Kingdom of Courland

ROYAL LETTERS FOR THE COUNTY OF WINDMOR

6th of the Snow's Maiden, 1608

Issued and Confirmed by His Majesty the King Tobias Staunton of Courland.

In recognition of loyal vassalage and service to the Crown, we choose to reward honorable Gared  of House Errmark  with the Count’s title & lands of Windmor, nestled in the eastern reaches of Hanseti-Ruska -  on which his tribe and all northmen alike may choose to settle once again.  It pleases the crown to once again establish a foothold in the North, and allow civilisation to once again flourish in the harshness of the Haensetic tundra. Whilst endowed certain autonomy, all vassals must maintain the King’s peace and follow the laws of his country. The title of Count of Windmor will be one House Errmark and their legitimate issue shall hold the title for the duration of their existence. In return for their loyal service, the Crown does also promise enforce the laws of succession decided upon by the House of Errmark, and protect them from all threats, both domestic and foreign in nature.

With Knowledge Comes Power,

Signed,

Royal Letters for the County of Trier

As decreed and confirmed by His Majesty King Tobias Staunton, Second King of the Courlanders, first of his name.

To all those to whom these letters shall come, let it be known that in this, the year of 1601, His Majesty has seen fit to award his loyal servant, Frederick of the House of Staunton-Baden, the County of Trier, for he has proven himself to be loyal, capable and deserving of the privileges that his new rank affords him, raising Barons and levying taxes upon his vassals. We do enfeoff Frederick Staunton-Baden to the County of Trier, a title they and their legitimate issue shall hold for the duration of their loyal service to the Kingdom. Frederick and his descendents shall be charged with maintaining the law of the realm, and expected to rise to its defence should the time arise. In gratitude for their loyal service, the Crown of Courland promises to protect the rights of succession decided upon by House Staunton-Baden, and defend them against any foreign or domestic threats.
