This story takes place in a fantasy version of Medieval europe. Religeon was real power in those days, equal or greater than any ruling monarchy. So naturally there was a war between various flavors of Christianity.
The flavor that had the current Monarch's ear would convert, torture and kill "heretics" who followed any of the other flavors of Christianity, or any other competing religeon. |
