Letter Patents for Ivanovich | 1907

[Beamon4 1690]

DUCAL AFFIRMATION FOR

HOUSE IVANOVICH 

9th of Sun's Smile, 1907

 

TO THE DUCHY OF ADRIA,

 

It is the responsibility of the Ducal Coronet to reward its faithful subjects with titles befitting their rank, station, and abilities. As such, we bestow unto Jan Arpad Ivanovich the County of Vaška as well as affirming the County of Pravets, and the Barony of Cherskavy by lawful claim of descent and in recognition of merit. Its associated titles, fee and privileges are to be held as the exclusive and perpetual right of Jan Arpad Ivanovich and his lawful heirs.

 

As any loyal vassal of Adria, the Count receives the right to counsel his liege, and is so entitled to a seat in the Ducal Duma. In turn, we charge Count Ivanovich and his heirs with the upkeep of common and ecclesiastical properties, the maintenance of levies, and the enforcement of laws. His rights, liberty, and property are under the aegis of the Duchy of Adria - and in turn, he is obliged to raise his sword in defense of our sovereignty.

 

May this decision bring glory and prosperity to Adria and may the House of Ivanovich never fail in its duties to our Duchy.

IN NOMINE ADRIAE

 

   His Grace, Heinrik I Sarkozic, Duke of Adria, Count of Veletzia, Baron-Consort of Aldersberg, Protector of the South, Keeper of the Swans

Jan would read over the letters from his tent. The Ivanovich would offer a simple nod, "Godani Jest Wielki." is all he would say before going about his business.
