AS YOUNG MINDS GROW, they must be put to purpose, learning of the world and its wonder, of its history and of its workings. As the children of the Archduke & Archduchess have grown older, it has become necessary to seek out the services of a governess, so that the children may be educated properly. Let it be known that the Commonwealth of the Petra seeks a governess, one good of heart, spirit and temperament who would seek to educate the children of the House Temesch of the Petra. Given the number of children requiring an education, should there be demand enough, two governesses shall be hired and taken into service in this capacity by the Archducal family.

 

The duties in question shall be sought for six children in total, six trueborn sons and daughters of the House Temesch of the Petra and its ward. It is requested that any seeking to fill this position send a letter to the Archduchess Magdalena for consideration and to schedule a meeting, during which they shall be interviewed and assessed regarding their suitability for the role in question. 

 

As of the promulgation of this missive, the search and process of interviews shall last two Saint’s Weeks [2/07/2026], during which time all candidates shall be interviewed before a governesses, or governesses shall be announced at the end of this period of time by the Archduchess Magdalena. 

 

It is requested that any prospective governess possesses a solid knowledge of etiquette, faith and piety, geography and the arts, so that a wide breadth of topics may be taught to the children in question. 

 

Any prospective applicants are encouraged to include their age, past experience and reasoning as to why they believe they would prove suitable in their letters to the Archduchess. Those selected shall be afforded lodgings within the Palais Madelaine, alongside compensation in the form of mina, to be discussed and agreed upon between themselves and the Archducal family.
