Barony of the Rhydderich Hael - Kingdom of AEthelmearc

Unto Their Imperial Majesties, Magnus Tindal and Etain, does Their servant, Padraig O'Branduibh, send greetings and good will. Pleaseth Your most excellent Majesties to understand that, whereas, at sundry times heretofore, Your subjects gather to decide who they wish to wear the coronets of the Barony of the Rhydderich Hael. This past June, your nobles and commons did gather and give rise to a vote and did select, before all others, Magnus de Lyons and Miriel du Lac as successors to Carolus and Isolda, Baron and Baroness of the Rhydderich Hael. A petition, thereupon hath been made to Your Imperial Majesties, that this will of Your Barony might be examined and determinded by the holy law and policy of Your lands. To testify to Your Majesties by my writing, that which I have before promised by my word and will and by the word and will of those Your subjects here undersigned, most humbly beseeching Your Majesties to comfort Your Barony and place the dragon coronets upon the heads of Magus and Miriel. Thus, most gracious Majesties, I beseech you long life and good health.
From Padraig, Seneschal of the Barony of the Rhydderich Hael, the XX day of December, in the 50th year of the Society.
