Capítulo 289: Formation of the Iberian Union

While Granada was preparing for the inevitable war with its neighbors, the Iberian Catholic Monarchs had been summoned to a meeting at the Vatican. The Pope had purposely asked for their attendance, and as exceptional members of the faith, they had not disobeyed his commands. 

The Kings of Portugal, Castile, and Aragon were gathered in a room with the Pope. It had been some time since these men had been in the same room, and they had a feeling they knew what this was about.  As such, Pope Julius was the first to speak as he addressed the men who had gathered.

"My children, I must thank you for traveling all of this way to the Holy See, we find ourselves in grave times, and it is with a heavy heart that I must request something important of every one of you."
