The Kingdom of Renatus holds vast territory, with many diverse peoples owing fealty to His Royal Majesty the King, Aurelius Horen. Throughout the years, many lords and ladies have sworn to the Horen scion, adding their armies to the Renatian horde, and finding peace through service. These various folks together comprise the Renatian nation – from Adria to Ostmark, they collectively form the heartland of humanity.

 

Law and logic assert these men and women as subjects of the Renatian crown. They therefore, quite naturally, assist one another. The Renatian armies defend her people; her people, in turn, offer tax and levy to the crown. It is a trade off – a feudal hierarchy. Some of the Renatian vassals themselves have vassals. Just as the leaders of the more powerful fiefdoms were awarded land and office by the King, so to do they offer land and office to subservient lords and ladies. The feudal hierarchy is as follows.

Various documents exist which notate and reinforce this subject status. Usually these exist as letters patent, royal letters, or other letters from the King or his Council which notate the privileges and expectations offered to individuals and in future their progeny. Copies of these exist in various legal libraries in the capital, and naturally each person awarded such a letter would maintain copies, so as to secure their rights were it to be taken to court, or challenged in any other way. These letters would serve as documentation of the feudal hierarchy. [Copies of any are linked above; click the name of a vassal.] 

 

However, at times there would be land awards without such letters or documentation, or other documents would exist, such as the Adrian Proclamation. These vassals would merely swear a verbal oath to their liege lord, and begin their service without such regalia. Whether or not such a documented award was given, it is clear that those enfeoffed with land and titulage owed service to the crown, and would be expected to maintain justice, law, and order in their lands. In exchange for privilege and esteem, they are required to rally a levy, pay taxes, et cetera. Renatian vassals are expected to do as follows.

 

  • Rally as a singular entity, calling forth all their levy and banners.
  • Allow the crown to negotiate foreign policy.
  • Maintain law and order in their subject territories.
  • Negotiate and pay taxes to the King.
  • Uphold the lawful orders of the crown always.
