Duchy of Franconia

[Privateerkev]

OOC to Kag: I'm sorry. Part of my confusion was in mid-reading the punctuation in the sentence about Jan's dad and the Duke. There is a period where there should be a comma.

IC: Jonas, Hedewigis von Saxony married Wikerus von Franken in 1262. Here is the Chancellor Report on the matter:

As to Ansehelm's letter...

It is sad to see our Duke get so many things wrong at once. He has mistaken an innocent question to a wise man as some sort of power play. I have no intention, nor wish, to become Duke. I am doing something far more important right now. I never have claimed to be "the most important thing in the Reich". This is a title Ansehelm has given me for some reason when all I do is serve. I might be fairly new to politics but I seem to have infinitely more politically savyness than our good Duke. Ansehelm continues to undermine his own people in public. All family matters should be kept in here or in letters. His political ineptitude led to the death of edict 11.6. If I am a pain, it is only to Duke Ansehelm and not to the House. He does not like it when someone speaks truth to power. But, that is my job and duty and I will not be silenced. I am happy though that Ansehelm has named Peter to be his heir until a child comes of age. I only ask that Ansehelm says this in public in the Diet to make it official. Its nice to see the Duke being responsible for once.

Jan drinks some beer.

As for coming back here for good, there seems to be little for me here. And there is much to do in Outremer. I will stay there as long as I am needed.
