DUCAL LETTERS FOR THE

COUNTY OF SUSA

8th of Sigismund's End, 1913

 

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 confer unto Justinian Basrid the County of Susa, by lawful claim of descent. Its associated titles, fee and privileges are to be held as the exclusive and perpetual right of Count Basrid 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 Basrid  and his heirs with the upkeep of common and ecclesiastical properties, the maintenance of levies, 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 Basrid never fail in its duties to our Duchy.
