A messenger arrive from Muscovy... he has a very sad look on his face.

" These are the words from Vasily I:

We don't surrender to heretics, we surrender to a nation who has a better army, and who's ready to let our country some freedom. Yes, we will be vassals... but what can we do... We have no army, and nothing to defend... Nizghorod is destroyed... and volgoda is now at the end of the horde... "

A letter from the Preceptor of Italy, Peter de Monte, from the Grand Priory at Rome.

"To the most christian Doge of Venice, Francesco Foscari, greetings.

I am concerned. Daily now while walking about the city of Rome, I see the poor begging for food, for life. I am but one man, I have but one house with which to shelter them, one table at which to feed them. They relied, through the years, on the charity of our Mother Church in Rome. She looked out for her people in their time of need and opened her treasury for them.

But now the poor recieve nothing, because you have stolen it from them.

The Church heeded your call for aid, as the Church aids all those who ask. She does not judge those who ask. But I will. You, Venice, the richest state in Europe, did take money from the Church. I cannot begin to express my disgust.

Return the money to Rome immediately, and your greed may be forgotten."

A message arrives for the King bearing the seal of the House of Hohenzollern of Brandenburg.

To our beloved cousin, Vaclav de Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, from Friedrich von Hohenzollern, Elector and Margrave of Brandenburg, greetings:

Our recent attentions have been so turned toward the affairs in France and Helvetia, and with the affairs of the Diet now sitting, that we have neglected our duty to our neighbor and dear cousin. Your niece, Elisabeth, daughter of my brother Johann and your sister, Margarete, sends you greetings and kindly love as she is now dwelling in our household at Tangermunde. As well the Margravine Elisabeth sends greetings to her dear cousin, Elisabeth, Queen of Bohemia.

We wish to affirm our long friendship as wars are beheld by us to our west and to our distant east and to our south. Ever we seek peace and prosperity within this glorious empire and we trust that you remain as devoted to the glory of the Holy Roman Empire as we.

Seek our counsel at your need, and our aid in an honorable cause, noble highness.

Given at Tangermunde,
Friedrich I von Hohenzollern, Kurfurst und Markgraf von Brandenburg

A letter from the Preceptor of Castile-Portugal, Antonio Grugno, from the Priory at Alcazar de San Juan.

"To his most noble and Christian Majesty, Joao I, greetings.

I have been requested to ask of you an update on your war against the infidel in North Africa. It is our hope that your inevitable victory will turn the tide against the infidel and drive them once and for all out of the Mediterranean."

A weathered Bishop, looking tired from his long journey, enters, accompanied by two Premonstratensian canons. He kneels before the Holy Father.


Holy Father, long have I journeyed to obey your summons as presented to me by the Elector of Brandenburg, he having received them from his legate at the Imperial Diet. I am Martinus Ruesch, Bishop of Havelberg, and close in the counsels of the Elector of Brandenburg and thus chosen by him to attend your court.

Alas, no clergy of Brandenburg are of the cardinalate and thus I kneel before you.

I am your humble servant, Holy Father.


The Bishop presents a letter bearing the seal of Brandenburg.


Holy Father,

I beseech you as your most humble son to accept the Bishop of Havelberg as our representative and servant before you. Of the all of the Bishops of my lands, Martinus of Havelberg and Stephan of Brandenburg are among my close advisors. In the elevation of a cleric of Brandenburg to the cardinalate, I would most humbly beg you consider this man, Martinus of Havelberg, as he is both a holy and devout man and a trusted counsel to me.

We beseech all the saints and pray constantly for your welfare, Holy Father.

Friedrich von Hohenzollern

A message arrived from Poland with the seal of the King.

Doge John I Grimaldi enters the Papal court, in the sacks and rags of one who is repenting. He bows before the Pope, face to the floor as he awaits the Pope's approval to speak. Once the Pope gives him approval, John I rises enough to kiss the Papal ring, then looks to the floor and speaks to the Pope.

