The Tyranny of Defiliation

 

There stands no edictum or pact to allow the Emperor to bestow patriarchy of a house onto a secondary or tertiary heir, and further no standing laws or edicts granting the emperor power over the filiation and legitimacy of heirs. An illegitimate bastard, as John Vilac was by the right and power of his father declared, holds no right to his father’s, or the patriarch of his claimed family’s, noble titles within the Imperial State, and cannot be regarded in any degree with as the title holder, thus holding no legitimate right to be known by their respective title. To claim a bastard Vilac as both the de facto patriarch of the Vilacz family with the overlordship of his faux-kin that this entails, and to further grant him the rights of his father to the noble titles of the family, is beyond the written laws of the empire and the realm of power of the emperor. The emperor acts in a tyranny beyond his dictatorial imperium by removing any Canon-given sanctity to the GOD-decided primogeniture by dismissing, dissolving and acting beyond the power of the patriarch. 

 

As either a third son or a bastard, the patriarchy of ‘House Vilacz’ would not rest with John Vilac, nor does the emperor have the power to confer this status for the patriarchy is to be the oldest living male in a household, and exercising as such autocratic authority over his extended family. AS the patriarch holds legal privilege and authority over his dependents, the declaration by the emperor to dismiss one patriarch to instill another debases and erodes the de facto power therein by attempting to appoint it de jure.

 

The succession of patriarchy is not in the hands of the emperor, beyond the appointment of titles thereof, as the succession falls to male siblings of the titleholder and their male progeny, to uncles and their male progeny, to great uncles and their male progeny. It is the right of the father to declare lack of filiation, or bastardy, of his children. It is further thus the right of the patriarch of the family to declare lack of filiation, or bastardy, of his kin. The emperor holds power over his subjects, but does not hold power over legitimacy of the kin of his subjects without invoking tyranny and a pointed disregard for his own laws.

 

By these laws of primogeniture, the titleage bestowed upon John Vilac should fall unto his brothers for there is no right of the imperial crown to redistribute the patrimony themselves, and it is affirmed within the Imperial Codes of law that the patrimony follows a strict semi-absolute agnatic primogeniture. It is not the right of the emperor to ignore his own laws for he debases both the affirmation of the Canon as the just governor of humanity and the inviolability of the laws themselves by disregarding them when he sees fit.

 

But, it stands that Vilachia as an unlanded title alone does not need to follow the whim of the emperor in regards to the filiation and bastardry squabbles of John ‘Vilac’ for it is not a title that belongs to these men - this title, as it stands, belongs by right to the directly descended grandchildren of the prince. This further weakens the claim of the faux Vilac for even his legitimacy would not render the title onto him through the right of patrimonial primogeniture, instead providing an equal amount of irrelevancy in delivering the title into the arms of the rightful heirs.

“The Emperor can do as he likes with the titles He and His Crown please, as it is He who bestows upon a LOYAL vassal such titles, not your inbred bloodline’s lack of reasoning.
