This document, written on heavy stock parchment with a lead seal and ribbon, was delivered to the Indrafang's household in Eaglesreach on Guyekoni 14, 997. Careful inspection by Bertie, aka Lady Lynnet Fitzalan, revealed it to be a forgery, and a rather sloppy one at that (reversed seal, incorrect motto, wrong title for Fitzalan, incorrect spelling of Alistair in signature, forged handwriting, improper use of language*).
In the name of the King, may he be ever victorious, and by the hand of Lord Athendale, Sir Fenworth Curran, Royal Chamberlain, I, Justiciar to the Bailiff & to the King, Alistair of Fitzalan, do claim signeurial right and providence in the example of the Mithrandic Knight of the family De Grocie, out of Eastbourne of Kessel as having perpetrated unlawful acts within the King's Royal domains of Clapper Lane and also in Sylvester's Close such as minor acts of murder, bodily violence and nefarious conferences not coterminious with the weal of the realm.
I do hereby order and command, as loyal subjects of right holders in common, that any loyal subjects or noble men and women of birth do hereby deliver this malefactor and any minions with his person to the Lord Mayor of Ramsgate or his representatives. A significant portion of this person would also be sufficient, such as his head.
Therefore as those beholden to the Lords of the King of Eire, I place the council of Eaglereach, Masters and Matrons, under the expectations that these persons of consequence should become our possessions as soon as they are observed.
By my own hand,
Alistare of Fitzalan
Lord of Ruddyland
1st day of the Hot Fair
*Edward writes: "Specifically, seigneural (note the spelling) right describes a lord's entitlement to the cens, or rents, from a piece of land. It was later extended to things like the infamous droits de seigneur, i.e. the Lord's right to consummate a marriage between two of his peasants (nice work, if the woman is a hottie). It has nothing to do with his rights to excercise justice over persons not his villeins: a justiciar would be unlikely to make such a mistake."
