Dialog
Maximilian I
By the grace of God and the will of the Electors, this crown is mine. Let no man question its weight.
Bishop of Trento
Most august Caesar... the Holy See may yet seek clarification on this... unorthodox coronation.
Italian noble
How curious that the German eagle nests in Trento rather than Rome...
Maximilian I

Bishop of Trento

Italian noble

Maximilian I
