The Anjou Restoration; the Bar Extinction

[The King Of The Moon 7016]

THE RESTORATION OF
HOUSE ASHFORD DE ANJOU;

THE EXTINCTION OF
HOUSE ASHFORD DE BAR

 

---

By GOD’s grace have I been blessed with news from my comely wife of the birth of trueborn triplets.

 

In keeping with my pledge described in THE FORFEITURE OF DRUSCO,these heirs - though born within the sacred bonds of matrimony - are to be DENIED the name of Ashford de Bar, as the issue of its final scion. 

 

Hence do I declare the House of Ashford de Bar descended from Leopold Adrian, Second Count of Cleves, EXTINCT.

 

Hence do I declare the RESTORATION of the House once founded by my ancestor, Robert, First Duke of Drusco and First Count of Cleves, before the burden of Bar fell upon his shoulders.

Usque ad die Auspitii, robur in passione invenimus.
 

In its style shall we be known hence,

PATRIARCH Leopold de Anjou, Baron of Cleves (formerly Leopold de Bar).
and
CONSORT Mailor de Anjou, Baroness-Consort of Cleves (formerly Mailor de Bar).

And so shall our heirs shall carry the names, Renault Ashford de Anjou, Ghislain Ashford de Anjou, Richard Baldwin Ashford de Anjou and Sibylla Fausta Ashford de Anjou.

 

May the name be carried by my sons, and any future sons, by absolute agnatic primogeniture, and by my daughter, and any future daughters, until her wedding day.

AS AEVOS CRUMBLES and the threat of ‘the Mountain’ grows, my wife shall return to her native Aeldin, bringing with her these Anjou successors until such a time they might safely rejoin the diaspora of Aegis upon safer shores.

Penned and Signed,

Leopold Ashford de Anjou,

Baron of Cleves.
