Thank you for the extension honorable God, for I, your faithful bishop, had been busy as of late ((RL busy)).

As I mentioned. No Duke has a direct claim to the lands of Mide. As also mentioned the fief is under the nominal authority of the Pope, and by delegation, of me. As I also mention, the best way to settle this dispute cordially is to verify who is the most pious of all Dukes, and in return for his devotion to the God and to the Holy Father, I may relinquish the lands of Mide in the name of the Pope and entrust it to the care of one Duke.
