Duchy of Martilles: Difference between revisions

Line 142:

Martilles' political traditions were strongly influenced by the {{wp|Cistercians}} who became the leading order in the duchy, and the {{wp|Protestant work ethic}} in the colonies. The duchy was therefore known for its consistent and proficient pursuit of economic prosperity, increasing legitimacy, and the expansion of its colonial enterprise. The duchy's political framework prioritized the cultivation of robust trade networks, the establishment of thriving colonies, and the promotion of economic growth and development within its [[Levantia|Levantine]] territories. This emphasis on economic prosperity and colonial expansion fostered a culture of entrepreneurialism, innovation, and commercial enterprise building on the that propelled Martilles to the forefront of global trade and commerce during its heyday.

The Duke was supported in his administration of the duchy by the ''Retinue Quoitident'', the advisors that helped the the daily matters of the duchy. They including trusted nobles, military commanders, financial experts, and diplomatic envoys from the [[Holy See]] the [[Emperor of the Levantines|Imperial court]] and key allies and trading partners. They met daily and discussed the matters of state from 8:00 until lunch. Then the Duke would take lunch with the advisors he wanted to discuss matters of immediate importance with and then he would hold court with the public from 2:00 until dinner. Some of the most important roles in the duchy were the scribes, a bevy of {{wp|Cisternian}} monks who were always buzzing around transcribing the comings and goings, the tax collectors, and the clergy. The Duke of Martilles and the Archbishop of the archdiocese of Maloria were often working in concert but when they were at odds it was often the bishops and priests who were caught on the middle of their intrigue.

The duchy was divided into 12 counties and 2 bishoprics. These Counts and prince-bishops helped to enact the policies of the duke and to enforce the taxes as well as to raise the fee of their feif, at this point mostly {{wp|scutage}} rather then {{wp|knight-service}}.
