DUCAL LETTERS FOR THE

BARONY OF MONTEREINE.

In the year 651 of the Age of Ascension.

☩

TO THE CITIZENS OF THE DUCHY OF ADRIA,

It is the responsibility of the Ducal Coronet to reward its faithful subjects with titles befitting their rank, station, and abilities. As such, we confer unto Castille Fontaine the Barony of Montereine in recognition of extraordinary merit. Its associated titles, fee and privileges are to be held as the exclusive and perpetual right of Castile Fontaine and his lawful heirs.

As any loyal vassal of Adria, the Baron receives the right to counsel his liege, and is so entitled to a seat in the Ducal Duma. In turn, we charge Baron Fontaine and his heirs with the upkeep of common and ecclesiastical properties, the maintenance of levies, and the enforcement of laws. His rights, liberty, and property are under the aegis of the Duchy of Adria - and in turn, he is obliged to raise his sword in defense of our sovereignty.

May this decision bring glory and prosperity to Adria and may the House of Fontaine never fail in its duties to our Duchy. 

His Grace, Zygmunt Euler, Duke of Adria, Count of Eulersburg & Defender of Dumacracy
