I have a mighty need for my reading list now and for the first one? I’ll even dust off my over decade-unused French

This one is supposed to be set a short time before Valhalla, during time Basim Ibn Ishaq was active in Constantinople
The fun thing is, as you are playing a French Hidden One (or Frankish, I suppose, would be more correct?), it would echo to Siege of Paris DLC and to how active the branch actually is. The DLC only hints on it, so having more backstory to go along with the hint? Would be most welcome. Moreso given that the Francia branch survived - unlike the Brittania branch
