Chapter 23: Letter writing (1)

<<"A letter always seemed to me like immortality because it is the mind alone without corporeal friend.">>

― Emily Dickinson

Conradin was ecstatic about his first falconry adventure, and he found himself wanting more. He began to consider all of the possibilities that could exist within this pastime, and he was anxious to learn how it could be a beneficial and gratifying endeavor. He was also inspired to name his falcon after the Greek mythological hunter Orion, a name that perfectly suited the falcon\'s powers and would undoubtedly serve as a source of inspiration and drive as Conradin trained and honed his skills with his new partner. He could feel a new enthusiasm rising within him as he began to investigate the possibilities.

He was aware that he would need to devote a significant amount of time and attention to educating the bird, but he was eager to make that investment and form a bond with such a magnificent creature. He was aware that there would be difficulties, but he was prepared for them and confident in his abilities to train and master the art of falconry.

Unfortunately, he couldn\'t keep playing with his falcon because his duties awaited him, so he returned to his castle after thanking the noble envoy for the well-liked gift.

He walked into his personal room, once inside he got both ink and feather since he needed to write a letter. He began writing as soon as he opened his scroll.

* to Frederick Margrave of Baden, my dearest companion

Greetings Friend, I pray God and trinity to bless you with good health and riches. In my situation, I am optimistic that they did; I was able to recruit an ally out of northern Italy as well as the funds needed to meet my campaign expenses.

I couldn\'t help but fantasize about the renown and glory that await my entourage, and as a result, I can\'t help but invite you, my dear friend, to join me on such an event, since I promise you enormous wealth and land if you join me on my holy mission.

I\'d be overjoyed if my loving friend and I fought shoulder to shoulder, giving our strikes to the threacherous French. I hope you will join me soon, but if you are unable to do so, please know that you will always be in my thoughts. If you respond positively, I want you to know that the campaign to Italy will begin in March of next year, giving you 4 months to decide whether or not to join me.

Sincerely, your companion.

Conradin of the Hohenstaufen House*

After finishing one letter, he opened another scroll to write another, this time to his uncle Ludovico of Baveria, who had protected him in his court while he was young. He was his uncle from the maternal side as such he was not part of his house making Conradin the last male member of his dynasty.

* In memory of my lovely uncle, Duke Ludovico II of Bavaria

Greetings, Uncle I pray that only wonderful things come your way in life, and that God rewards you with excellent health.

I\'m writing to ask for your support in my next campaign, as I really need the help of my closest friends and family right now. I beg you to not relinquish me , for blood is thicker than anything on hearth.

The campaign is now scheduled to begin in March of next year, and my first step will be to build influence in northern Italy in order to get as much support as I need to fight Charles.

I close this letter with tremendous optimism, expecting that your response would be fruitful taking into account our family ties.

Your dear nephew

Conradin of the House of Hohenstaufen*

Conradin sighed as he concluded these two letters, hoping that both his uncle Ludovico and beloved friend Frederick would join him in his campaign, for what he needs most are talented commanders and men.

He realized that the success of his campaign would be dependent on having a strong and trustworthy core of supporters, so he sent out these letters, hoping for the best.

He hoped they would regard his cause as noble and deserving of their support, and that they would place their trust in him as their leader.

Conradin was filled with restlessness and anxiety as he awaited responses to his messages. He was certain that his cause was good and worthy, and he was certain that his allies would see the value in assisting him and his heroic crusade. He was excited to see what their reactions would be, and hoped they would be positive.

He understood that he would need their help to win, and he was determined to ensure that they would give him their complete devotion. He was convinced that he and his supporters would be able to overcome the obstacles ahead and win a great victory.
