My dear huskjarl,

I hereby assign you temporarily as jarl of Mecklenburg. Your task is to imprison the Irish knights present in Mecklenburg. The Irish knights are to be treated with respect and as our guests. Keep the Irish queen and her counts in separate rooms without the possibility to communicate with each other and without the possibility to communicate with the rest of the known world. The Irish queen should everyday be served her favourite tea.

Also note that the Saxony count, Abel Syarco, is our guest in Mecklenburg and is not to be imprisoned.

Respectfully,

Sigurd Haakonsson
Thane of Norway

My Thane, I followed your orders strictly. I have chosen good men for the guard. Everything is finished in your will.
Let's hope the Irish Queen will now understand that she can't destroy the Northmen root and branch. But as I heard she became mad long time ago, I'm not sure about it.

At your service,

Ubba
Huskjarl and temporary Jarl in Mecklenburg

I order you to abandon the shire of Mecklenburg at the earliest convenience. Make sure that the doors in the prison are left unlocked so the remaining prisoners may travel back to their homes. Also inform the prisoners that they will be released shortly and let them spend the remaining time in the company of each other. Also let them send letters to their homeland Ireland.

Your friend,

Sigurd Haakonsson
Thane of Norway

My Thane, I personally ensured that the guards left the jail cells unlocked after I had a look on the prisoners. They all have been alive when we left. Days ago we arrived in the danish shire Haithabu and now wait for your orders. In the meantime we will patrol the border to Saxony. Our scouts informed us about an army from Burgundy close by here.

I hope your journey to the north was a success.
