Summer 1466 Plague

Good year: No plague!

Press

Florence – Venice: The people of Florence ask for your gentle rulership.

France – Florence: It should be better that you made peace with Naples and collaborated against Venice.

France – Naples: As you was able to see in the income table, Venice took 48 ducats, while us two only about 34; moreover, he is going to conquer my Milan state (he needs only two provinces to go) and is the only that can take moneys from the moneylender. What are you waiting to join me and prove to stop him? Do you prefer to arrive the second one instead to prove to win or to have a draw? I am very puzzled.

France – Venice: It is very strange that Naples stays steady to see you win, very strange.

Naples – France: You've got to do better, not in the press area, but with your attacks. Florence & I are not going to join you, so just forget it.

Venice – Florence: Sorry to see you go.

Venice – Naples: I will respect your control of the seas and support you in conquering Florence. Don't let that Frenchman get any of the spoils.
