Proclamation from the King of France

               

After careful considerations, I have decided I will not participate to this election and instead back his majesty the King of England Henry VIII

             

King Henry VIII is by far much more qualified than the Habsburg candidate who hasn’t reached adulthood yet. The Holy Roman Empire needs an emperor qualified given all the troubles they are facing. Electing a child, and who is landless, will instead be incapable of maintaining peace inside the Holy Roman Empire. The Archduke of Austria literally proclaimed that his goal will be to find a suitable realm for his brother should he be elected. As he’s not ready to renounce to any of his possessions, that means one thing : starting a war to get an additional territory for the Habsburgs.

           

Furthermore, King Henry VIII has proved himself to be a careful diplomat and has negotiated with the Kingdom of France this agreement below suitable to both of the Kingdoms, something a 15 years old wouldn’t be able to do.

Proclamation from the King of France on Pope Leo X

It is with great sadness that I heard about the passing of Pope Leo X, a man dedicated to the well being of the church. Sadly, I'm deeply persuaded that his Holiness has been murdered . Leo X's health deteriorating suddenly isn't a coincidence. The King of France will conduct an investigation on this matter and hopefully the truth will be revealed.

I rise today to commemorate his legacy. The King of France openly proclaims his support on the Pope's last actions regarding the indulgences and Martin Luther , who should be heard. The King of France is now openly favourable for the hosting of a general council of the Church.

As for the question of the Crusade, I believe that Leo X's main goal was to improve the well being of the christians in this area. With all due respect, I believe some other ways than a crusade would be used to achieve this goal.

In catholic brotherhood,
King Francis

Albrecht von Hohenzollern, Grandmaster of the Teutonic Order

On the passing of Pope Leo X, it has reached the knowledge of the Teutonic Order that a new Pope must be selected to replace him. As such, we support Cardinal Albert of Brandenburg, the Elector of Mainz, to replace Pope Leo X as Albert is a wise and respectable cardinal who will continue the legacy of Pope Leo X. On the idea of the pope being murdered, while there is no evidence of foul play for now, it is the idea of the grandmaster that all servants of the Pope in his final day of life are questioned extensively in order for the truth of a murder, if it did happen, to be out and for the culprits to be caught and dealt with effectively.

Grand Maester,
What is your opinion about the indulgences?
