Not really. The people of Bruges like him well enough, but it wasn't Iceland that got France off their back, it was Spain. And they said whoever could get France off their back they'd become vassals of. Widespread disorder, revolts, weakened economic strength, etc, etc. You can't just change your nation's faith whenever you want. I would repay you trying to take one of my cities by killing your country, yes. Well Dusty's army is over 100,000 strong, plus Dungeonal who would undoubtedly join in and that alone is probably 170,000 - 200,000 troops. If my calculations are correct, you'd get demolished. 25,700 troops (where most are defencive) to a value of ~60,000,000 (quality beats quantity) + a castle + possible help from Persia + possible help from others. I'd say my chances are about 50-60% Your entire army is crossbowmen.
