The Pacta Conventa and the Henrician Articles
Our new New ruler has just received his/her title but the Nobility will not wait for another day and are already pressuring him/her into signing broad privileges that will make them immune to central power. Their power is so overwhelming that we have only the most extreme actions left to defend the Ruler Title from their predations.

889historical_info = flavor_pol.11.historical_info In 1572 the Jagiellon Dynasty was extinct and a new king was to be elected. His name was Henri d'Anjou. On his election, he was forced to sign what was later been called the Henrician Articles, which rectified that Poland was an elective monarchy from then on. He also signed the Pacta Conventa, which was a formal contract between the elected monarch and the Sejm. In practice, the monarch lost all power over his country. He had no power over governmental officials and he had a mere 3000 men strong Royal Army. To get anything extra he had to plead with the Sejm for permission. At this moment Poland effectively stopped being a monarchy, as the monarch was a mere figurehead, and instead a true Noble Republic.
