Imperial Diet IV

**OverKnight** · 07-03-2007, 01:58

Matthias speaks:

Concerning the troops in Scotland and how to retrieve them, I assume they came with the purchased territories. Unless they are valuable in some way, instead of spending money to retrieve them, we could just disband them, and let the local levies return to their homes.

Sending ships will take time, and this is the best way to remove the troops quickly so as to not offend England.

Matthias looks at some reports and speaks again.

There appears to be a small army of rebels outside the gates of Florence. If I'm not taking ship immediately, I'd be happy to lead the garrison of Florence against them. I believe I am the closest noble not otherwise occupied.

I know I'm not a Knight, but a presence of a Bavarian noble might stiffen the resolve of the four Militia units and allow them to defeat the two units of Italian spearmen and one gaggle of peasants that would oppose us.

It is, of course, the Kaiser's decision.

It saddens me to hear that Ulrich Hümmel escaped the judgement imposed by this Assembly. I hope he has time to consider his deeds in Purgatory and I congratulate our Emperor Jobst on claiming Chancellorship, I have faith that he will manage to restore what Hümmel has destroyed and lead the Empire back on track.

My Kaiser,

Specific orders for House Austria are to follow soon. Please ensure all tax levels are immediately set to yellow or green levels in the mean time.

Duke Arnold

----------------------
Walking into the Diet Chamber, Duke Arnold is still clearly in his Field Armour, blood can be seen covering most of his arms and chest. There are numerous tears and indents in his mail and plate.

My Kaiser,

House Austria orders for the next year.

Myself, the AHA and Sigismund are to consolidate and move to join the expelled Budapest garrison. Then siege Budapest until maximum siege equipment is built and attack.

Lord Zirn is to consolidate with the younger Wolfgang Hummel and lead the army begin created to conduct the following action:

Wolfgang Hummel and 3 units of dismounted Knights and 2 catapaults, has moved not far from Adana, where a large army is being trained for Wolfgang, so he can take the settlement of Iconicum

All Austrian holdings must be set to yellow or green taxation levels.

Vienna
Prague
Zagreb
Venice
Budapest
Ragusa

Damascus

I would also like to ask how Lord Zirn can be given some permanent force in the East. He has been there since the 2nd Crusade and in my mind should be rewarded for his loyalty and service to the empire. As one of the senior Reich nobles in the east and the ONLY member of House Austria I would request some plan of how you wish to use his services in the future.

Duke Arnold

Conrad Salier:

With all due respect, Duke Arnold, I believe the orders you gave for the army in Outremer fall under my jurisdiction.

Apologies King Salier, it was not my intention to infringe upon your jurisdiction. Perhaps I can contact you directly for further requests, which is all wording was meant to be.

I thought this troop movement was now agreed and was simply repeating it for more clarity regarding Austrian Nobles and units they are leading.

Remember all, King Salier is the one you contact on anything with Outremer.

Matthias, you can not fight those rebels, as your ship shall be arriving soon. If you miss the ship, I'm afraid you have to stay in Italy.

DUke Arnold, if I am mistaken, isn't young Wolfgang Hummel Swabian? If not, someone please correct me.
