I am failing to see the point in all this. I used an in game mechanic to stimulate the game for all involved. Apparently the ability to move a duchy needs to be eliminated.
A far as evidence, plenty has been put forward that will either be used or ignored as one sees fit.
The FR was a shell of its original creation and there was internal strife between its ruling elite, some more prevelant than others.
Do what you will, i'm basically done with this discussion.
