Conseil du Royaume

[AussieGiant]

There is a cracking sound, Alain speaks.

"Ze Pope 'as called for no Crusade.

'e 'as simply excommunicated ze English, zere is a difference my lords!!

We could 'ave asked for a crusade against ze Muslims at any time in ze last decade or two but we did not, likewise no ozer Cazolic kingdom or ze Pope 'imself 'as either.

If ze Pope 'imself wishes to take ze matter fuzer zen we should let 'im decide if zere is to be a crusade against ze English.

So I say again, if we are to be vaguely honourable and chivalrous we should make simple war against ze English for our lands on the continent. We should not parley ze Pope's displeasure for our own secular aims. If a crusade is to be called zen let ze Pope decide, if at all."
