017
sebastian/ien/whatever Antunez de la ???
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
Sebastián Antúnez if you want to have fun with tildes
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
i got distracted
so what do you think, antunenenenenez or a de la smth
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
antunez means you don't have to think what to put after de la, so I'd go for that :V
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
ok but rule of cool
and think of what a ham would prefer
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
he could have both tbh
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
yesssssssssss
what list am i picking from
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
not sure if there's a list for those
de la vega is nice
and I can imagine him laughing his ass off when it turned out he shared a surname with el zorro
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
i just boke'd the shit out of my boss
but vega's a city, right?
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
nope, it means meadow
I mean I'm sure there are cities out there with vega in their names, but still
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
oh, i thought you mentioned earlier that de la was for like
places
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
it can be, but most of the time it's not
like, Bilbo of the Shire? in spanish it's Bilbo de la Comarca
(not an actual surname but that's how those are formed anyway)
(or were)
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
ohh
shit i forgot if it was sebastien or sebastian
one sec
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
an
sebastien is french
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
shhh i just looked
wELL A HON HON TO U TOO
Sebastián Antúnez de la Vega
son of Duke Antonioooo
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
now for the fun part
duke of where? :V
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
i want the dude naturally tan so there's a start
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
well
considering all of the sunny part of spain was muslim back then...
also most of the tanned tones in spain nowadays come from interbreeding with muslims back then
which most likely wouldn't have happened to a noble family that soon into the reconquista
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
yells AFFAIR BABY
but ehhhh
:thinking:
well he'd have olive skin either way right
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
eh, dunno
on one hand it's historically inaccurate
on the other it's what most people would expect from a spaniard no matter the time
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
why r u all so WHITE
go s h
what's the point of being in the spain
if ur not getting
:clap:
the sun
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
tell that to the galicians :V
or the basques for that matter
olivinearc - 11/21/2017
:clap: gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :clap:
NeonBlack - 11/21/2017
but anyway
castile is a given
so the area we have to work with will depend on the exact time of his birth
because in the 11th century castile went in the blink of an eye from "small kingdom with about two or three duchies tops" to "biggest christian kingdom in spain"
