Description

The monopoly on positions of authority by those born in Geldern, many of whom abused their positions for personal profit, has become a source of resentment in the remainder of the low countries. Demands for power to be devolved to the cities were presented by the burghers of Amsterdam, Haarlem and Delft. Most of the remaining cities outside Geldern and some of the rural nobility soon signed up to this League of Holland. We have two courses of action to choose between. Firstly, we could replace some of our officials with wavering individuals from within the League, thus dividing the League, removing one of their key grievances and cleansing our bureaucracy of graft. Alternatively, we might have to accede to the League's demand to share power.
