Cardinal Brothers and Sisters,

I take advantage of my visit to report on the general cacophony in the Kingdom of France and its state of civil war.

While two armies having been on Toulouse, wandered in the south west of France, today a Poitevine that I know well brought down the castle while the armies arrived in town to stand up to the Queen. This one imposed its people in Toulouse against the will of the local population.

Several provinces like Gascony or Languedoc officially protest against it, the movement is gaining momentum as it goes. The rebellious and autonomous province Anjou which is stuck to Poitou will bring troops to support the movement.

I therefore invite the Pontifical procession if it is in the area as well as the non-French-speaking prelates to leave the area, I can as Grand Duke of Brittany pick you up in the ports and bring you back to a safe place.

Know that the armies of the queen are on the teeth and on the way, the country will sink into a deep civil war.

----------------------------------

Frères et Soeurs Cardinaux,

Je profite de mon passage pour informer de la cacophonie générale dans le Royaume de France et son état de guerre civile.

Alors que deux armées ayant été sur Toulouse, vadrouillait dans le sud ouest de la France, aujourd'hui une Poitevine que je connais bien à fait tomber le chateau alors que les armées arrivaient en ville afin de tenir tête à la Reine. Celle-ci a imposé les siens à Toulouse contre la volontée de la population locale.

Plusieurs provinces comme la Gascogne ou le Languedoc protestent officiellement contre elle, le mouvement prend de l'ampleur au fur et à mesure. L'Anjou province rebelle et autonome qui est collé au Poitou va amener des troupes pour soutenir le mouvement.

J'invite donc le cortège Pontifical s'il est dans le coin ainsi que les prélats non francophones à quitter la zone, je peux en tant que Grand Duc de Bretagne venir vous chercher dans les ports et vous ramener en lieu sur.

Les armées de la reine sont en route et ça va virer en carnage.

Certainly, the situation in France is becoming turbulent in recent days due to the tyrannical decisions of the queen, but will there really be a civil war as the reign is coming to an end?

If you ignore the clashes in Toulouse, the royal armies will rush on Poitiers. I have rulers who openly tell me, as a foreign sovereign, that they no longer listen to the queen, see where we are.

I know I am asking for the impossible, but can I ask for a summary of the situation in France since the beginning of this crisis?
As I understand it, is this an autonomist revolt or are there religious instances that we must monitor?

I will try to summarize in a simple way, do not hesitate to ask me if necessary, the language barrier can alter understanding and I apologize for that.

We must go back to the beginning of her reign where she engaged in a war in Spain, her mismanagement produced a first fiasco which strongly marked her troops, I had, as Grand Duke, authorized a detachment to go and fight alongside her as well as my Navy continued the fight in the waters against the pirates.

The fiasco produced the return of some to their homes, notably in Toulouse.

During this same time, the conflict between Anjou and Brittany resumed, with Anjou gaining 5-star prestige. This led me to ally myself with Poitou d'Ancolie, Périgord and allies from many parts of France and the Royal Orders. With the Queen, I had agreed on a joint occupation of Angers after her fall.
We were in line with the current alliance which stipulates that we recognize Anjou as French territory and that France and Brittany undertake not to attack each other. Remember this point.

For weeks we prepared our troops for an assault, taking an Angevin town in the process for almost two months. We were waiting for the return of the Breton sailors, which became more than 30 people essential to the capture of Angers.

While not all of them had joined the armies, the Queen demanded the immediate attack on Angers or the end of mobilization, I was able to explain up and down that it was more prudent to barely wait for a week, but she limited herself and I agreed to give it a shot, which she thought was already safe.

Inevitably it was a fiasco, at best 17 people were missing, when she communicated, she said that she was arriving in Poitiers but would not go to Angers with her army because it was only a private war.

I explained to her that she was mistaken, on the one hand a private conflict with a foreign army on her soil it may be her business, then the Angevins are rebels against her power, not mine and that according to the treaty she was to put an end to the Angevin threat. This poor soul understood that I was asking for her ban to be lifted, which was never the case since I was asking at best that we be left with our last soldiers for a few days. Given the urgency, I explained to her that a simple passage of her army to Angers would unblock the situation, she refused and I asked her what interest did she have in keeping such a serious threat as Anjou?

