The following is (hopefully) a treaty with the Lutherans. Treaty of Metz. =========== 1. The Lutherans hereby cede to the French as set forth in this document to Francis I and his heirs in perpetuity, and his heirs, as of this day in 1553 the area known as the Lowlands, including Antwerp and the city of Metz. 2. In consideration, Francis I places the area known as the Holy Roman Empire, from France to Poland under French Proctectorate, an area which has been his by birthright as an heir of Charlemagne. An attack on Lutheran and Faithful Huguenots in this area is also considered to be attack on France and his August personnae of Francis I, 3. During the year of 1554. French and Lutheran forces are considered allied for purposes of this treaty. Both forces may stack next each other without imposing automatic combat. French forces may enter the Holy Roman Empire without a declaration of war. 4. France gifts the sum of 20 Ducats to the Lutherans. *England England will move this turn. England signs the following treaty (take note the language is written from the Lutheran POV, but rest assured, our Good King Edward's hand *IS* on the parchment...) "In consideration for help defending the German states against the Hapsburg empire, the Lutherans hereby enter into a treaty of mutual defense alliance with England. English forces may freely enter German states and enter zones of control of Lutheran Forces without penalty. Ostensibly with the intent of forcing back Hapsburg Armies from German states. If Lutheran forces by fortunate happenstance are also allied with French forces, this also constitutes a local Tripartite alliance thereby allowing English forces to enter French zones of control (in Germany) without penalty." *Lutherans Treaty of Metz. =========== 1.

John Calvin John Calvin (Luther is dead) also signs the below treaty with England. * * * "In consideration for help defending the German states against the Hapsburg empire, the Lutherans hereby enter into a treaty of mutual defense alliance with England.

An Army in Bremen shall appear. Two Armies shall appear in 2714. An Army in Augsburg shall appear. An Army shall appear in newly vacated 2912. Lutherans will move (and probably counterattack) this turn.
