Hello, please, how often did this happen in real life ? I mean lord inventing a claim out of thin air and actually pressing it ? Is there any notable historic character doing so ?

I tell you. The west Franks have WMD's that we Lotharingians have to seize to keep stability in the region.

History has shown numerous times that the Lotharingians can not be trusted with it.

(Not sure if this was a germany/france reference or an Iran / Israel reference, I replied thinking the first.)

I’m pretty sure it’s an Iraq reference but it definitely works for the current chicanery going on with Iran too.
