I left it unsaid, but in essence, not how it happened OTL. There's an initial attempt, but when that fails he washes his hands of the mess.

The problem with East Anglia is the East Anglians harharhar Just based on some quick musings: I think most of this is tied to Norwich specifically for what it's worth. I'm sure you could butterfly the Reformation or have it gain a more prominent role in the Hansa and remain prosperous from...
