The Quintuple: Difference between revisions

==Aftereffects==

Immediately following the Battle of Cancale, the Duke of Cancale raised his levies in support of the Crown, bringing enough troops to replace those lost by the Royalists in numbers, though not training. This, along with the news of the crushing Royalist victory at Teindun, cowed much of the remaining aristocracy into seeking peace terms or declaring themselves for the Royalists. While not a total victory, the Quintuple and in particular the decimation of Prince McMahon and Prince Mahon's private armies, namely their professional cavalry and mercenaries, made it extremely difficult for the rebel Princes to launch any sort of offensive throughout the rest of the year. It also restabilized the political situation in Dunlann, which had mostly remained neutral but was generally opposed to Royalist power, as the many smaller Crown holdings bordering their own fiefs made for a significant threat that their titles would be seized. This was not unfounded, as Cailean aggressively stripped as many titles from rebel and (insufficiently loyal) lords as possible during and after the war, but the critical loss of respect for the central army was restored after the battles.
