History
Rastislav, also called Rostislav, ruled Moravia from 846 to 870. He began as a vassal of Louis the German and then fought him off. In 863 he asked Byzantium for teachers who knew the Slavic language. Constantine and Methodius came. In 870 his nephew Svatopluk handed him to the Franks. Louis the German had him blinded, and he died in captivity.
The 867 bookmark rates the seat Easy. He is 52, with about 27 counties, already Christian, and already living with the Frankish threat and the nephew. The mission is underway, not a future event.
