I put forward an edict,
Edict (OOC-What one are we up to?) -We stregthen relations with the papal States through the options we have so far.

If we could improve our relationswe would be able to attack Catholic nations, not that I propose that.

Nameless elector from Austria stand up.

May I have your attention, fellow Furkurst and Caesar Meus et Augustus Meus.

Hands over a scroll (Edict 1.26)

it reads

In the event that an Imperial princess fails to secure a marriage and is disgraced, The Empire shall declare war on the ungrateful faction to whom the princess is eloped. This is not to recover the princess, but to teach the ungrateful faction a lesson. No faction shall kidnap our princess with impunity.

I await with anticipation your responses, my lords.

I do not like or dislike edict 1.26. I dislike it because we would be getting into wars a lot, money gone from the treasury!

I like it because it is a bad will if they decline us an treaty!

An entire war over a single woman? Need I remind you gentlemen that we are the true heirs of the Roman Empire. An Empire which was founded by those who fled Troy after its fall. Surely there is some lesson to be had in that.

I personally will not go to war soley for the sake of a woman, no matter how royal her blood may be! If there is a legitimate cause for the war, then it can stand on those grounds. If there is nothing but the woman's shame... well... let her come to my estate. I will comfort her! Mandorf laughs heartily.

The Third Elector of Bavaria speaks to the Diet:

I do not wish to add to the debate of which rebel lands we should conquer, but I do hope to clarify it. I will list all rebel lands we border, starting with Florence and moving clock-wise, whether they are Castles (C) or Towns (T), and which edicts, if any, call for their conquest.

Florence (T) 1.18
Bern (C) 1.13
Metz (C) 1.7,1.23
Antwerp (T) 1.8
Hamburg (C) 1.3
Magdeburg (C)
Breslau (T)
Prague (T) 1.5
Zagreb (T)

I hope this will aid the members of the Diet in their discussion and the Kaiser in his battle plans.
