Well obviously you haven't listened to everything that has been said by me or His Highness Henri or Brother Hermant for that matter... Frankfurt will not suffer from this Crusade and remain perfectly safe. Are we clear on this matter Duc de Rohan?

Because I am and I will not tolerate you suggesting the opposite time and again.

Concerning the fears of our Seneshal.

His first point is important. The zeal of a Crusade can often lead to many men joining such a cause. Men who would need pay once a Crusade is finished. The Seneshal has a better overview over the finances of the Kingdom so I would trust his judgement on this. If he deems it necessary we would need legislation that forces the disbandment of any Crusaders once our goal is reached.
To the increased cost of new provinces. Once again I do not know whether new tax income would outweigh the cost of garrisons. My plan does not propose any land grab other than those necessary to defeat King William.

The second point is equally important. I have asked in this chamber for those nobles who wish to join the Crusade to step forward. None did. Maybe more would be forthcoming now. I already said that the Order would join this endeavour. This does not mean every Noble of the Order. The exact number will have to be determined among our Brother Knights in regards to the safety of the German border.
The Seneshal voices his fear that staying behind will be unpopular. Should no one want to stay I will personally stay behind to ensure the Order can fulfill its duties.

The third point I have also adressed. Strike at London to depose William. Reconcile with his successor and make the most profit out of London should it fall in our hands.

Thos are my stances on the matters. What are yours? Besides complaining about my speech you have not been very forthcoming on how the House of Bretagne stands on these matters? I would be honoured to fight alongside you should we both find ourselves joining the Crusade.
