Chancery
Titles and Offices appear in
Chancery through one of two methods.
(a) Some Factions may not be able to
allocate all the Assets they begin
the game with (because they did
not have enough Nobles). The
excess is placed in Chancery.
(b) Any Offices or separate Titles held
by a Noble killed through Plague,
Battle or execution are placed in
Chancery.
Not all Titles can be separated from
their Nobles, even by death. Some
Nobles have a Title permanently asso-
ciated with them. If they are killed,
and their Heir appears later in the
game, the Heir automatically has the
Title.
Summoning Parliament
Parliament may be summoned dur-
ing the Parliament Phase of any Fac-
tion’s turn It is summoned in one of
two ways.
(a) If there is one Crowned King (or
Queen), the Faction controlling that
Royal Heir may call Parliament.
(b) If there is no Crowned King/Queen,
or if there are two, the Chancellor
can Summon Parliament. The Fac-
tion controlling the Chancellor must
also issue a Writ of Parliamentary
Summons (these are gained through
the Events Phase and stored among
the Faction’s secret Assets).
In either case, the King or Chancel-
lor must occupy a Town or City (exclud-
ing Calais or anywhere under siege),
and must also possess at least one Writ
of Attendance (likewise gained
through the Events Phase).
If all these conditions are met, the
Faction controlling the King or Chan-
cellor is told how many Assets are in
Chancery, and is offered the opportu-
nity to call Parliament.
