    Dont attack the welsh u swines :( Were just a lowly rabble of bandits,
    Leave us alone
    I dont like this story now. :)

    Although Great naration has to be admitted,
    as stated above

    A: the fate of Baldwin de Redvers.
    1. Execute him.


    Rebel ring leaders should Always be delt with In this manner.


    B: the fate of the rebel prisoners.
    2. Pardon.

    showin compasion towards these men who were following orders may earn us their loyalty

    C: the disposal of the captured funds.
    3. Add it to the Royal Treasury, which is in bad need of funds and the mercenaries need paying


    If the mercenarys dont get payed then our forces will shurley become depleted.

    D: your next move.
    2.Send Ypres and Rougehavre..."can i do that?" Against the Scots. A victory against them would pacify this front for many years.


    So no need to attack poor old wales (my biast towards wales is probably clouding my judgment)

    3. set Sail for Normandy your self. Defeating Geoffrey of Anjou would negate Matilda’s chance of raising support in England.

    I feel we need to Crush this threat before it becomes a real problem.
    Also by going there in person our presence In normandy, will Surley cause rebelious talk to dwindle.

    Nahhh... Burn Wales!

    Concerning De Rougehavre I agree that he is either incompetent or against us. But sending him away might only make it worse. Given the resentment towards Ypres might given him the chance he wants. Kill Ypres and gain popularity of the nobles, settle with Geoffrey and now support Matilda. Great...

    Remember the saying "keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer". This is a case where it fits.

    If he is just incompetent he might destroy what chances Ypres has of handling the situation. If he is close to you he can serve as a nice bodyguard or a reserve. His strength in melee should not be ignored, and we need to play towards our strengths and in this case it would be that.

    My liege,

    Should your highness fail to provide us with the continuation of the story, we humble servants shall become determined to look to our own needs in our wicked way.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
