What happens
It appears that tensions are still running high among the Saxon and Thuringian nobility following the war between Friedrich and Wilhelm. A knight, Kunz von Kauffungen, who fought on Friedrich's side but was financially ruined by the conflict, has banded together with several disaffected Thuringian knights and hatched a plan to take the our ruler's sons hostage to gain leverage for blackmail. They were able to seize the princes but were apprehended as they sought to cross the border, with the princes returned to our capital safely. How should we deal with the traitors?
