Hugues stands and speaks to the Herald.

Please give mon Roi my deepest thanks for this honor. Metz will become a bulwark of not only Lorraine but of the realm, with a bit of work of course. With these Germans prancing about, it might be needed sooner than we thought.

Now that the King has bestowed Metz to me, it's time to pass it farther down the line. I hereby name Bertin de Montsault as the first Baron of Metz. While all my vassals are worthy of the honor, he was the first to swear fealty to me, and he fought valiantly in the assault.

Again, my thanks to the King.
