Notes
The Normans have conquered the Muslims. They now gain the variable income die roll for the Muslims, and the Muslim home areas are now Norman home areas. Unless Venice retreats off the board, he will gain the same income. The only difference is that if he retreats to garrison, the Holy Roman Empire will receive one less ducat.
