Press
Normans – Pisa: I withdraw and recognize your claim.
Normans – Pope: South, young man, South!
Pisa – Pope: It seems that Normans and Bizantines made a strong pact to come North against us, as we could see in Spoleto and Sardinia; Rome itself is under siege soon, so I think that we must cooperate against them. When possible, I shall support you in Bologna from Modena and you should do the same. I confirm that I will not prove to take any your cities, and hope that you will do the same: ENEMY ARE SURROUNDING US, thus we must combat them together and not one another.
Pisa – HRE: You should defend yourself from Venice, and instead attack me? Are you crazy? I attack you so: cui prodest?
Notes
