Fall 1057
Deadline/Winter-Spring 1058 8/1 Tuesday
Venetian and Byzantine spies gain wind of the Muslim plot and borrow ducats to foil it. The Pope makes gains against Pisa, and both suffer the wrath of God.
Addendum
The Pisan unit in Sienna is actually an army, not a fleet. It was built in the spring as an army and was noted in the moves as an army, but I mistakenly labeled it a fleet on the map. That mistake was then carried over into the moves in the summer. It has been corrected below.
