This Court is Opened

Adolf II invites you all in for many issues are at hand. Bring them to the Court of Kleves.

 

[Bagricula]

A letter arrives from Heidelburg, Rheinpfalz:

"Your Grace, Adolf the second, of Kleves,

Your man Frederich Leimesch would be well received in my master's house, and I look forward to his arrival. Currently, Count Frederick travels to visit his cousin in Prag, but I in his place would gladly receive your emissary.

The further cooperation and coordination of my master's archstewardship, the Duchy of Franconia, would be much improved by closer ties between our two lands. Afterall, are we not both good German Catholics?

Cordially,
Cornelius von Adler
First Minister of the Rhine"

Meanwhile within the city of Kleves...

A woman, of Flemish origin stayed in a large local noble's manor just outside the main city of Kleves for some days now. It is rumored that she is his mistress, but that does not explain all the children and addition of family she has with her, as well as a small retinue of guards.

In truth, she is of Flemish nobility, and related to the van der Hayle line of Brabant - yet this was all secret...

A diplomat has not arrived in Kleves for quite some time. Perhaps alliances are in need to become diplomatically powerful in the Empire.
