The Rochefort Resolution, 1785

[osumanduas 1442]

RESOLUTION OF 1785

10th of Tobias’s Bounty, 1785

 

 

On 10th of Tobias’s Bounty, 1785 the House of Electors gathered in Myre Hall to deliberate over the succession of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Peter III.

 

Presiding: Count Richard Victor, Rochefort.

In attendance: The Governor-General Duke Henry Frederick, Cathalon, Viscount Frederick Ermingard, Pruvia-Albarosa.

Voting in absentia: The Prince-Archbishop, Cardinal Albarosa, Count Oisin O’Rourke, Halstaig, Viscount Riordain MacDrough-Armas, Rillsworth.

 

MOTION OF THE CHAMBER

 

That in lieu of electing a new Kaedreni Monarch, that the House move to dissolve itself and invest itself in H.I.M, Empress Anne Augusta, as a direct constituency of the Empire.

 

ALL IN FAVOUR; 

The Duke of Cathalon, AYE

The Prince-Archbishop of Albarosa, AYE

The Count of Rochefort, AYE

The Count of Halstaig, AYE

The Viscount of Albarosa, AYE

The Viscount of Rillsworth, AYE

 

ALL OPPOSED;

 

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

 

WE DO AFFIRM, the supremacy of the Imperial Crown in the affairs of the Commonwealth and call for a new and stable principle of Responsible Government in the administration of it’s comprised constituency.

 

The resolution of the chamber is a critical consideration, as while the present situation is allowed to progress the continued constituents of the Commonwealth receive in practice no right to the enjoyment of life, no liberty to control their own affairs, and an increasingly limited opportunity for the development of institution and industry. The valley of Cathalon is commonly known as a bounty of natural resource for which there is no greater source; yet with the absence of substantiated representation it’s promise is allowed only a place to perish with St. Catherine it’s tombstone. It is only then as direct citizens of the Empire, that we men and women subsist.

 

Thus we entreat here to Her Imperial Majesty as unflinching Imperial subjects; that the Crown appoint a Viceroy to empower a regional legislature with increased authority to govern local affairs. That the Crown’s chosen Viceroy be responsible together with an assembly of his common man for the purpose of articulating a new constitution to serve for the function of a reformed Commonwealth, and that this leal Viceroy therefore work in conjunction with that local government to, in good time and in good conscience, be ultimately held accountable to said legislature.

 

Signed,

 

Governor-General Henry Frederick Helvets,

Duke of Cathalon

 

Lord-Magnate Richard Victor Helvets,

Count of Rochefort

 

H.E Cardinal Albarosa

Prince-Archbishop of Albarosa

 

The Right Hon. Oisin O’Rourke

Count of Halstaig

 

The Right Hon. Riordain Macdrough-Armas

Viscount of Rillsworth

 

The Right Hon. Frederick Ermingard Pruvia

Viscount of Pruvia-Albarosa

“For once in his life, my twin has done something for Kaedrin, and not just for himself. Well done, Richard.” Margaret Alimar comments to one of her handmaidens after reading the news over her breakfast.

Vittorio Falcone bobbed his head nonchalantly in review of the constitution, offering but a moment of his time before the nature of it grew weary and boring upon himself. ”May the Lord grant this new age for Kaedrin many long years, and allow for it to grow and prosper, as the rose it holds sigil.”
