SKNES: Architecture of Aggression

We were at war since you conquered the lands of Visigothic Spain, rightful inheritance of the Visigothic House Reginald. The Emperor saw it wise to end fears of a renewed invastion with direct diplomatic contact.
 
again, i ask, WHAT PEACE TREATY! All Castile said is that it is ending fears of bad relationships between our 2 countries, no treaty was signed! There were no conditions, no if this and thats, nothing!
 
*hits face repeatedly until I get a headache*
Okay if France says so...just watch your back, that's all.
 
MUSLIM! IT IS A TREATY OF PEACE; THAT IS WHAT IS ANNOUNCED.

A treaty of peace is a treaty of peace, is a peace treay is a treaty of peace of peace treaty.

THAT IS WHAT IT IS.

Then again, give yourself a concussion. It will make it easier for people to conquer you.

If you break the peace signed without even waiting 25 years of signing, may God help me.
 
CHRISTIAN! IF I SIGNED IT, IT WAS WITH THE FRANKISH EMPIRE BEFORE HE JOINED THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. BEING A MEMBER OF THE HRE MAKES THAT TREATY WORTH NOTHING!
The pope is the leader of the HRE, so he leads you. Any war within any place of the HRE is a war on the Pope, not the leader of that land.
 
As I have foreseen, as god have said, the small mishap have been fixed. Soon I will coronate king Clovis III as emperor of the Catholic world. The first one at that. The Catholic Union will be formed of all the Catholic nations and Italy, the Papal states remaining a free state with the Pope at its head. Tithes to the Pope will be organized and the Empire will be organized by its members.

A Lord's treaty is Law for his vassals. All the members of the HRE serve with and under the Frankish Empire (IIRC). Therefore, war with any member would be war with the entire thing, which would break your treaty since the Frankish Empire is part of the entire thing.
 
No, just logical.

You signed a peace treaty with the Frankish Empire. The Emperor is soveriegn over the Franks and the lands of the Dukes of Aquitaine, because they are the vassals of the Emperor.

Now the Emperor, the same person, and the same throne, has all of catholic Christiandom under it. Therefore your treaty would obviously through his person reach all of catholic christiandom who are under him, the same way that it reached Aquitaine who was under him.

By your admission of defeat, you have accepted this fact.

EDIT: So... I guess my untrained legal advisors beat your university trained ones. What are universities good for, anyway?
 
1) A state of war is an absense of peace.
2) A state of war does not end until a peace treaty. Cease fires, ceased hostilities ect still mean that a state of war is between two states.
3) A state of peace is an absense of war.
4) A state of peace is not ended until a declareation of war OR an act of war. An act of peace does not end War, but an Act of War does end peace.

1) Muslims invaded Visigothic Spain. THAT IS AN ACT OF WAR.
2) Muslims conquered Visigothic Spain. THAT IS AN ACT OF WAR.
3) Muslims invaded Aquitaine. THAT IS AN ACT OF WAR.
4) Muslims were defeated at Tours. THAT IS AN ACT OF WAR.
5) Muslims were pushed behind the Pyrenees. THAT IS AN ACT OF WAR.
6) Ceasefire between Barcelona and Aquitaine. THAT IS AN ACT OF PEACE; WAR STILL continues.
7) SINCE THERE NEVER WAS A PEACE TREATY, WE WERE ALWAYS AT WAR.
8) Castile signed a Peace treaty. This OFFICIALLY ended the STATE OF WAR between the FRANKS and the CASTILIANS.
9) A STATE OF WAR still exists between Barcelona and Badajoz with the states of the Franks.
10) As per ceasefire, Barcelona would declare consideration to ignore the ceasefire before resumption of hostilities.
11) Badajoz has no such obligation.
12) As per peace treaty, Castile would need to justify the need to absolve such a treaty, and not just mere declaration of its malintent, before resuming with a declaration of war.
13) You guys and your universities, but you still don't know international law.
 
No. A state of war is when hostile acts are occurring on a regular basis, not the 'absence of peace'. Otherwise, you may say that Rome was at war with every single barbarian tribe since the Gauls - there was always an 'absence of peace'.
No hostile acts have been observed between Frankland and the Andalusians since Tours. Thus, there is no war.

On the contrary. I would say the reconquest of Aquitaine, subjugation of Visigothic christians south of the Pyrenees, and constant border skirmishes disprove this fact.

Then again, Aquitainians look to roman law.
 
The reconquest was 110 years ago. The Visigothic Christians were never part of Aquitaine or Frankland, and at no point swore fealty to the Franks, and no border skirmishes have come to anyone's awareness. None of these constitute a war.

LIES, YOU INFIDEL! Visigothic Spain is the rightful inheritance of the House Reginald, STOLEN from us by your conquest! It is only our desire for peace for those who survived that we do not continue to prosecute the war, and have accepted the peace treaty our Lord has signed! It is only our desire for this peace that Castile blatantly flaunts as illegitimate that we do not desire RECONQUISTA.

EVERY ACT that the House Reginald made after the Reconquista of Aquitaine was designed to counter further Moorish attacks! The Book of the Lord! The Forts of the Pyrenees! Our armies stand guard at the ready to repel your numberless hordes year after year that we see milling below our mountain fasts! We embraced the Pagan, so at least they may watch the pass with us! We have embraced the Basque, so that they may watch the pass with us. There wass no war? THERE WAS NO WAR? More like our actions have prevented further success of the invaders.

There was a peace treaty. There was a cease fire. From THIS point on, there is no more war in the Pyrenees. From THIS point on do we finally take a breath, and look to the future beyond our lost lands. Do not tempt me, oh Vandal, or you, oh Castile. If I have to act on my own, without any Christian Aid, With God as my Witness, I will ensure that this peace, if there is to be a peace is kept, will be total and wholehearted. And that a war, if there is to be a war, will result in the Reconquiesta of all of Visigothic Spain, nothing more or less!

If the peace is kept, I will ensure it with my own pen that it will be total, whole hearted peace.
