Louis III, the Elector Count Palatine of the Rhine, is a forward thinking political planner. In addition to recently joining the Parakeet society (a league against Louis the Bearded, Duke of Bavaria) and forming close links with the new Burgundian Duke, Philip the Good, he has sponsored the formation of several mercenary companies under the leadership of his bastard son, Sir Henry of Koln. These companies act to provide regular skilled forces to support the Elector's activities against his enemies and lessen his reliance on the Swiss for regular infantry.
