SELECTED

Jean de Montfort

primary

A man in his late 40s, with a sturdy build and a face weathered by years of campaigning. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, and his piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and wariness. A prominent scar runs along his left cheekbone, a souvenir from past battles.

Charles V

primary

A man in his late twenties, with a lean but regal build, sharp facial features, and piercing blue eyes that convey both intelligence and authority. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, and he sports a well-groomed beard, a sign of his royal status.

Breton Scribe

secondary

A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp features and ink-stained fingers. His keen eyes are framed by wire-rimmed spectacles, a rare luxury that speaks to his importance in the ducal household. His posture is slightly hunched from years of bending over manuscripts.

French Scribe

secondary

A lean, middle-aged man with sharp features, a neatly trimmed beard, and keen eyes that dart between his parchment and the proceedings. His hands are stained with ink, a testament to his profession, and he wears a pair of small, round spectacles perched on his nose.

Breton Guard Captain

background

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped dark brown hair, and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes constantly scan the room, and a faint scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles. His muscular frame is evident even beneath his armor, and his stance exudes disciplined readiness.

French Herald

secondary

A tall, lean man in his late 30s with a sharp, angular face and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, and he sports a well-groomed beard. His posture is upright, exuding confidence and authority.

Dialog

Charles V By the grace of God and the ancient customs of our realms, we propose this treaty shall bind our houses in perpetual peace—provided Brittany acknowledges its fealty to the French crown in matters of war.

Jean de Montfort Fealty in war, you say? Yet the customs of our ancestors grant Brittany the right to raise its own banners without foreign summons. This passage—

Breton Scribe (murmurs in Breton) My lord, the Latin here uses 'auxilium'—aid, not submission. A careful distinction.

French Herald Let it be recorded that the Duke of Brittany retains the right to defend his lands, yet in campaigns against common foes, his knights shall ride under the oriflamme of France.

Jean de Montfort Under Breton commanders, and with Breton silver funding no more than a third of such campaigns. Let that be writ large, lest future generations forget the terms.

Charles V A compromise worthy of Solomon. Yet consider, cousin—would not a united front against the English serve us both better than quibbling over percentages?

Breton Scribe (clears throat) My lords, the ink dries. Shall I amend 'third' to 'portion commensurate with Breton interests'?
