Unto His Holiness Urban VI,
Unverisal Father of the True Church
Your Holiness,
I have all my life endeavored to serve God, and therefore in my piety have delivered unto you and the Church, and all Christiandom the County of Siena, once an unholy Republic, ruled not by the means God has meant through the feudal way, but through the error and corruptness of the people. I have brought the Republic under the control of the proper system, and now I deliver it unto you, most Holy Father, to be recognized as Count under the feudal sovereignty of none other than yourself. I place my sword to fight for only you, your Holiness.
I am your most faithful of servants, your Holiness, and I have no wanting other than to bring the true glory to the Universal Church of Rome. While Siena has been liberated from it's evil and corrupt Republican ways, there are many states bordering both your sovereign Papal lands and the County of Siena. I believe that these unlawful lands truly belong in the rightful possession of vassaldom under the Church of Rome, and restored to proper feudalism. I profess, your Holiness, that if you would in your wisdom name me Overlord of Tuscany, that I might endeavour, in the name of Rome to remove the filth of Republic control across all Tuscany and restore it to feudal rule, and then, under the vassaldom of the Holy and one true church.
The perversion of the corrupt rule of the people these states represent is an affront and offense to your Holy and Divine guidance in Italy, and I would be no prouder than to name myself your servant, and to restore these lands to the hedgemony of yourself, the Holy Father.
I ask for your wisdom in all matters,
~ Count Gerardindo da Lucari of Siena
Unto His Holiness Urban VI,
Unverisal Father of the True Church
Your Holiness,~ Gerardindo da Lucari
Indeed it is true that you are most kind and generous, for it is we who strive in Siena to be your Church's right arm, and I am thankful for what you will bestow upon me. Your most Christian generosity brings me great joy, and is an affirmation to me of my life's true mission; As a son of the Church and your most divine hedgemony over man, I will ensure that I shall strive to do everything in my powers under God to serve the interests of the true Universal Church and your Holiness, for I believe only through cooperation may I with my resources and the Papacy work together to bring the wretchid republics bordering our lands under the hedgemoney of my realm, to serve you, and to be placed fully under the vassaldom of your true Church. I am most honored that I shall be able to meet you, your Holiness.
I shall of course arrange a great welcoming, for I am sure in Siena the people will rejoice at the coming of your Holy eminence, and I would hope that you may use your wisdom and divine guidance to show me, in person, the true path to unite the lands under the Church, and God. For that is what I truly believe is what God intended for the Church in Italy, for as they said, the righteous shall inherit the Earth.
I most eagerly await your coming and wisdom in all matters,
Duke of Siena
Count of Cortona
The Church’s Overlord of all Tuscany

Holy Father, let me thank thee and tell you that I too as my predecessors am very grateful for what you and your predecessors have done for Sweden in recent times. The independence of the primate of Sweden issued by The Blessed Gregorius X being the perhaps most important one. I believe all these things are signs, your holiness, that something big will happen in Sweden in the near future. The symbolism from our Lord is sometimes easy to decipher, since the birth of Christ and the star of Betlehem God has used such symbolism to warn or inform us about his will. In fact, the night when I was appointed archbishop I and many people with me saw the stars shine brighter than usual which I do not think can be misinterpreted. God has something large in mind for Sweden in the future, and I as his loyal servant must help him in what he's doing.
Holy Father, I'm sad to inform you that the primate in Sweden was misruled during the years of Birger Gregersson, a name that doesn't deserve being latinized into Benedictus Gregorius for his misdeeds and deciet against God. For fifteen years the devil has been allowed to be active in the houses of God in Sweden, whispering unholy things in the ears of the priests and permeating our land with his evil teachings. His spirit has sweeped through the land like a disease spreading from parish to parish, and Your Holiness I think it is this the stars are trying to tell us. This is a new beginning for Sweden, where we finally will be able to live as loyal servants to God and benefit from what the Roman church has been trying to do for Sweden but sadly has been mismanaged.
Holy Father, I realize the church is holy and should not be changed, but when someone has changed it I believe it is God's will that it is restored to what it used to be. I take on myself during my time as Prima Suecia to restore the church of Sweden to what it was, and to show it the light again so that we can all live as we want following the teachings of Christ and as servants of Him.
Holy Father, I need help in this though. I am sadly not Christ, alone I cannot change the ill spirit of the land but with your help and blessing I can see that the teachings of God will reach every corner of this country and that the citizens of Sweden again will walk the path fo the rightous and faithful. What is listed below should not be seen as a list of needs, but as a list of what I wish would be done to help the restoration. I pray that God will help me and that Your Holiness will read this letter. Sweden is not worthy of your compassion, but we hope that You will see us where we stand and hlp us out of the darkness. I ask for only four things:
- The canonization of Birgitta Birgersdotter of Sweden to recognize her as the patron saint of Sweden so that I with her help as well as God's can succeed. Her life was only second to Christ in faithful, she's the founder of the Bridgetine Order and author of Revelationes coelestes which gives and account for her numerous revelations in life. She made numerous pilgrimages and lived in Rome to be near the pope from 1350 to her death in 1373.
- Your Holiness' blessing in my actions, to give them justification and acceptance among the nobles. I also wish Your Holiness could pray for me in my quest against the devil.
- Economic help, as unfortunate it is that religious means requires worldly resources. It is necessary, but the aim is good and even the single silver florine is appreciated up north where the church was poor before and now even poorer after having been exposed to the teachings of Satan.
- Your Holiness' forgiveness for us letting this unfaithful man ruling the church of Sweden for so long, without letting us see what was doing. We were lead up the garden path by the devilish servants of Satan, and without the forgiveness of God we will enter his realm.
Please let us make up for our sins, and let us again enter the path of the faithful

Pax Vobiscum,
Henricus Caroli, Episcopus Ubsaliensis, Prima Suecia
