Receiving Exiled Princes

• Provide generous gifts and housing
• Offer marriage alliance with noble family
• Supply military equipment and resources
• Maintain long-term support

Basic Courtesy (For Neutral Parties)

• Provide food and shelter
• Offer safe passage through territory
• Avoid formal alliances

Refusal (For Political Risks)

• Deny entry politely
• Explain political constraints
• Suggest alternative destinations

Warning Signs

• If prince has reputation for poor judgment
• If supporting him creates enemy of powerful state
• If his advisors are known troublemakers

Expected Outcome

Calculated hospitality that maximizes future political benefit while minimizing current risk.

Verification

1. Confirm that the prince's legitimacy of claim and quality of accompanying advisors have been assessed before committing to a response tier.
2. Validate that the political implications with the prince's home state have been evaluated, including risk of provoking the current ruler.
3. Check that the chosen response level (full hospitality, basic courtesy, or refusal) matches the assessed risk-benefit balance.
