Conseil du Royaume

[Braden]

Henri stands, nodding in appreciation to Raoul de Châtillon before starting

My Lords,

I will put forth my Edict for the session, seems I am the first thus far.

Edict 3.1: All French forces are to extricate themselves from Albion by the quickest and safest means. Any provinces in Albion currently held by French forces must be evacuated and, where possible, taxes increased to the maximum level.

We are to give Albion back to its inhabitants now that our intentions are non-aggressive towards the English. I feel this shows we are benevolent and true Christians

We have united France and brought the English crown back to the fold of the Papacy, let us bask in our accomplishments and look towards our next challenge…a Crusade against the heathens! We did NOT get the PROMISED crusade in England, now there is no England to crusade against! I ask formally that someone ensure my Edict from the last session stands and is upheld. The Moors have shown themselves to be worthy foes with the ability to sneak an entire ARMY into our heartlands without detection, for Christendom they must be brought to heel and Iberia freed.

Tis a pity I can propose but one Edict in truth so I have chosen the one I feel most important for us to accomplish as soon as possible.

Henri sits again
