Harvey, you could be right. Or maybe its that the King of England and Scotland does so, rather than the Lord Protector.
However, I think it may be a more self-castigating flagellating approach: a English-French-Polish-Turkish draw. (Which would be ok by me.)
I mean His Most Catholic majesty helping the Turks into Rome - that must be more than 3 hail Marys and an Our Father. Excluding himself from the draw seems like the penance he wants.

I believe that Dirk's "hidden proposal" is the agreement that England takes the solo.

All in favor please submit your YES vote to Charles.
