The Triple Alliance

Berengar sat within the confines of the Granadan Royal Palace in a meeting with both Hasan and his older sister Yasmin; by their side was the commander of the Byzantine expeditionary force, which was none of the then Strategos Palladius. For the first time in history, the representatives of what would later become known as the Triple Alliance had gathered in a single room.

Their purpose was simple, to discuss the matters pertaining to the ongoing war in Iberia, as well as the request by the King of Aragon to cease hostilities against his realm. However, despite his willingness to end the war, Felipe had made some serious demands in order to ensure his surrender. With this in mind, Yasmin began to read the letter written by the Aragonese King, which outlined the conditions that must be agreed to for his Kingdom to surrender without incident.
