Imperial Judgement On Pretender Nobility

Imperial Judgement on Pretender Nobility

 

Issued on the 14th of the Sun’s Harvest, 1761

 

By order of His Imperial Majesty, Peter III, those who declare themselves of the House Vilacz or Varoche are henceforth to be baseborn pretenders.

 

For failure to supply their legend in proper and claiming title and blood greater than their personage, these pretenders are charged fifty-thousand minas, ten thousand for each pretender’s head. The alternative to paying this fine is their execution.

 

Through this unilateral ruling of the Emperor, we observe judgement of those who would dare wear crowns when unearned or not inherited, or claim lineages they are vaguely in relation to. Nobility is a status given only by His Imperial Majesty, and through the bodies which he permits to grant it. 

 

Those who would claim some level of blood, crown, name or title or name not befit their de facto status should expect the same judgement, from His Imperial Majesty, and through his precedence, the Imperial Courts as well.

 

Onwards, to Providence!

 

His Grace, Sir John d’Arkent

Duke of Sunholdt, Baron of Selm,

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

The Prince of Vilachia, Duke of Krajia, Margrave of Styria and Lord of Vilacz nods in agreement.

Anna Maria, who previously laughed at her uncle’s chronicle, nods firmly in agreement at the imperial decision. She grew tired of seeing so many people that looked so entirely similar to herself roaming the busy streets of Helena.

“John of nowhere makes a legal judgement on matters that have no basis in law and further tries to legislate provision to force his screed to function as a law, disregarding both the senate and sense itself. Any of those mentioned would be a fool to take this seriously, and twice so if they ever pay such a ludicrous fine. Why have senators voting on laws if all you need is one adulterer with a duchy and a gavel?” A Harrenite whig snorts, fingers curling from the paper in disgust as he feels some apprehension at even holding a document so fundamentally offensive to his sensibilities.

[Enlightenment 2295]

John the Roach Varoche chuckled as he read the judgement, talking to himself as he often did these days, “First the Lorrainians and now me John? I’m sure you’ll pay for your sins someday... but alas, it’s a good thing I left Helena years ago. But do watch yourself, dear cousin, I will remember this gross abuse of power.. as will my family...”

John scratches his chin, 

 

“Not only did I not make this ruling, for it was the Emperor’s ruling that I simply make public on his behalf, but the perpetrators did pay the fine. The Emperor’s word is, of course, law.”

“Get out of my house.” demands Veikko H- as his bedtime legal musing was met with a response from the floor below, goose-down feathers spilling from his padded bedding as he suddenly sits upright in shock.