"Your most holiness,

I beg your forgiveness, for I have sinned. The war with the Mamelukes was and is a just war, called for by God, but my intentions were not pure, which is why Genoa was stricken by God's punishment. I have prayed to God for forgiveness, Cardinal De'Guidici has prayed for Genoa as have every bishop, parish-priest and clergy-man and women in all of Liguria's possessions. Now God has begun to bless Genoa as our intentions turn from greed to self-preservation and freedom of the Christians throughout the Holy lands and the lands of Africa. Genoa has now been ascertained of victory by God, so I have come here to request your blessing as the Genovese crusaders march to the holy land to vanquish the armies of Satan.

I know it is not my place to question your decrees, but I must request to know further on one of your decrees. You stated that trade with the heathens was allowed, if it preserved our country. For every ducat that enters the Christian pocket from spice or silk, a ducat enters the pocket of the heathen. The heathens are soldiers of satan, and satan will not allow resources to stand idle, he will use them against christiandom. We have already seen Satan at work in his heathen soldiers. The Eastern Romans have turned on our Venetian brothers in an attempt to aid the heathen turks. The massive heathen armies now turn on our prodigal child in the north and victory is growing closer for the Hordes of Satan. Even now, though, I see division in Satan's army, a sign that God is truly with Genoa this time, as we have repented of our sins. The heathens march against themselves. This sign, along with the peace between Genoa and the Romans, show that God has now allowed Genoa to bring victory and now is the time where we shall finally free the holy lands from Satan's grip."

John I moves closer to the Pope and whispers into his ear. (pm)

After he is finished, he awaits the Pope's response, while he places his face back to the floor.

A messenger in the livery of Brandenburg arrives for the King.

Noble King of Hungary, your grace, I am Freiherr Marhold von Spandau. My lord sends you greetings and a message and bids await your reply.

Freiherr Marhold hands the King a letter, bearing the seal of the Chancellor of Brandenburg.

To his grace and royal highness, Sigismond de Luxembourg, King of Hungary, greetings from the Elector and Margrave of Brandenburg, Friedrich von Hohenzollern.

The Mark of Brandenburg stands ready to give to our dear cousin all aid against the ungrateful and dishonorable rebels who strive against their rightful lord in Hungary. In whatsoever way we may, shall we render you support and aid.

Rothard Tegen, Chancellor of the Mark of Brandenburg

Also in the bundle is a personal letter:

Cher oncle,

Most hearty greetings to my well-beloved uncle. I pray for your safety and commend you to the care of the Blessed Virgin, our Lady. Of my noble uncle of Brandenburg I may say to you that his desire for your success is most sincere. The noble lords and knights of Brandenburg do often besmirch those ignoble rebels, for can any man debase himself more lowly than the man who breaks his bounden duty and oath to his liege.

Again I send you all love and good thoughts, with prayers for your safety and success in your most righteous cause.

Elisabeth von Wurttemburg

A letter arrives from Sweden, and the Union Counsel

Sweden wishes to point out, that the offer which was given to the Burgundian merchants in belief they were Swedish, also reached our ears, and that the offer was indeed declined. For know that Sweden is not interested in taking part of treacherous plots, nor are we interested in damaging our relations with our esteemed trading partners Burgundy and England.

An envoy arrives from Novgorod and delivers a message:
"Dear Grandmaster, we accept your apology and we accept the idea of formal talks between us in lands controlled by the Teutonic order. However we don't like to be accused of having turncoat-policies since the angry letter Sëmen sent to you was written just because he felt insulted especially since we were accused of doing nothing in our holy crusade when many, many brave men already had died on the battlefields in the east. We can continue to write insulting and angry to each other if that's what you wish, but we suggest that we all bury the hatchet for now. The real enemy is not on the other side of Ilmen it's the infidels in the east."

