[Welf von Luxemburg:]
Esteemed Chancellor,
With the aid of men from what was formerly the Prinz's army and the local militia, I have driven off the Poles advancing on our capital.
The men acclaim it as a heroic victory, although I fear they are an excitable lot.
My retinue performed admirably - by my reckoning, they accounted for more than half of the enemy's losses. They are as young and inexperienced as I, but have learnt much from their first taste of war.
I humbly petition the Chancellor to knight me for this victory, so that I may serve Swabia as one of her loyal generals.
We captured 216 prisoners, but they were nearly all commoners. The Polish Guard and Strzelcy died almost to a man. Out of pity for the poorly led common soldiers, and respect for the few surviving Polish Guard, I released the prisoners. They have left for Breslau.
I have returned to Nuremburg and given provisional orders for the local militia to be retrained, although you are free to countermand that. Their losses were modest, so the retraining is more to equip them with the leather armour now available from the tanner that the late Kaiser ordered to be built.
My Lord, you inquired as to my House - by marrying Eue, late daughter of Kaiser Elberhard, I was fortunate enough to be admitted into the noble House of Swabia. My reporting to duty in Nuremburg was merely fortuitous - as the Kaiser was passing through the province, Eue's mother, the Empress Dowager Linyeve, thought the capital the most fitting location for our wedding. The Poles were unwanted guests.
Your loyal servant,
Welf von Luxemburg
