Missions[edit | edit source]

Main article: Holy Roman Empire missions

Lorraine uses the missions for monarchies in the HRE.

As the new claimants to the Lotharingian crown, we draw our legitimacy by appealing to the legacy of Charlemagne and Lothair. Under our patronage, the exploits of our ancestors have once again become common knowledge, both among our own people and throughout the courts of Europe.