And my brothers and sisters, I must tell you that I witnessed an incredible scene, yet I have a long experience of anger and crises here, but this day, I became aware of the nullity of the queen who is just a moron. It's raw, but it's true.

She ordered the departure of the Bretons and came to threaten us to attack Brittany while we were with her major state there to settle what was her problem.
We returned home and diplomacy with the Crown broke on my order, not with the French as we made friends by being reliable and loyal. Loyse was in this discussion, disgusted like the bulk of the troops. I had the pleasure of decorating it a few days ago.

So once the conflict was over, the queen went to Toulouse with her army plus the French of our armies, forced to follow her to bring down the castle, chose done but having put Toulouse on fire and bloodshed for months. The rebels fled, as far as Poitiers which Loyse gave to plunge into rebellion.

In the meantime, more than half of the provinces of southern France regularly ignore the Queen's decisions, on the religious level she is disavowed by many.

Je vais essayer de résumer de manière simple, n'hésitez pas à me demander si besoin, la barrière de la langue peut altérer la compréhension et je m'en excuse.

Il faut revenir au début de son règne ou elle s'est engagée dans une guerre en Espagne, sa mauvaise gestion a produit un premier fiasco qui a profondément marqué ses troupes, j'avais comme Grand Duc autorisé un détachement à aller combattre à ses cotés ainsi que ma Marine a continué la lutte dans les eaux contre les pirates.

Le fiasco a produit le retour de certains chez eux, notamment à Toulouse.

Pendant ce même moment, le conflit entre l'Anjou et la Bretagne a repris, avec pour l'Anjou un prestige à 5 étoiles. Cela m'a amené à m'allier avec le Poitou d'Ancolie, le Périgord et des alliés de bien des coins de la France et des Ordres Royaux. Avec la Reine, j'avais convenu d'une occupation commune d'Angers après sa chute.
Nous étions dans le prolongement de l'alliance actuelle qui stipule que nous reconnaissons l'Anjou comme territoire Français et que la France et la Bretagne s'engage à ne pas s'agresser. Retenez bien ce point.

Pendant des semaines, nous avons préparé nos troupes à un assaut, prenant au passage une ville Angevine pendant presque deux mois. Nous attendions le retour des marins Bretons, ce qui représentait plus de 30 personnes indispensables à la prise d'Angers.

Alors que tous n'avait pas intégré les armées, la Reine a demandé l'attaque immédiate d'Angers ou la fin de la mobilisation, j'ai pu expliquer en long en large qu'il était plus prudent d'attendre à peine une semaine, mais elle s'est bornée et j'ai accepté de tenter le coup qui était déjà sure selon elle.

Forcément ce fut un fiasco, il manquait au mieux 17 personnes, lorsqu'elle communiqua, elle dit qu'elle arrivait à Poitiers mais n'irait pas à Angers avec son armée car ça n'était qu'une guerre privée.

Je lui ai expliqué qu'elle se trompait, d'une part un conflit privé avec une armée étrangère sur son sol ça la regarde forcément, ensuite les angevins sont des rebelles contre son pouvoir, pas le mien et que selon le traité elle devait mettre fin à la menace Angevine. Cette pauvre âme a compris que je demandais la levée de son ban, ce qui n'a jamais été lé cas puisque je demandais au mieux qu'on nous laisse quelques jours nos derniers soldats. Vu l'urgence, je lui ai expliqué qu'un simple passage de son armée à Angers débloquerai la situation, elle a refusé et je lui ai demandé quel intérêt avait-elle à garder une menace aussi sérieuse que l'Anjou ?

Et la mes frères et soeurs, je dois vous dire que j'ai assisté à une scène incroyable, j'ai pourtant une longue expérience des colères et des crises ici, mais ce jour, j'ai pris conscience de la nullité de la reine qui n'est qu'une débile. C'est cru, mais c'est véridique.

Elle a ordonné le départ des Bretons et est venue nous menacer d'attaquer la Bretagne alors que nous étions avec son état major là pour régler ce qui était son problème.
Nous sommes rentrés chez nous et la diplomatie avec la Couronne s'est rompue sur mon ordre, pas avec les Français car nous nous sommes faits des amis en nous montrant fiable et loyaux. Loyse était dans cette discussion, dégouttée comme le gros des troupes. J'ai eu le plaisir de la décorer il y a quelques jours.

