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]], ended in victory for the crusaders and resulted in the creation of the marcher realm [[Yonderre|Joanusterra]] through the near-universal deposal of [[East Goths|Gothic]] nobility from [[Gothica|Eastern Gothica]] and forceful conversion of the [[East Goths]] to [[Levantine Catholicism]]. | ||
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.

A number of major sieges occured, notably that of [[Donnebourg]] which lasted almost two years from 1471-1473. With the Gothic nobility in East Gothica unseated and their lands occupied, de Martigueux announced that the crusaders stood victorious and that their crusade had reached its end. A period of rebuilding and further proselytising followed the sixteen years of conquest. de Martigueux divided the conquered lands between the [[Knights of the Oblong Table]] in a fashion which laid out the boundaries of the modern [[Counties of Yonderre]]. Petitions from de Martigueux to let his new realm be absorbed into the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] were denied by orders of Pope Sixtus IV to deny the Emperor more power. What followed instead was the signing of the ''[[Treaty for the guarantee of Joanus' Land]]'' between de Martigueux and Pope Alexander VI in 1494, which established Joanusterra as an independent realm. | ||
The consequences of the war for the [[East Goths]] were immense; not only had they been conquered and forcefully converted to [[Levantine Catholicism]], they had also suffered sixteen years of warfare and instability causing poverty and famine in the region, ultimately leading to widespread banditry, refugee crises and ultimately depopulation. The War of Errantry was also notable for its extensive use of early handheld firearms such as hand cannons, as well as wagon forts. | The consequences of the war for the [[East Goths]] were immense; not only had they been conquered and forcefully converted to [[Levantine Catholicism]], they had also suffered sixteen years of warfare and instability causing poverty and famine in the region, ultimately leading to widespread banditry, refugee crises and ultimately depopulation.
