Duc Raymon de Provence stands.

Sir Gaspard de Neufville is my man, my Dauphin. Though I do not support his edict, he has my full support in proposing it. If this body cannot even entertain thoughts that are not favored by his majesty, then may I ask what purpose it is to serve?

Although I am skeptical that the Normans will and over the Duchy of Anjou for a fair price, if they are willing to accept a price such that we may recoup the losses before my prospective term expires than I fully support the endeavour. Such would be the conditions I would have the Princess negotiate with, unless his majesty would prefer a different criteria.