Donc une fois le conflit terminé, la reine est allée à Toulouse avec son armée plus les français de nos armées, obligées de la suivre pour faire tomber le chateau, chose faite mais en ayant mis Toulouse à feu et à sang pour des mois. Les rebelles se sont enfuis, jusqu'à Poitiers que Loyse a donné pour plonger dans la rébellion.

En attendant plus de la moitié des provinces du sud de la France font fi des décisions de la Reine régulièrement, sur le plan religieux elle est désavouée par beaucoup.

It's basically the story of the scorpion and the frog.
What a paucity of judgment and morals, it almost seems that she does it on purpose to sow discord.
Thanks for explaining yourself so clearly!

Thank you, a very clear explanation. It seems clear that the Queen's actions do not follow a logic and do not produce positive results for anyone.

It appears clearly that this queen, unblessed and bathed in heretical ideas, is leading her own kingdom to chaos and disruption only for her personal gains and to repay electoral favours.
Do not forget, brother Cathelineau, that the queen was elected only thanks to Angevine votes that were unusually not blocked. Do you think that this detail did not influence her decisions concerning Anjou?

Indeed Holy Father, it is possible that the Queen made an agreement with the Angevins, which explains her non-involvement with Anjou. Many of us think so, if not very sincerely why let a simple province with such a high prestige represent such a threat?

The contract had to be clear: the Queen does not touch Anjou which does not touch the Royal domain. This explains the chaos that reigns in the rest of France. Today the Queen signed an announcement saying she was condemned, we all know that, but for how many days or weeks? it's a good question.

I grant exile to our Poitevin friends who wish to leave the area during the fighting, I am in particular in contact with the Poutevin clergy who are evacuating the treasury of the diocese, we will probably send a ship for this, if the option is chosen by the clergy, does it receive your endorsement Holy Father ?

If I look at it from an earthly political point of view, I would be inclined to support the Queen of France. Because of the support it gave to the Iberian Alliance against Valencia, although it was repaid when the Catalan troops supported the rebels in the south.

On the other hand, in my role as cardinal and prince of the church, I must support those who rebel against the heretic queen.

However, I believe that the best thing we can do is to safeguard the treasures of the dioceses. And to maintain neutrality in this conflict, in order to maintain survival and to try to gain more of the faithful, is to think to make the best of the situation.

It is necessary to understand that the seculars do not rule like us, their rule is inherited like their ideology. Only the steady caving of the stone, is able to influence these things.

We should ask ourselves what we really can and want to do.

As always, this body will "surprise" me with a constructive NOTHING. As in the question of England, SRING and France and the east as well.

We must be grateful to our brother Cat for his excellent work in Brittany. My compliments, brother. Your path was the right path.

For everyone else, it's time doing homework and thinking about how you can and will respond to this huge potential conflict. I also see burgeoning friction with the SRING as a disastrous situation in Germany, which is on the verge of implosion.

Well - at least one can say it will be exciting.

Il y a quelques jours une armée Poitevine dirigée par un ami Xavix est arrivée se réfugier à Rieux. Aujourd’hui je lui ai accordé notre agrément avec l’aval de la Reine qui nous a longtemps critiqué et menacé.

Cet acte me semblait naturel pour nos amis et donnera à réfléchir à la Couronne, car si la Reine trépasse, ses conseillers eux n’oublieront pas.

La situation à Poitiers est compliquée et nécessite 250 soldats au moins pour libérer la ville. Donc je crois que cela va durer un long moment, il est préférable de ne pas se diriger dans la région.

Je vous remercie pour vos mots Frère Kalixtus, il n’est pas aisé de mener la barque, mais je dois dire que ma formation religieuse est un précieux atout pour dompter la nature humaine.

A few days ago a Poitevine army led by a friend Xavix arrived to take refuge in Rieux. Today I granted him our approval with the endorsement of the Queen who has long criticized and threatened us.

This act seemed natural to me for our friends and will give the Crown food for thought, because if the Queen passes away, her advisers will not forget.

The situation in Poitiers is complicated and requires at least 250 soldiers to liberate the city. So I think it will last a long time, it is best not to head into the area.

Thank you for your words Brother Kalixtus, it is not easy to lead the boat, but I must say that my religious training is a precious asset in taming human nature.
