*A representative of the Count of Nuremburg stands.*

The Duke of Swabia's actions are an outrage to this Diet! They are made all the more insensible as he could have freely marched on Marseilles, if he so wished. His complaints about a lack of advance on the French are preposterous given this Diet's direct authorization of action against that city!

Duke Hümmel must be restrained immediately, in one manner or another! If the Chancellor cannot exercise his power over this betrayal of the Reich, I demand that the Kaiser call an Emergency Diet session, so that we can strip the Duke of Swabia of his army until such a time as he has repented for his treachery or died of old age!
