TO THE REALM OF HAENSE & HUMANITY

I, Viktor Kortrevich, patriarch of the House of Kortrevich, declare posthumously that ‘Ser Ivan Bykov’ be refitted his rightful noble surname of Kortrevich, whereby included his widowed wife, ‘Angelika Bykov’ assume her rightful styling by way of marriage of Bykov-Kortrevich from this day forth till her last. I extend this same decree to Ser Ivan’s children; ‘Nikolaus Otto’, ‘Karolina Eleanora’ and, posthumously to ‘Georg Karl’ for it is their birthright to carry on their father’s name that he had continued to honor for the vast majority of his known life. From this day forward, may they too be refitted their rightful surname of Kortrevich that was relinquished from them thirty-five years ago through the now renounced ‘Writ of Disownment, 1763’.

 

And so I promulgate the following decrees,

• Ser Ivan Bykov shall no longer be known as ‘Ser Ivan Bykov’, for which he shall now be recognized as ‘Ser Ivan Kortrevich of Korstadt’.
• All of his offspring shall, too, no longer be considered illegitimate Kortrevich offspring, for which they shall now be recognized as legitimate Kortrevich offspring with the inherent rights that Haeseni nobility grants.

 

This has been issued for the following reasons;

1. Ser Ivan’s forty-seven year service to Haense.
2. Ser Ivan’s thirty-six years as a Crow Knight.
3. Trained a new generation of Haeseni Knights.
4. Ser Ivan’s establishment of the Royal Haeseni Military Police.
5. Fought in the Ruberni War, Battle of Boom Hill, Scyfling Invasion, Sutica War and the Inferi Invasion. 
6. Covered a retreat during the Field Battle of Reza
7. Pulled Lord Marshal Erwin Barclay from danger at the Siege of Reza
8. Covered the retreat at the first battle of Boom Hill witched saved the life of Prince Nikolas Barbanov
9. Aided in burning the Scyfling fleet at the first battle of Valwyck, carried Mio Mackensen to safety during the retreat of Fort Buck after vowing to not leave any man behind, played an instrumental role in the rescue attempt at Fort Buck, received many permanent wounds that would follow him to death, saved the life of Duchess Isabella Barclay and warded off the bandits
10. Saved the life of his squire during a scouting mission 
11. Earned a total of five awards and medals for his long service
12. Wrote bills protecting and supporting veterans
13. Saved the life of Lord Viktor Kortrevich from a grouping of unidentified bandits.    

 

With great contentment I retain when writing this posthumous decree, I seek to offer a long anticipated public apology to Lady Angelika Bykov-Kortrevich and her children. My decision to declare Ivan’s disownment thirty-five years ago was declared with sufficient reason at the time but, since then Ivan has shown to be in the last decades his insurmountable distinguished service to his Kingdom, to his faith and, to his family. Ser Ivan had helped equip a new generation of knights who too will serve their King and country, Ser Ivan had established the Haeseni Military Police, Ser Ivan had served aptly in a number of wars; Ruberni War, Scyfling Invasion, Sutica War and the Inferi Invasion while also carrying out a great host of noble deeds that has attributed to his distinguished respect of the Haeseni populace. For those reasons alone, I see it to be only right to reacclimate him and his family to their birthright as nobility to which I myself vacated them from, a part of the House of Kortrevich.

 

In addition, on behalf of the House of Kortrevich, I posthumously induct Ser Ivan Kortrevich to be a Castellan of Korstadt - might his distinguished life as a public servant to Godan and Kingdom be remembered and live on through his two surviving children and may we wish Ser Ivan a peaceful ascension to the seven skies where he may rejoice with his loved ones and guide those he left behind to a life of peace and prosperity as they settle on the foreign lands of Almaris.

 

 

Glory to Ser Ivan,  Glory to Kortrevich,  Glory to Haense

HER LADYSHIP,  Lady Angelika Bykov-Kortrevich

"Pathetic. Abandons the man in life; welcomes him in death, to steal a share of his prestige, of course," grumbles Ailred.

[Froschli 837]

Archbishop Alfred raises his brow at Article number seven before remarking to his secretary "Strange. I was the one who pulled him out of that firestorm."

[GoodGuyMatt 7060]

Brandt nodded to Ailred's statement as he'd seem to furrow his brows, his face almost in a bit of a cringing shape "Didn't even wait a bit for the man to settle in his grave properly" he grunted before letting out a huff "Truly a steal of prestige"

[Drew2_dude 2130]

"Ah, da, I must of missed the missive that said when a family reclaims a black sheep that finally found its way, its prestige stealing." Karl Kortrevich would scoff. "Barclays, so damn daft."

"Shoo, shoo, no clout to chase here." Ailred hurries the eavesdropper out of Reinmar.

"Talk ****, get hit." Karl Kortrevich would yell out as he was escorted outside of the Barclay manor, swiftly RKOing Ailred Barclay before getting counted out of the match, not making it back in the ring before the 10 count.

Karl Kortrevich would be banned from ringside for 5-7 Saint's Days for using an illegal maneuver and for gaming with too much power, a single tear would be shed from the God-fearing man.

Brandt blinked a couple times as the Kortevich would be escorted out "How and why the hell do people keep getting in here" he paused a bit with  huff "Next time I'm calling Saint Tylos"
