Fellow Kings, I have been deeply touched by the support I have received. I must admit, since it was the Danish King himself who announced the "Charter of the Alliance" I was fearful that his attack would not be dondemned by the other members. However, it has become obvious that this Alliance is no friend to those who would attack and betray an ally to fulfill his greed. I am humbled by the chivalry shown by the Kings present these past few days.

To my French ally, I will gladly accept your aid in freeing Britain or any other lands of mine invaded, however I know that you have had internal troubles of late and would ask that you not overstretch yourself.

To the Kaiser, your offer of help overwhelms me. I would not ask you to war against a King with whom you have so recently signed an alliance, unless you feel his traitorous actions have nullified the agreement.

To the others who have offered support to me in this time of crisis, I offer my thanks. It will not be forgotten.

I do not plan on starting a war with Denmark, though I will think over the alliance and decide if it is in the best interest of my people to keep it. If you need any more florins to support your war effort, other than what we have already agreed upon, you need only ask.

I intend to register my disapproval by withdrawing my nation from the Coalition immediately, and withdrawing my agents from Danish territory as soon as possible. I have aided the Danes in the name of cooperation amongst Catholics, but I am ashamed to say it appears my aid has led only to more war. No Catholic nation need fear Poland's armies for so long as I rule, but neither will any further aid flow to the Danes.

May God bring justice to this situation, it is beyond my means to do so.

To Holy Roman Empire and Kingdom of Poland,

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Do you prefer to support the heathen King of Scotland? Do you prefer to support the man who had led his subjects to God's fury? The excommunicated? It is your choice of course, if you want to support this enemy of the God. I have talked with the Holy Father, and he agreed to support Denmark to carry this chivalrous mission in order to cleanse Scotland from the filth and sinful beasts. In fact, as his show of gratitude, he agreed to form a coalition with us and give us a territory.

King Wladyslaw, you might withdraw your agents as you wish. Denmark has already trained its own agents to ensure the security of its borders. I know you have urgent need somewhere else, and we thank you for your generosity.

The Danish representative then draws his ancient sword and stares at the French representative, slowly walking in a circular pattern around the Frenchman, closing him

Frenchman...

Don't make embarrassment out of yourself. When you talk about cowardly act, it was clear by sending assassins to do dirty work, while at the same time the King of France and many of his servants hide behind the castle wall, only come out to kill the weaks. Surely you have realized that these act by Frenchmen are nothing more than act of cowards, cowards at their worst.

When the Danish representative got within several footsteps away from the French representative, he swiftly approached the Frenchman with the edge of his sword pointing close on the Frenchman's neck.

Those who lives by the sword shall die by the sword...
So be it! We the descendants of Vikings do not fear death. Death is on the hand of the mighty Lord, and not some coward like you. Countless enemy have fallen before us, so I suggest, that you think carefully about what you say.

The Danish representative pulls his sword and put it back on his shoulder, he slowly walks back to his bench

Noble Lords of the Council I have been deeply troubled by the events of the last few years. Since the destruction of that building at the Danes' capital it seems as though all of Europe is spinning out of control. I have been praying for guidance, and I believe I have found Poland's answer.

As I have vowed, so shall it be, no Polish armies will march into foreign lands except by invitation for mutual defense. Not so long as I, Wladyslaw, still reign!

Nor shall Poland supply any support to Catholic nations that war on other Catholics. No matter that the Scots are excommunicated, that is a difficulty between her King and the Pope, the good Catholic people of Scotland should not be conquered on those grounds. If the Pope felt Scotland as a whole required punishment he would ask for a crusade, which he has not done.

With that in mind, Poland is forced to withdraw from her alliance with the Danes. I have offered you a small island in a far off land as compensation King Knud, and I wish to personally assure you there there is no hostile intent behind this declaration.

Unless an explanation for their war with the Hungarians is forthcoming Poland will also be forced to withdraw from her alliance with the French. We are deeply grateful for the territory you have granted us, but I must stand on my honor first. If you wish those lands returned to you that will be arranged forthwith, though I am likely to lose control of Rhodes rather quickly.

It is my deepest wish to see Catholics everywhere living in peace with one another and not subject to war or oppression. I cannot set armies to march on those grounds, but I can and will rescind alliance agreements on those grounds, and any peaceful Catholic who asks for Polish troops to enter their lands and aid in their defense will be granted those rights, to the extent such is possible. Obviously I cannot aid Scotland as we share no border, nor military access, nor an alliance, and King Malcom is excommunicated. Nonetheless if Danish aggression should continue the armies of Poland will stand with the Kaiser, should they be invited into his lands, and will aid him in the defense of his cities.

God grant us all peace!

King Roger, King Wladyslaw,

For years now, I have been reviled in France's name as a power-hungry and untrustworthy neighbour...

So much so that I felt it was time to prove to the whole known world how generous and peaceful France can be...

Some of you can testify to that already...

France is now only a minor faction in terms of lands, enough for our simple needs... We had over-extended and thus needed to recenter ourselves on the essentials, that being folowing the word of God...

While doing so, we gifted lands to the Hungarians in search of a peace-spreading alliance but in doing so, we had not counted on the King of Hungary inability to provide for a garrison for the city of Thessalonica...

We feared that the city left to its own devices would declare its independence, something we could not allow... Our forces retook the city and led to a misunderstanding with the Hungarians (OOC : if only we could reload...) who saw this as a declaration of war...

Know I perfectly understand your stance in regards to our alliances but I wish you will reconsider now that you can see that France is no longer a threat to any of its neighbours (whose number has been greatly reduced by the way...)

Finally, we have turned on the path of peace but for one thing that remains for us to do : punish the Danes for their unwarranted attack on our common Scottish ally...

We hope none of the Lords will stand in the way of that long overdue punishment...

King Philippe of Paris, Caen, Toulouse and Thessalonica, once called Greater France.

**Ramses II CP** · 03-18-2008, 17:58

So if I am to understand the war with Hungary properly, you surrendered Thessalonica to Hungarian control. Their King then declined to provide a garrison for that city, which caused you to immediately retake it... to try to keep order?

The city is far from Hungary's borders, so it should come as no surprise that the Hungarians could not march an army there immediately. In any event, though it seems most strange, I am willing to accept that this is a sad misunderstanding. If you can secure a ceasefire with the Hungarians and there are no further conflicts I will not feel obligated to dissolve our alliance.

I will discuss the matter with the Hungarians at my first opportunity. I pray that God looks more kindly on your people during this period of consolidation.

King Wladyslaw
