Re: Conseil du Royaume
A herald steps in front of the King's dais. He raises a parchment at the level of his head and slowly unrolls it. Waiting until the Conseil room is ushed, he then speaks in clear and loud voice.
"By the will of Philippe, King of the Franks,
En reconnaissance of his vassals' efforts in bringing down the enemies of France, His Majesty King Philippe hereby endows :
To the House of Bretagne, the castle of Angers, a poor compensation for the loss of Robert Bouchart;
To the House of Aquitaine, the castle of Bordeaux, again a poor compensation for the loss of a valiant vassal;
To the House of Bourgogne, the castle of Bern, for the support of the House in the wars;
To the House of Lorraine, the castle of Staufen, as reward to Senechal Hugues de Champagne, for the tremendous work done during his term;
After consultation with the Royal lawyers, His Majesty announces that the castles of Pamplona and Valencia and the city of London do not meet the legal requirements to be considered ratified and will need to be in the coming Session of the Conseil.
His Majesty further announces that the castle of Nottingham and the cities of York and Nuremburg are to remain in the King's Demesne. His Majesty wishes to thank the Senechal for his efforts in taking the latter but feels it may be essential in negotiating a truce with our Imperial neighbours.
L'an de Grâce 1110,
Sealed with the King's Seal
Par la Grâce de Dieu,
Philippe
Roi des Francs
