A note arrives with instructions to be read at the counsel Signed from Alexandre Le Sueur.

Fellow nobles!
I have heard the worrying news from the Seneschal that the Holy Roman Empire sees fit to invade out lands and the English wish to take Wales. I propose procede as such.
1. we consider if we need the land newly conquered and if we can protect it.
2. We might gain land at home if we sell it to the English.
3. If we sell Stuffen to the English the Holy Roman Empire will have to wage war on them.
4. we could buy peace and maybe an alliance with one of them which would secure our borders for the time being.

I await the counsels decision.
