General Summary
Treasurer Denise:
The elderly Baroness Frederica, a cousin times removed of Baron Nunder One, died in her sleep last week. She was nearly ninety, would you believe!King Calimaco Bladesong:
And why are you telling me this?Treasurer Denise:
Baron Nunder One:...She was very wealthy, Your Majesty.
But she could have spent more time on her accounts. She died without a will, and the Nobles are scrabbling for her estate.
Baroness Frederica was my relative. I wrote to her at least once a year! Of course the estate should be mine.Grandee Doc Anjo:
My late great-grandfather used to play backgammon with her. He swore she intended to leave it to our family!Baron Nunder One:
By the Ninth, that's a pitiful claim!The Council
Result | Whose claim to the estate is legitimate? |
---|---|
Nay | Give the estate to Baron Nunder One. |
Yea | Give the estate to Grandee Doc Anjo. |
Nay | Redistribute the estate amongst the Marcher peasants. |
Nay | Claim the estate for the Treasury. |
Baron Nunder One shakes his head, muttering with his friends about favouritism in The Council.
But Grandee Doc Anjo and the other Grandees of the South are delighted. They even send the Monarch and Treasurer a gift basket as a a token of their appreciation.
King Calimaco Bladesong trusts the situation is resolved.
