Miller Number 2007Apw10
Deadline/Summer 1052 6/10 Tuesday
The Normans and Muslims go on a borrowing spree with the Normans buying off the last Muslim unit, and the Muslims banking the ducats. Venice looks to be squeezed between empires (the Byzantine and the Holy Roman). The Pope moves out to the north and the south while Florence edges to the west.
Expenditures
The Muslims borrow 19 ducats for 2 years (29 ducats due Spring 1054)
The Normans borrow 25 ducats for 2 years (38 ducats due Spring 1054), buy Muslim fleet Western Mediterranean for 21 ducats, and counter bribe fleet Tyrrhenian Sea for 6 ducats.
Outstanding Loans
Spring 1053: 9 ducats due from the Muslims (6 borrowed)
Fall 1053: 14 ducats from Pisa (9 borrowed), 18 ducats from Byzantines (12 borrowed)
Spring 1054: 29 ducats due from the Muslims (19 borrowed), 38 ducats due from the Normans (25 borrowed)

Muslims – All: Insh'Allah, I deserve my fate.
Papacy – Heretics: The Holy Father's offer of acceptance into the Holy Church by renouncing your heathen ways goes unanswered and now a Holy War has broken out. It's decreed by his Eminence that the Byzantines & Muslims are now enemies of the Church. Any Christian Noble who aids these Heretics will be excommunicated from the Holy Church. It is the duty of all Christian Nobles to liberate all Cities & Provinces held by these heathens.
Pisa – Byzantines: It was good to hear from you, glad you now have my correct e-mail. Hope your actions against Venice continue good for you. Let me know what else is going on.
