In the year of our Lord, MARCH 15, 550 Last week my father passed from this world to heaven. While his death still haunts my dreams, I decided to go through his most precious belongings. I cannot bear to live with so many reminders of his life. As I was sorting through his storage chest, I came across an old book. The pages were yellowed with age and written in a language of which I knew not. I took the book to the local priest. He knew the words on the pages as ancient Latin, a language reserved for The Holy Bible. The priest translated the words and to my surprise it belonged to an ancestor of mine whom departed this life nearly 200 years ago. I decided to keep the diary and record the events of my life. This is my first entry.... When father was still alive, he brought his family over to the kingdom of Germany from Constantinople. father fought bravely in the army and was knighted immediately after the war was over. We chose to live under the command of King Ralph, father of Prince Peter. Father decided to name the town that we govern Mespelbrunn. There is a river to get our water. There is a forest to protect us. Good rich soil for farming. People with good spirits. What more can one need? It was like paradise. The colors on our coat of arms, blue and green, represent Truth, Hope, Joy, Loyalty, and Love. The Lion represents Dauntless, Courageous. The Deer represents peace. The Eagle represents Person of noble nature, strength, bravery, and alertness; leadership. The quote: “Servi Dei et Patri” means “Servant to God and Country. Prince Peter and I had always been friends, He may be the lord of this land, but he's still a kid at heart. His father, now King Ralph, spends most of his time visiting land to land. |
