Imperial Diet & Rules

I am not heading to Brandenburg Bohemia, but to Frankfurt to aid our Kaizer.

Friedrich von Eisler:

"And that's all that the Margrave ever asked from the Reichmarschall, besides staying within the confines of the law."

The Prinz, ignoring the man from Brandenburg.

My apologies to Count and Kaiser for the misunderstanding.

Ernst von Melk has received a missive from the Prinz.

Mein Kaiser, the Prinz, in siege at Milan, stolen from us by the Venetian cur, has received word that the Pope seeks to bar him from entering the city by Papal Bull.

He wishes to know your view as to whether he should ahem "kow tow to that loathsome and execrable hat fetishist or instead storm the walls and doing so shove my mailed fist.." Oh. Well your Imperial Majesty no doubt is able to correctly assess the tone from that extract.

What response should I give?

Jens Harden marches into the Throne room, covered in mud from his recent march with a furious look upon his face.

He looks around for the Margrave and his mood seems to lift slightly when it is clear that he is not in attendance before kneeling before the Kaiser.

My Kaiser,
I come with news of treachery in our midst.
The Margrave has explicitly threatened and denied the Reichsmarshall from entering his lands. This will lengthen my march to relieve the capitol by at least an entire season. As an agent of the Reich, this is tantamount to his declaring hostile intent towards the Reich itself, as well as delaying its defense. I demand that Theodericus be stripped of his title for this outrage.
Time and again he has stood in the way of my defense of the Reich, every time testing the limits of what he can get away with, well no more! The position of Reichsmarshall exists solely for our defense, and yet Theodericus threatens me with violence!
This time he has truly stepped over the line and entered into treachery against the Reich!

I also request permission from von Essen to once again use Innsbruck for recruitment, I will be recruiting
Sergeant Spearmen (430)
Peasant Archers (200)
Mounted Sergeants (460)

Of course, any recruitment that's needed.

Ernst of Melk is heard to give a sharp intake of breath. Grinning, he awaits the Kaiser's response.

Friedrich von Eisler:

"What new folly is this? The Margrave is owner of his own land. He decides who gets to enter it, and all he has done is to deny this dreg to befoul the earth of Brandenburg-Bohemia. The only violence that has been threatened is if he would ignore this and still break through the Margrave's land. In other words, he only let Jens know that this decision would be enforced. With the track record Jens carries, that seemed like an axiomatic necessity."

Friedrich turns to the Kaiser.

"Now, the fact that Jens Herden doesn't respect other people's property is well known, but as Kaiser, you have to. On the Margrave's behalf, I apologize for any trouble this causes you, Kaiser, but the Margrave simply cannot trust this rat to enter his lands with an armed force behind him. If you think you can trust him that way, so be it, but if you ask me he is as likely to join the Polish besiegers as he is of attacking them."
