Their<br>> Excellencies begged the boon of some time in order to settle Their<br>> affairs before they proceeded, and Their Majesties granted Their<br>> Excellencies leave to hold Their Final Baronial Court.<br>> <br>> Their Majesties then summoned Baron Thomas Byron of Haverford and<br>> Baroness Ariella of Thornbury to attend Them. As they had completed<br>> their business and settled their reign, Their Majesties asked them if<br>> they were now ready to relinquish their control of the Barony back to<br>> the kingdom. Their Majesties then removed the coronets of the<br>> Territorial Baron and Baroness of the Barony-Marche of the Debatable<br>> Lands from their heads and released them from their bonds of fealty to<br>> the Crown, Kingdom and People of the Debatable Lands as Territorial<br>> Baron and Baroness.<br>> <br>> At this time, Sir Maghnus an Chnoic na n’Iora came forth and begged a<br>> boon of Their Majesties. Five years prior Sir Maghnus had taken his<br>> squire belts back from Byron and Ariella so that they could sit the<br>> baronial thrones without owing allegiance to any man. And on this day<br>> he asked if they would once more wear his red belts about their<br>> waists. Both Byron and Ariella replied that they would gladly return<br>> as Sir Maghnus’ squires and swore to him their fealty.<br>> <br>> Their Majesties now found that They lacked a Baron and Baroness for<br>> Their Barony, and so They called upon The Honorable Lady Hilderun<br>> Hugelmann, Debatable Lands Seneschal, and Master William de Montegilt,<br>> Aethelmearc Seneschal, to advise Them upon what to do in this case.<br>> Hilda presented William and Their Majesties with proof that The<br>> Debatable Lands had held an election in accordance with all relevant<br>> laws and policies, that the populace had voted to remain a barony and<br>> that the election had produced heirs. Her Ladyship Hilda then<br>> presented a petition signed by the officers and members of the barony<br>> which did ask Their Majesties to Invest THLord Liam mac an Tsaoir and<br>> THLady Constance Glyn Dwr as the seventh Baron and Baroness. Master<br>> William after scrutinizing the documents did affirm that all was in<br>> order and in accordance with the policies governing baronial<br>> succession.<br>> <br>> Their Majesties, after careful consideration of the evidence, did call<br>> forth THLord Liam mac an Tsaoir and THLady Constance Glyn Dwr to<br>> attend Them. As they approached the dais they returned their belts of<br>> fealty, Liam returned his Squire belt to Sir Alonzio of the<br>> Peaceamakers, and Constance returned her protégé belt to Mistress<br>> Alexandra dei Campagnella. Their Majesties spoke to them that law had<br>> been followed and that the populace of the Debatable Lands had spoken.<br>> They questioned Liam and Constance if it was their will and intent to<br>> take up the burdens of the coronets of the Debatable Lands. They<br>> replied that it was so, and Their Majesties invested Liam and<br>> Constance as Seventh Baron and Baroness of the Barony-Marche of the<br>> Debatable Lands, and received their oaths of fealty to the Crown and<br>> Kingdom of Aethelmearc, and witnessed their oath to the Populace of<br>> the Barony.

These two gentles had spread their contagion<br>> unto the masses and wherever they went those who came in contact were<br>> infected with merriment and gentility.
