Milan has been retaken. Due to the sorry state of the treasury and the dire need of reinforcements in Bavaria and other areas, I ordered a mandatory tax on all residents of the city to help pay for repairs and their future defense. Unfortunately, some resisted, no doubt Byzantine collaborators to the last man, and forceful appropriations were required. Some 5500 florins have been added to the Treasury. My advisors assure me the the civilian casualties were not worth counting. Hans von Bavaria acquitted himself admirably in the battle and he is hereby knighted for his service to Bavaria.
