What happens
The knights of the Teutonic Order have sent a formal request to our court. They wish to seek Imperial Protection from Poland and Lithuania, and want to join the Empire until they are able to defeat the Poles.\nThe Order used to be quite popular amongst the North German dukes and counts when they were still on a crusade against the Baltic Pagans. However, their recent history of wars against Poland and an already Christianized Lithuania gave these knights a rather bad reputation. No longer are they fighting for the Holy See but for personal gains, and the counties bordering the Order fear aggression from the Order's side.\nWhile more members in the Empire is always a welcome sight, accepting the Order into the Empire - even if it is only temporarily - might make our ruler of our nation rather unpopular with the duchies which border this order.
