    the House of Guise, the "Council of Trent" was convened in 1562 in preparation for bringing peace to France. Ferrante also
    intended for the Council to weaken the power of Rome in France, using the Cardianl of Lorraine to launch "an attempt to
    decentralize the papacy, to confer autonomy on local Bishops and to restore the Ecclesiastical heirarchy to what it had been
    in Merovingian times". (Bk-1, 157)
* Grand Master Ferrante gave Francois, Duke of Guise, covert aid to seize the throne. (bk-2, 106)
