Agenda - The Act of Accord

 

A critical point in the protracted Wars of the Roses and one of the rare occasions in parliament wherein members of the House of York and House of Lancaster both formally recognized each other’s attendance, this committee will allow delegates to shape what is likely to be the future of England. King Edward III’s death in 1377 left British nobility with the question of appointing a legitimate successor. A broadly confusing family tree left the throne in the hands of ten-year-old Richard II, followed by a series of usurpations. Delegates will be tasked with negotiating the positions of both, the House of York and the House of Lancaster, and arrive at a verdict, allowing Parliament to pass an Act of Accord.

Please Note - This committee will be a 'constant crisis committee'.
