It went like this,the Senate chooses the Emperors.The Emperors have complete power in the Imperial Provinces.The Senate picks governors of the Senatorial Provinces.The emperors can decide if they want to have a vote on Senatorial Status in an Imperial Province.The Senate must agree to this.The Emperors can propose more Senate-Caesar Compromises.The O'Reillys are the heredity governors of Breifne.In 893,the Senate accepted.

Effects[]
