Christian Meeting of Buteridava (The Ashes of Rome Map Game)

The Christian Meeting of Buteridava was a meeting organized by the Consul Galindus Aric of the Gepid Republic, with both leaders of the nations in war with the Gothic Empire. It was an attempt by the Consul to coordonate the two nations into a single Christian Force against the Gothic Empire and to help the formation of a Papal State.

Proposal of Galindus Aric

 * 1) The two rulers, instead of fighting on their own, will fight together as a united christian force. King Peter I is recommanded for the role of leader of this force. However, Leo III will still remain independent when the two army are separated. This part can be deleted on Byzantine demand.
 * 2) Should Italy be conquered, it will be devided under a specific pattern, which include main control of the northern region by the Franks, return of Sicily to the Byzantines, and the creation of the a Papal State in Rome, which will depend of both Frankish Kingdom and Byzantine Empire.
 * 3) Should Rome not be conquered, ithe Frankish will give part of their italian territories to the Pope so a papal state could be created.ItalyBlankMap.jpg
 * 4) The Gepid Republic, although neutral in the conflict, will provide troops on the form of mercenaries to the two rulers, as many Gepids want to fight for this war. The Byzantine mercenary force will be lead by the Consul's son, Vithimiris Aric, and the Frankish mercenary force by Hermenigild Valomer.
 * 5) After the creation of the Papal State, a COuncil will be held by the newly restored Pope on the statue of Christianity in Europe, to which every christian ruler shall be invited.
 * 6) Any conquest out of Italy shall go to the conquerer.
