Royal Parliament

[Warluster]

William, am I deceived, but from what I see, you are scrabbling for a alliance with France for love.

I shall not support that petition, but I shall support Robert's Petition.

[gibsonsg91921]

I second the petition by William Rufus, as Constance will bring many new children into the family.

[Csargo]

I second the petition put forward by Robert.

Petition:Take the settlement of York.

Taking York would be a good endeavor for many reasons. It will stop the Scots from moving south, it could be used as a forward base against the Scots or attacking Dublin. There are many good reasons for taking York.

I second the Petition by (Ichigo). I also hope that William Rufus's petition is granted, as Constance is a true beauty and will bless our royal family with many new children (OOC: and avatars). I would rephrase the petition to specifically state marriage alliance - our sister Cecilia can easily negotiate such a settlement.

[Ignoramus]

I, too, second the good baron's proposal. This would, however, require the assent of Parliament, for we are at peace with the rebels and traitors.

I furthermore encourage this House to be liberal in their voting of taxes to my father, the King. The realm is not yet so secure as to render further florins unneccessary.

[gibsonsg91921]

Petition by Robert: I believe that the realm should be governed by an average, normal tax rate.

Father, regarding crown lands, William Rufus is to be Count of Nottingham and I Count of Caen, correct? Rufus is already a Prince, but I must be made a Count to fight.
