Writs of Attendance
Haying decided to call a Parliament,
the Faction must first serve a Writ of
Attendance on a Noble in one of the
other Factions. You are asked to select
which Noble receives a Writ from a list
in the Information Box of all the Nobles
in play. Use the scroll buttons to move
through the list, and click on the
selected Noble. Naturally, the computer
handles this choice automatically for
its factions. You are told if one of your
Nobles is selected.
Each Faction which possesses Writs
of Attendance is then asked if they
too wish to serve these on Nobles in
other Factions. If your Faction holds
any additional Writs, you will be asked
if you wish to play them. Either select
Nobles from the list, or select Cancel.
All Nobles summoned to Parliament
by a Writ must attend.
Voluntary Attendance
Finally, each Faction is asked if any
of their Nobles attend Parliament vol-
untarily.
Nobles cannot be summoned or vol-
unteer to attend if they are in a
besieged City or Town. Nor can they
attend if they are in Calais or some
other location separated from mainland
Britain by the sea, unless the Faction
they are part of controls a Ship with
sufficient capacity to transport the
Noble and his followers.
Those Nobles who grace Parliament
with their presence then make their
way there, regardless of normal Move-
ment rules and without Combat.
Attending Parliament
Once Parliament has assembled, the
Faction which summoned it is entitled
to reallocate Titles or Offices which
have been placed in Chancery.
One Title or Office can be reallocated
for each Noble attending Parliament
(assuming there are sufficient in
Chancery).
