page 21 Leo Frankowski's Lord Conrad's Lady propaganda in science fiction book 1990.

Page 21 describes Conrad as rather stupid when it comes to politics of medivael Poland or 1241 Poland.
Propaganda of Church to supress technology to maintain profits and a herditary monetary system Conrad was rather naive about it is true.
About all he might realy accomplish is equip an Irish Republican Army in Ireland in 1241so that when England later on sought to impose a Monarchist systemthe Time of Troubles would be enhanced or England defeatedin 1100's-1500's in efforts to impose monarchist system of herditary oenersgip of money.
Conrad trets character Francine like a pretty dimwit who needs to have a guard posted on her.
Francine being made aCuntess might of course not have Socialist ideas but not being always a Countess she might.
For sure arming The Peasantry and equipping with machine guns ,radios,flying machines and ideas of Marx would hav been diffucultbut Conrad was not even doing that but equipping feudal foeces with mmachine guns not good idea better socialist or Liberal ones.
Page 17 Francine schrmes to replace Cicilia foreign dancer in heart of Conrad but he would not dismiss her.
page 18 descrinbesConrad being wise in twcnical matters but very much like a little boy when it comes to solving mtters far simpler.
On19th page Duke Henryk told Conrad to stop living in sin with a Mohammedan[Muslim].
Goes on to say Conrad could not marry her kind of heathenthat is Cicilia.
