(My first version of this was much nicer and wordier, but it got eaten. So apologies for being short.) (Message sent to arrive in Rome on 8th of March) To Pope Alexander VI from his Majesty the Sultan Muhammad XII, Lord of Andalus. During our recent lawful and glorious reconquest of Andalus several noted enemies of ours escaped. Word has it that these criminals are sheltering under your protection. As you are a man of God, we will give you the benefit of the doubt. However, we must now insist that the following people and all their retainers be presented to us, as they are criminals and traitors. - Duke Pedro of Galicia. - Duke Cortez of Navarre. - Count Eston of Pamplona. And especially the so called 'King of Aragon' and 'Queen of Castile' Ferdinando and Isabella. Signed in the name of his Majesty by Vizier Keman. |

What would be their "crimes"? Traitors? They were the rulers of a land that you had forced out. Besides you had taken over Iberia long ago and these people are only the heirs of their royal houses. We will not hand over anyone for they are now under the protection of the Papal States. - Pope Alexander VI |

Sweyn, by the grace of God, King of Denmark, England, Norway, Sweden and Iceland, Grand Duce of Finland, Duke of Estonia etc., rightful Emperor and always August, to the Muhammad, Lord of Andalus and also to the all enemies of the Holly Faith; and rulers of Christendom to know: We thought we ought to tell you, Muhammad, Lord of Infidels that no children of Holly Church, faithful to Our Lord Jesus Christ, will stand aside hearing your demands to Holly See of Apostle Peter. With this actions you risk to draw upon yourself rightful wrath of all Christians. Only words of Our Lord telling us to love our enemies saves you and your kin from rightful destruction. We watched how you and your mohametonian forefathers enslaved our brothers and sisters in Christ and spread pagan darkness in Hispania, once enlightened by Faith in our Savior. I Sweyn, by the grace of God inheritor of the Imperial crown and thus voice of Christendom, do say unto thee: take back your unholy demands as all Christians will stand together to defend our brothers and rightful rulers of Hispania. We warn you Muhammad: yours outrageous actions against Holly Church and her children's shall not be forgotten or left unpunished. Given in Jelling Anno Domini MD |

To Pope Alexander VI: Pope Alexander VI, we need to think towards the future. If we appease the Muslims now, they may be a help to us later. Think about the Kingdom of France. If it is overtaken by Muslims, do we want them to already have a level of hostility towards us? I think not. If some insignificant counts and barons are wanted as war criminals by them, and this can prevent a war for now, then let's hand over the accused criminals. Perhaps, you could also gain something in return. Before you simply refuse to hand over the men, please think about the negative effects it will have on our Empires. Signed, King Ferdinand the I of the German Empire |

To Pope Alexander VI, As the inheritor of the Rashidun Caliphate and thus the voice of Islam I implore you to see the light of reason and hand over the traitorous criminals to Andalusian custody immediately. I encourage you as leader of your faith to choose the path of peace and ignore the uncouth belligerents in your faith and listen to your brothers in Germany for indeed you must consider the negative impacts of such a decision for these men are criminals against our faith. Furthermore Spanish nobles that were righteously driven from their former lands by the Andalus have orchestrated great catastrophes upon the people of Crete, unspeakable acts upon Muslims and Christians alike. Atrocities that have not been condemned by your church or any other infidel nation, so I have taken it upon myself to free the people of Crete. Know that the Azraq Caliphate will stand with our Andalusian brothers and all Muslims against all enemies of the True Faith, and that your continued refusal constitutes an affront to The Ummah itself. -His Majesty Caliph Ismail II al-Rashidun "The Righteous" Amir al-Mu'minin "Commander of the Believers" |
