Your Majesty,
With the unpleasant time of my father's death behind me, I am now ready to serve as diplomat to Your Highness. I feel like if I have dealt with all the problems posed by my succession. As I had to speak with the Greeks in these affairs, I am also proposing my services as Representative to Byzantium. They have a difficult time against the rebels despite their new status within the realm, and desperately need some help, it seems, or our protection of the Greeks will cost us too much. Not willing to put my military education to waste, I could at least teach them to better adapt themselves to modern warfare.
Your humble servant,
Vincenzo Castelozzi, Duke of Trinacria and Count of Palermo
((Let me explain why I don't think it to be cheesy. Peasant War shows us that the King does not do what his people want, normaly probably decentralization, but wealth surely is another demand. If we give in to their demands, they don't feel as unfairly treatened. Surely, we could start a war without having to bother about the disaster that way, but developement increases aren't quite the least expensive things on earth.))The Satisfactory of Peasants Act
As long as a Peasant War is on the horizon, all forts have to be manned. If affordable, Base Tax should be risen to show the peasants that the King still cares about them and their families.
((For every increase in Base Tax in Iberia, the progress of the disaster loses 15%))

embargo against our rivals
General Ordinance of 1507
I. All baptisms and burials shall be recorded by the officiating priest. These acts must be signed by notaries.
II. That official documents are clear and understandable, and so there is no reason to doubt about the meaning of those documents, we want and order that they be made and written so clearly in the common Aragonese tongue that there can be no ambiguity or uncertainty, no reason to ask for an explanation.
The Disaster Prevention Act
As long as there is a disaster on the horizon, every fort in the country has to be manned.
Your Majesty,
As Court Chaplin I feel that using our influence in the College of Cardinals to increase our chances of becoming the Curia Controller should be our top priority ((so really no change here)), however I would like to propose that during times of war, if Your Majesty and the Court agree, that we instead use our political capital within the College to levy additional church taxes or to gain the Pope's support by declaring a holy war to assist the war effort.
God Bless the King,
Cardinal Abate
Court Chaplin
Archbishop of Palermo
((You have to choose between Cagliari or Sassari; you can't have both. I'll have to wait for your official bio before adding your new character though, since I can't add a character without a birth year.))
(( Could I please have Sassari? The title has been vacant for awhile and there are plenty of other bishoprics that are more interesting that people can choose from. I just like the idea of all of Sardinia as one Archbishopric like in history, at least for awhile. Sorry to keep on asking.))
((Just saying, I cannot access the docs file for that bachelor(ette) thing. :/))
I would like to change my plan. Cease trading (embargo) with some of our enemies/rivals (specifically targeted at Castile and Venice).
