I strongly oppose Edicts E1.1 and 1.2. I don't see how you can criticize the opportunism of this venture while at the same time passing legislation that makes this clear for all to see. Is this Emergency Session about how best to rid the English of their land or is this Emergency Session about how to dispose of their heretic ruler?
It seems to be the former is the case and if that is truly your intention then I will have no part of it. God and the Pope have given us an opportunity to show our faith to the whole of Christendom and you slander it for personal gains. How can you even propose reconquering a settlement like Valencia that was just traded to the English one season ago. What picture will this give the world about the word of a Frenchman? That they will give you one thing now and take it back by force immediately thereafter? This is shameful!
I second E1.3 as it's the only one that deals with the issues we must face during this Session. I furthermore propose
Edict E1.4:
No land will be taken from the English unless it is needed to defeat King William. (i.e. conquering London to get him to fight). Any settlement taken in this manner will be offered in trade during the following peace negotiations.
