The English diplomat waves a hand. "There are hardly and of my King's subjects there. Let the Irish have the town, least they have sailed here in vain. However King Brian has consolidated his lands already and a question arises, where does all the gold from taxes and trade go?"

Sir Thomas leans back and fingers the golden chain that fastens the heavy cloak on his shoulders. "Ireland has no right to any land outside their own island. Desires such as this set you a dangerous path. In any event, we wish for trade with Ireland and our Western ports are ready to open up. Let us sign a ceasefire and begin healing old wounds. As for the quelling of the Welsh rebellion, my master even now rides to battle whilst the so called Welsh King runs before him and robs innocent peasants and craftsmen. His head shall grace the top of a pike within the year."

The gold goes to making our land a prosperous and modern one of course.

And by modern you of course mean you are building forges and training grounds, siege workshops and jousting rings. We shall send a diplomat to your island as soon as we can spare the boat. He shall witness your prosperity first hand.

Excellent. although at this point we are more concerned with farming and building trade.

The Welsh diplomat approaches the English representative.

My liege wishes to bring an end to this destructive war. He was enraged to hear that his brother Dafyd fell outside Caernarvon, and drove off your king and his son from their siege of Gloucester.

The young Prince Edward has fled into a castle with a few men, which my liege has promptly laid siege to. He wishes a ceasefire to be concluded so that he is not forced to end Edward's life.

He has sent terms to the King at Shrewsbury(in-game message).

The Englishman salutes his colleague and nods. "Yes sire, indeed I have heard. King Henry has sent word of thine liege's prowess on the battlefield. He has replied wtih our terms, and ye must remember that the moral law is on our side, as Wales was the initiator of this agression. Ireland offered us peace and peace they reveived, but you offered us sword and axe, and have been repaid in kind.

My King also wishes to point out that whilst we have lösot some minor provinces to thine nimble troops, Caernarvon is ours and a third of thine force faces the gallows should you continue this war. King Llywelyn might be the fiercest general since William the Bastard but he can do little without troops to command. If prince Edward is lost to us, there shall be no further diplomacy utnill either Engalnd or Wales is no more."

Admiral Niels is near Dumfries but we see it is currently under Norwegian control. Please inform us of a settlement that he may sail to to establish an Irish outpost no the mainland of Britain.
