Magister Decisions
These are incoming issues appealed to the Magister.
| Requester | Request | Decision |
| Josef ben Gavrel, Autocrat | Louis, a sometime fisherman of Melverley, has been Censured and amerced (fined) 5d (5 pence) by the Autocrat for failure to engage in a useful trade as per the village laws for the past season. Witnesses have been sworn to God and offered testimony of this fact, as well as the fact that he spends much of his time in a drunken stupour.
He has not been given leave by the Council, nor is he retired, and so must be engaged in a useful trade. The Autocrat has suggested other occupations if he does not wish to continue being a fisherman. Louis has rejected the authority of the Autocrat due to his faith by refusing to pay the amercement (fine) or engage in useful work. The Autocrat has further Censured Louis and ordered his expulsion under the laws of the village. Louis, once again, rejects the authority of the Autocrat due to his faith and refuses to leave his assigned house. The Autocrat prays for relief from the Magister and begs for guidance or for the Magister to deal with Louis himself. Barring action from the Magister or the Council, the Autocrat will be forced to resort to using the Turb to eject Louis from the village and to keep him out, which may anger the primarily Christian fisherman villagers. |
Geoffroy held court to hear Louis's excuse for himself. A friend of Louis, named Matthew, explained that Louis was depressed as a result of the loss of his sister's and her family due to Welsh-English border raids to the south. Louis had promised his mother on her deathbed to watch after his sister. Taking pity on him, Geoffroy ordered Louis to the covenant-run hospital for recovery. He ruled that should he stay there for at least one season, his fine will be negated. Matthew promised to escort him to the hospital. |
