Decree of Abdication

[Kingdom of Santegia 93]

Decree of Abdication

1682

   

I, Achilius I of the House of Horen, KING OF SANTEGIA, Duke of Savinia and Cascadia, Marqués of Seville and Ponzan, Count of Veldin, Castell and Moncloa, Lord of Biscay, Grand Knight of the Order of the Veldin, Sovereign of the Order of Eminence and the Order of the Golden Steed, having survived the passing of my beloved wife and Queen, Laelia Kastrovat-Horen, and bearing alone the responsibility of rearing the child born of that tragedy, as well as being charged with the noble right of guiding a Kingdom, must, in most earnest, weigh carefully my ability to perform these blessed duties entrusted to me by GOD, and the status of my position.

 

Thus, having both fastigously scoured the depths of being for this truth, and faithfully seeking the will of GOD, I have arrived at what I believe to be the most conscionable decision regarding the fate of both my Kingdom and kin: to abdicate the throne, surrendering the Crown of Santegia, and with it, all entitled rights and realms, to my cousin, HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Aurelius I of the House of Horen—my most accomplished, capable, and trusted heir.

 

Therefore, by the drafting of this Decree of Abdication, I, Achilius I Horen, reigning and rightful KING OF SANTEGIA, do hereby relinquish the Crown of Santegia and all of its territories to HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Aurelius I Horen, EMPEROR OF MAN, effective immediately.

 

The following claims and titles bestowed upon me, HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Achilius I Horen, which I have held and/or acquired throughout my reign as KING OF SANTEGIA shall remain entrusted to me, so that they may be passed to my heir upon my death:

 

Duke of Savinia and Cascadia

Marqués of Seville and Ponzan

Count of Veldin, Castell and Moncloa

Lord of Biscay

Prince of Evereux

Grand Knight of the Order of the Veldin

Sovereign of the Order of Eminence and the Order of the Golden Steed

    AS IT IS WRITTEN, SO TOO IS IT ORDERED: Upon this day, the 23rd of Owyn’s Flame, 1682, before GOD and in witness of all who have signed this document, this decree has come to pass.

 

   

    Signed,

 

    HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Achilius I Horen, KING OF SANTEGIA, Duke of Savinia and Cascadia, Marqués of Seville and Ponzan, Count of Veldin, Castell and Moncloa, Lord of Biscay, Grand Knight of the Order of the Veldin, Sovereign of the Order of Eminence and the Order of the Golden Steed.

   

HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Aurelius I of the House of Horen, EMPEROR OF MAN, King of Renatus, Marna, Mardon, Salvus, Seventis, Savoy, Courland, and Norland, Duke of the Crownlands, Cascadia, Avar, and Frederica, Count of Carolustadt, Alamar, Frederica, Thesmer, Thelen, Lorath, and Cantal, Baron of Darkwood, Gravelhold, Fidei Defensor, Protector of the Heartlanders, Highlanders, Farfolk, etcetera.
