Treaty of Gwaskogn & Red Saint Knights

Diplomatic action

In an effort to pressure Philip IV, Edward signs the Treaty of Gwaskogn, aligning Britannia with the Templars. Though the treaty was public, Edward is wary of openly confronting Francia. Instead, he forms the Red Saint Knights, a contingent of able bodied lesser nobles and tradesmen, who join the conflict as an unaffiliated fighting force.   The treaty gives the Britannians a fortified foothold on the continent and they immediately send supplies and weaponry along with the Saints as the Francian assault on La Rochelle subsequently stalls.
