MATEUSZ, by the Grace of God, Exilic Duke of the Adrians, Count of Aldersberg, Lord of Beznov, and Protector of Dumacracy.  To all to whom these presents shall come, Greeting.

 

Whereas We, of Our especial grace, certain knowledge, and mere motion, being desirous for the better governance and prosperity of Our realm, and in just recognition of the faithful and dutiful service rendered unto Us and Our predecessors by the noble House of Vladov, do hereby elevate and advance the said House to the dignity, state, and degree of Baron of Our Exilic Duchy of the Adrians, and do name and create Our trusty and well-beloved Tatjana Vladovic as Baroness of Woldzmir, to have, hold, and enjoy the said dignity unto herself and her lawful heirs, forevermore. 

 

And further know ye, that We, of Our ducal authority, do grant and assign unto the said Baroness and her heirs the rights and privileges pertaining to the Barony of Woldzmir, which shall be held as a titular dignity, without landed domain, in perpetuation of noble honor and distinction within Our Duchy.

 

And We do further will and ordain that the said Baroness of Woldzmir, and her lawful heirs after her, shall hold, possess, and exercise all rights, liberties, and privileges befitting her station, and shall in perpetuity be entitled to bear the name and honors of her rank, and to take her place among the peerage of Adria, all in accordance with the laws and customs of Our Duchy of Adria.

 

And We do moreover charge and command the said Baroness and her heirs, that they shall be bound in fealty to the Ducal Coronet of the Adrians, rendering due homage, service, and allegiance in times of war and peace; that they shall uphold the dignity of their house and the honor of the realm; and that they shall ever stand as loyal and true vassals within the councils of the Exilic Duma, to lend their wisdom and strength to the governance of Our realm.

 

And for the greater assurance of all and singular these grants and dignities, We have caused these Our Letters to be made patent and sealed with Our Great Seal, to be entered into the annals of Our Duchy and held in the firmest force of law.

 

Given under Our Seal at Our ducal seat of Castle Aldersberg, on the 17th of Owyn’s Flame, in the Year of Our Duchy 61, and in the 9th Year of Our Reign.

SO SPOKEN UNDER MY SEAL, AND BY MY HAND,

HIS GRACE, Mateusz of the House Sarkozic, Exilic Duke of the Adrians, Count of Aldersberg, Lord of Beznov, and Protector of Dumacracy.
