presented his to Lord Marcos Baltanos…who already had a coin. So Lord
Marcos presented his coin to Don Niccolo Loredan de Venezia, who,
thankfully, did not have a coin already.

hear and know the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands for a welcoming
environment.

Finally, Their Excellencies asked all scribes, wordsmiths, and
regalia-makers to come forward for a token of appreciation for all they do.

There being no further business, the Court of Their Excellencies was closed.
