Two Thrones takes place in the years between 1337 and 1490 in a time where nobility and the church held absolute power.
This was a time at the height and splendor of the medieval period, where great achievements and chivalric deeds were all common as were the treacherous tragedies and villainous actions of its people. In this period new cities were founded, great castles constructed, universities, convents and cathedrals built. Terrible wars were fought, the Black Death extinguished near a third of Europe’s population, famine and marauding warriors were scourges to the population.
A time where noble families in France and England engaged in an epic war for the control of the two thrones of the kingdom.
