Prinz Henry speaks wisely, fellow Swabians. After the crisis of Italy has past, we must protect the western border of the Reich from the French. Our spies have reported that they have many men in mail and coif, and equally skilled as our own. We must be on the watch.

May I suggest that we seek to gain permission to seize Marseilles? Provence has always been part of the Reich until they defected to the French King. Perhaps they thought that puppet would be better equiped to protect them, I do not know. Anyway, it is a natural addition to Burgundy, and thus should be one of Swabia's goals in the future.