A messanger arrives with a wet and worn letter.
"Dear ruler over Wallachia! This reply to your generous offer may come a little late but it's dangerous to travel through Europe now. What we just want to say is that all help against the Tatars is most welcome especially from the brave soldiers of the Wallachian army."

 

[TomHas]

...and in this same year, following the battle and Margrave Bernhards death many signs of misfortune were seen in the lands of Baden. A comet crossed the country from the west to the east, near the city of Pforzheim a pig with three heads was born and in the village of Haslach a women gave life to a child that was covered with fur...

 

[TomHas]

Bishop Ulrich of Konstanz asks for permission to speak, after this is accepted he kisses the papal fishermanring and begins:

Your Holiness, I want to speak here on behalf of Margrave Jakob of Baden, who is a pious servant of the holy mother church and the protector of our bishopric of Konstanz.
Jakob sent message to me, that he is impressed by the christian benevolence and friendship the most noble and honourable Duke of Burgundy is showing to him and fully accepts his demands for a reparation of 2000 ducats.
Margrave Jakob also welcomes the noble offer of Duke Philipp to protect him against the Helvetians, if they should seek revenge.
He has been furthermore happy to hear that the Duke of Burgundy is giving him the honour of granting him the hand of one of his sisters.

I may express my certainty here, that the most worthy Duke Philipp will honour the dignity of his noble sister and of such a noble marriage with the most generous dowry.
This well known generosity of noble Duke Philipp makes me sure that he will show his generosity, fraternal love and favour to his sister by granting her the lands of Alsace as a dowry and I humbly beg his Holiness to support this noble sign of the Duke.

I may also speak here on behalf of myself. Consulting the registers of Vatican, I've been happy to see, that his Holiness is regarding me with favour. But I have to add that I'm not a cardinal and just a simple Bishop, who has been - and I am sure that his Holiness remembers this - elected by a synod that has assembled in Speyer to cast his vote in the Holy synod on behalf of the yet vacant bishopric of Mainz.
If in the meantime his Holiness decided in his wisdom to promote me I haven't been informed yet.

 

[Martinus]

Cardinal Odo chuckles lightly:

"Now, now, my good bishop, let us not speak about things that are impossible, shall we? I am sure His Holiness is as overjoyed as I am with the acceptance of the peace offer by the noble Margrave of Baden.

Alas, the County of Alsace is an indivisible heritage of His Grace the good Duke of Burgundy, and as such may not be granted as dowry. I trust the pious Margrave of Baden will understand that.

I pray one of the fair sisters of the good Duke will find the Margrave's peaceful heart and reasonable mind to be virtues most valued in a future husband, and not be discouraged from the holy matrimony by him paying greater attention to the dowry rather than her person."

A letter arrives.

"Your holyness. We are most troubled about Christianity.
We have seen that Christians rule Muslim land, without converting the heathens to the true faith. We have seen leaders whom are for an uniting of the most holy church and the god forsaken church of the Orthodox faith.
So we kindly ask you to consider the effects. And to follow the will of God Almighty.
The Orthodox are the minor servants of Satan, while the Muslim is the elite guard of Lucifer.
Their faith will be dissolved once they see the true light and join the one and true holy church.
If the holy church decides to become united with the Orthodox. Then we all have disobeyed the will of God. And will be subject of the wrath of God. Sic transit gloria mundi.(Thus passes the glory of the old world). And then the new world will be a world with sinner and murderes. As the wise prophet Jesaya once wrote about how the world would be if we united with the heathens.

Ah, sinful nation, a people laden
with iniquity, offspring of evildoers,
sons who deal corruptly! They have
forsaken the LORD, they have despised
the Holy One of Israel, they are
utterly estranged.

Your country lies desolate, your
cities are burned with fire; in your
very presence aliens devour your land;
it is desolate, as overthrown by aliens.

With theese guiding words i hope you will see what is right, and what is wrong.
Pax Vobiscum
Signed
Michael von Sternburg

And will try to uphold friendly relations with your.. Nation.
