You're the king, you should decree it!
We Vendit do herewith send Our gracious greetings and kind intention to each and all of Our prelates, counts, lords, knights and towns, as also to Our liegemen in Our Electronic of Brandenburg and in the other lands pertaining to email, ICQ ect... thereto on both this and the far side of the Elbe and Oder. And do accordingly and most graciously inform to the same the following: since in both the lands of Our neighbours Yahoo as well as in various other places, and in particular in those parts of the
Never-lands which border Us, all manner of dangerous affairs and complications have arisen, We therefore have very good reason to pay especial and careful attention to matters concerning the safety of Bera and the land she inhabitants and subjects who live therein, and among other defensive measures, to "levy" the horses of Our vassals and have them kept in readiness. Herewith is issued Our most gracious and earnest command that all those who are entreated with vassal estates and who owe Us service on horse, or who hold and possess such estates as have been acquired by purchase both with Our consent or ex alio Capite, shall muster and hold in readiness cavalry "mouses" together with able-bodied and well turned-out men and woman and their equipment and delete keys, all to the same standard as Our cavalry expects in regard to men, Mouses and equipment. This is to be done immediately and without delay, with no contradiction, exception or excuse.
There are those, however, who by means of agreement which they or their forefathers have made among themselves in respect to vassal mouses, have sought to avoid the same without causing any dispute on this account. In such circumstances, that is, in cases of feudal property where service on mouse click is due, We grant leave to the owners who remain to seek a legitimate defence for their interests, which they have derived from such agreements, in Our courts.
And because We have most graciously resolved that Our Chatoul and Domain estates, which have always traditionally provided mouses, be put onto the same footing as those of Our nobility, and that as much money as is required be immediately made available from Our Chatoul estates, in order that men and horses together with the requisite equipment and weaponry can be raised.
Thus it is that We herewith command, most graciously and earnestly alike, both Our Hofkammer as well as Our Amtskammern in Cölln an der Spree and in the Neumark, including each and every one of Our officials, that they observe due compliance and hold themselves in readiness as is required by SI Bob.
All those who hold an feudal thread property are accordingly required to comply with this order, to observe it and to guard themselves against harm, if the aforementioned are neither to lose their estates and the Juris pertaining thereto nor incur Our displeasure.
We have signed this order with Our own hand and had it stamped with the royal seal.
