Sigismund's Invasion of Upper Alcase was an invasion/banditry war fought by the Lorraine duke Sigismund Asgrimsson who was hired by the State of the Lowlands against the Kingdom of Alcase's dutchy of Upper Alcase. The conflict would bring the brilliance of Leliana Orsinio to the forefront of the Alcase politics as she was able to defeat Sigismund Asgrimsson of whom prior to his defeat at Castle Pasquel had become infamous for having never been defeated in battle.
Background[]
Prelude[]
It was Adhela Asgrimsson that pushed for the Sigismund to accept the offer of the State of the Lowlands to pay for him to lead the mercenary force into the Kingdom of Alcase.
- “It is time Sigismund to think beyond the borders of Lorraine. It is time to take from the continent what we are deserved. Use these Lowlanders money to get us more of what we deserve. Take what is given.”
- — Adhela Asgrimsson
Sigismund Asgrimsson is paid by the State of the Lowlands in the Imperial Empire of Germania to attack as bandits the Alcase dutchy of Upper Alcase and in this he leads a force into Upper Alcase where he is opposed by the forces of Leliana Orsinio as the main Alcase is unable to act due to the massing of large Lowland forces near the border.
The War[]
Battle of Castle Pasquel[]
The forces of Sigismund Asgrimsson defeat the forces of Duke Vincent Pasquel but entering the castle they walk into a trap and lose significant forces to the ambush of Leliana Thoe Orsinio of whom delivers the first real defeat against Sigismund and with this defeat and the start of the First Lorraine-Lombard War he is forced to leave Alcase but does with extreme bitterness.
