Game State
Catastrophe Conditions exist until 1458, Turn 4.
Round 2 - 1456
Turn 4 - Tenné to play
Deadline: 2.00pm 4 September.
Event Draw: Northern Pretender -

This Event introduces a Pretender to the throne in Wakefield and is played immediately. The Pretender has a troop strength of 50 and will join the Faction drawing the event UNLESS that Faction has a Royal Heir under its control.
- If the Pretender joins the Faction, the Faction may use it as a Noble but can also crown the Pretender if the Pretender takes control of London, as with normal Coronation Rules. If this happens, the Pretender has the same voting rights as a King from either Lancaster or York. However, a Pretender can never win the game for a Faction. If the Faction captures a Royal Heir then the Royal Heir cannot be crowned King whilst the Pretender is King. A Pretender can be executed as in normal circumstances, whether King or not.
- If the Pretender does not join the Faction, the GM will move the Pretender towards London at a reduced rate of three spaces per turn, always at the beginning of the turn of the Faction that drew the event. If the Pretender reaches London he will enter London if London is neutral. Otherwise, he will lay siege to it; normal rules for besieging a location are brought into play. If the Pretender enters London, however, the citizens and garrison of London will support the Pretender. All troops granted by any title, office or bishopric in London are cancelled whilst the Pretender is in play. A neutral Pretender may not be captured and will be executed if London is captured by another Faction.
