    If anyone more challenges the claim of my brother, Holy Roman Emperor Siegfried von Kastilien, to the throne, they will have to deal with me personally, as well as the Franconian Household Army.

    an aide to Jan von Hamburg stands up and addresses Ansehelm.

    Respectfully my steward, I do not see how you have the authority to ban Jan von Hamburg from the Diet. Only the Emperor can do that. This matter is between Arnold and Jan. It was Duke Arnold that tried to bring you into this on his behalf. Jan never tried to get others to handle his conflicts and has always handled this by himself. So, to be clear, Jan von Hamburg respectfully disagrees with your order concerning the Diet and will not obey it.

    Thank you and have a good day.

    Conrad Salier:

    Too much has happened recently to continue to discuss matters like good Christians and honorable men. I suggest that everyone head back to their posts and wait for orders from the new Kaiser or the Chancellor. Hopefully everything will have cooled down enough in 1260 to resume a more civilized discussion.

    I also hereby swear my allegiance and fealty to Kaiser Siegfried. My Lord, Outremer is yours to command.

    Considering the exhaustion of our esteemed diet members, I shall then refrain from calling for an emergency session but remind that this matter shall be resolved at the next full session.

    I mean no disrespect to the Franconians, but there are some rather serious doubts remaining about the truthfulness of the word and letter elevating young Siegfried to this position.

    Trust me, Count Hans, this is quite a shock to my brothers Ansehelm and Fritz, and myself. I only hope our father does not have a heart attack when he hears the news about little Siegfried! We did not have any plots, backroom dealings, or secret shady plans to elevate him to the throne of the most Holy and Indomitable Roman Empire. I swear on the Pope's @#$ that I know no more than you do regarding these shocking turn of events.

    I too am somewhat surprised by the Kaiser's choice of successor. Siegfried while noone can doubt his devotion to the empire has not been as experienced as other potential candidates. While I do not wish the draw to conclusions quickly, I dont not think pure intentions are at work here.

    Us Swabians have held the Kaisers for as long as anyone can remember and while I do not wish do implicate others in nefarious actions, one can only think of what has happened these past few years among the other Houses. I personally have not been kept up to date of the newcomers as well as the politics in the Diet and the other prominent members of Swabia have rarely been active here for the past couple of years.

    I too am not capricious and hope for this proposal to be approved. During the next diet, all 4 Dukes and a 5th member yet to be determined shall form a council and examine the events that have led to Kaiser Jobst's death as well as the chosen heir to the throne. A vote shall occur afterwards among the 5 members which shall determine the legitamacy of Siegfried's claims

    Well what do you suggest, Duke Scherer? Have an "Acting Kaiser" for a couple years while Siegfried ages? Depose him altogether? Why is it so difficult for Swabians to accept Kaiser Jobst's choice? There are multiple eyewitnesses who saw von Salza give the throne to Kaiser Siegfried! I think it is just sour grapes for the throne being passed on out of the Swabian household. I say so now as God as my witness - Jobst von Salza was the last good Swabian, perhaps barring Prinz Elberhard.
