The '''Conquest of Joanusterra''', formally known as the '''War of Errantry''' ([[Burgoignesc langugae|Burgoignesc]]: ''Guerre errante'', [[East Gothic language|Gothic]]: ''Irrender Krieg''), was a Crusade called by Pope Callixtus III against [[Gothica]] which lasted from 1458-1474. The sixteen year Crusade, which followed the failed [[Ænglish Crusade against Gothica]], was a success for the crusaders and resulted in the near-universal deposal of [[East Goths|Gothic]] nobility from [[Gothica|Eastern Gothica]] and forceful conversion of the [[East Goths]] to [[Levantine Catholicism]]. | The '''Conquest of Joanusterra''', formally known as the '''War of Errantry''' ([[Burgoignesc langugae|Burgoignesc]]: ''Guerre errante'', [[East Gothic language|Gothic]]: ''Irrender Krieg''), was a Crusade called by Pope Callixtus III against [[Gothica]] which lasted from 1458-1474.

The largely [[History_of_Dericania#Late_Imperial_period|Deric]] crusaders were led by an array of lesser nobles who amassed with their retinues in [[Ænglasmarch]] in early 1458. The crusaders led by Count of [[History_of_Dericania#County_Palatine_of_Estia|Estia]] [[Joanus de Martigueux]] entered [[Gothica]] from the east by the [[Vollardic Mountains]], headed for the city of [[Koop]]. Early crusaders successes culminated in the decisive [[Battle of Willersthal]] which saw numerically superior Gothic forces destroyed, outmaneuvered and outclassed by de Martigueux's mounted heavy cavalry forces. Subsequent major battles were few, much of Gothica's principal leadership having been killed or captured at Willersthal. Sieges were common, as Gothic lords attempted to hide out the conquest in their walled castles. Some Gothic lords like [[Eberhard the Sentinel]] and [[Markvart von Talerbeck]] were christened voluntarily and joined the ranks of the crusaders. The Order of the [[Knights of the Oblong Table]] was officially formed in 1462 as an inner circle of most trusted allies to de Martigueux. What is today the modern Yonderian [[Collinebourg County]] was conquered at around this time, and de Martigueux let his [[Collinebourg Castle|castle Collinebourg]] be built on a hill overlooking the [[Peritonne River]] in 1464, from which the future capital of Yonderre [[Collinebourg]] soon grew out. | The largely [[History_of_Dericania#Late_Imperial_period|Deric]] crusaders were led by an array of lesser nobles who amassed with their retinues in [[Ænglasmarch]] in early 1458.
