The Surrender of Maine

In exchange for accepting the treaty of Tours in 1444 the county of Maine was promised to France. In practice, however, this has still not come to pass. The English have repeatedly evaded the question and it is becoming increasingly clear that many in the English camp are arguing that the treaty will not be honored. In one last attempt to force the question our ruler has approached the county capital, Le Mans, himself and demanded the surrender of the city.\nThe local commander, however, shows no signs of intending to open the gates, despite not having a force strong enough to withstand an attack.
