Chapter 293 Parliament of Nobles (1)
Frank City, Parliament of Nobles, Chamber.
The interior of this building is a circular staircase structure. Directly opposite the gate is the king's position. There are seats on more than a dozen steps, and behind it is the huge emblem of the kingdom. On both sides are seats for members of parliament, the higher the title, the closer to the center. Flags embroidered with their family emblems hang on the wall behind. The speaker's seat is in the middle, with a loudspeaker array.
Only nobles with the title of earl and hereditary honorary marquis or above are eligible to become members of the parliament. However, the former are at ease in their own territories. Who has the leisure to travel to the capital to attend the meeting.
In fact, this organization mainly provides decent positions to those families whose ancestors were particularly good and now are not doing well. After all, there aren't many things for them to discuss throughout the year. Even if they are, there are rules to follow, just go through the procedures and vote.
However, because the Marquis of Stuart recently submitted an application for promotion to the Duke, this group of idlers finally found something to do and had to come to meetings every day to express their opinions.
The disputes are mainly about two points. The first point is whether the land transfer agreement that has been signed but not actually transferred belongs to the existing territory. The second point is whether the land belonging to two countries can be counted as meeting the promotion standards.
Since the founding of the continental countries, no real duke has appeared. When the "Continental Convention" and the "Nobles Convention" were signed, they did not consider so much, so there are no relevant regulations for these. Since there is no precedent to follow, it needs to be left to the noble council for discussion and decision. In this case, it will take a long time.
Even at this time, some noble councilors had regarded refuting the other party as their purpose, and the issue of the promotion of Marquis Stewart had long gone astray.
King Louis was very troubled, because although the king did not need to attend such an important meeting every time, he had to come every once in a while. It was a waste of time to sit up and watch the people below having meaningless arguments.
An attendant came in, first saluted King Louis who was sitting at the head, and then walked to the host to report: "Marquis Brady Golden, Lord Pierre Legrand of Stewart is here. Yes, we need to submit an application for territorial division.”
After hearing this, Hereditary Honorary Marquis Brady Golden approached the loudspeaker array and said: "Your Majesty the King, Lord Pierre Legrand of the Stewart Territory is here and wants to submit an application for territorial division."
King Louis was sitting and making trouble. When he heard this, he immediately ordered: "Call him in."
After a while, Lord Pierre Legrand walked into the venue accompanied by Jules Weber, a seventh-order knight.
"Salute to you, Your Majesty the King."
The two first saluted and greeted King Louis, and then saluted and greeted other nobles.
Marquis Golden said: "Lord Legrand, please explain your purpose of coming."
Lord Pierre Legrand took a small wooden box from Knight Jules Weber, opened it and revealed several rolls of parchment inside, and said: "Your Majesty the King, distinguished gentlemen, my lords , Marquis Christian Stewart won the war against the Earl of Nantes, and now that an armistice agreement has been signed, I am here to submit an application for territorial division on behalf of the Marquis."
Marquis Golden took out the parchment document from the small wooden box and looked at it briefly, then summoned an attendant next to him to have him read it in front of the public. The noble councilors present talked too much and too little. If you look at them one by one, you don't have so much time. This attendant is specialized in doing this, with a loud voice and clear enunciation.
Any land transfer, reward, transaction, etc. for more than one village must be submitted to the Capital Noble Council. It is legal only after approval and the issuance of a land deed. Of course, this is just a process, because such agreements have been notarized by the priests of the God of Order, so how could the noble council not approve it.
The Earl of Nantes, his direct relatives, and many of his collateral relatives died in the war, and a distant collateral descendant inherited the title of Earl of Nantes. All the members present knew this, because the succession to the title also required approval from the Capital Nobles Council.
But they only learned about the specific outcome of the negotiations between the Marquis of Stewart and the new Earl of Nantes today. The content of the armistice agreement was very simple, that is, the Earl of Nantes surrendered unconditionally, and all the land in the Nantes Territory was compensated to the Marquis of Stewart, leaving only three villages in other countries.
This result is normal. The new Earl of Nantes was just a small businessman before. The reason why he was able to inherit the title was because all the people who were qualified to inherit before him died. If he agrees to this armistice request, he can still get three foreign villages. If he doesn't agree, it won't be his turn to inherit the title alive.
In addition to the application for territorial division, there are also copies of the armistice agreement and land change agreements between the Stewart Territory and the Barony of Laval, the Barony of Le Mans, the Viscounty of Angers, and the Barony of Chauying. Kristen was not in a hurry, and submitted it all at once after everything was resolved this time.
After the attendant read out the document, the hereditary honorary Marquis of Golden looked at the superior King Louis and asked: "Your Majesty, what do you think about the Marquis of Stewart's application for the division of territory?"
King Louis said: "If there is no problem, just deal with it as usual."
The hereditary honorary Marquis Golden bowed slightly and said: "Yes."
Then he followed the procedure and asked: "Gentlemen here, do you have any opinions?"
Everyone said they had no objections and would just handle it as usual. The transfer of land in one village and the transfer of land in a hundred villages are the same process, and naturally there will be officials responsible for the specific work to handle it.
King Louis cleared his throat, and everyone immediately sat up and looked over.
"Everyone, since the Noble Council has approved the Marquis of Stewart's application for territorial division, once the procedures are completed, the entire Loire County except for the Barony of Nazaire will belong to her. I think that whether the Marquis of Stewart is eligible for promotion to the Duke The issue does not need to be discussed any further.”
Noble members below, you look at me and I look at you. Although it is a pity that there has been no debate over who is right and who is wrong for so long, since this is the case and the king has spoken again, most of them acquiesce.
However, there were some stubborn ones. An old hereditary honorary marquis stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the criterion for canonizing a duke is to have the territory of at least two counties. Although the Marquis of Stewart has obtained most of the land in the Loire County, there is still less land. It’s an area the size of the Barony of Nazaire.”
King Louis felt disgusted when he saw the old marquis. He was a stubborn old man and insisted that the two counties of the duke must be in the same country. He had some doubts. It was because the debate in the noble council reached the ears of Marquis Stewart that she caused such a big thing.
