[size=+1]Letter to noble Senators from President of the Imperial Senate[/size]
It is with great sorrow that I share with you, noble Senators, deeply saddening news of unexpected death of doux Maximos Komnenos who died on 8th December 6987 AM at the venerable age of 88. Like many Komnenoi before him he served the Imperium faithfully, as a member of the Imperial Council, Prefect of the City or President of the Imperial Senate. He was a noble and gentle man, a good servant of the Throne and caring uncle of my father, megas domestikos Demetrios Komnenos.
His Imperial Majesty, the Sacred Emperor Markos III Angelos, basileus basileon by the Grace of God, king of kings and rulers of rulers, Caesar Augustus of the Romaioi and all Men, Autokrator of the Holy Church and Protector of the Christendom, in his great wisdom decided to nominate me, his humble servant, to the position of the President of the Imperial Senate. This is a great honor to me and my House. I can only hope to carry out duties of this office with as much dedication as my great-uncle did.
May the blessing of Saint Markos be upon all of us.
Signed,
Michael Komnenos
President of the Imperial Senate
