BY PROCLAMATION OF THE REGENT,

 

            Earlier this Saint’s Day, our beloved Archduke passed away unto the Seven Skies. It is by his last will and testament, with the unsealing being witnessed by Ser Thomas of Balamena and Dame Irene of Mardon, that Dame Catherine of Furnestock has been declared the Princess-Regent of our Republic.

 

As per the succession laws of our realm, Renilde Helena of the Petra is to assume her father’s titles and the mantle of Archduchess of the Commonwealth of the Petra effective immediately. Her younger brother, Alexander Salvian of the Petra, is to be named next in the line of succession as per the Edict of 1893.

 

Dame Catherine is to serve as the legal guardian to the young Archduchess and her siblings until the passing of their sixteenth birthdays. After the Archduchess comes of age, the Regency shall be dissolved and the Archduchess of the Petra shall assume her full constitutional duties.

 

May our beloved Archduke find peace and rest in God’s loving arms, and his legacy be enshrined forever in the chronicles of our Republic.
