WAR! King Frederick II has decreed that the Burgundians must be oppressed by their cruel overlordship of most of France, and this is the moment we strike.
Absolutely nobody fails to notice that Burgundy, after almost ten years of war with Bohemia, has no troops and no fleet to speak of.

We put pressure on their vassal and their capital.

Takes them a while to get their armies transported from colonies, despite Royal Navy's efforts to patrol the Atlantic.
Still, we manage to destroy these, as Netherlands and Brittany continue to occupy their colonies and French possessions!

The war is going so bad for the Burgundy that Granada, a kingdom they ruled in personal union for last 120 years or so, broke away.
We have no ill with the Umayyads, so we agreed to white pace, as seen above.

Little Frederick dies, but his father is above worldly desires. Using his influence as Supreme Governor of Church of Britain, he marries a local noblewoman in sanctioned marriage.
The new heir, William, is prophesied to be a great diplomat, and not much else.

A financial disaster looms, but the British Treasury is able to spend money on averting it.

Accursed Catholics! It's the work of the Pope, I can bet on it!
The war has left our Armies depleted as of late and we cannot have Antwerpen looted, or worse, sacked by rebels. We have to swallow the bitter pill of disgrace and meet with the Catholics at negotiation table instead.

Assassins? Papal curse? Weak seed? Who knows!
Another of Frederick's sons is dead and he is infuriated because he is ruling for thirty-some years and has no-one of his own to inherit the throne.

The British tire of war, and so does Frederick. He has settled on peace that fragments the French possessions of Burgundy.
Furthermore, Namur will be married, influenced and vassalized.

I very much dislike bastards

Our navies will blockade their ports and force them to sign white peace!

Any heir is better than no heir (and Netherlands received a monetary apology).
Hopefully, Plantagenet dynasty will continue on.
