Thus, since no non-Senator in the Kingdom (this was right after King Robert I abdicated), including myself, had two years citizenship, and since a Senator was needed for a quorum in that chamber, the royal authority conferred my barony upon me, making me immediately eligible to help the nation out in its short-handed Senate.None who were willing to serve at the time, anyways. There were a few non-Senators with more than two years citizenship, such as S:reu McGarry and S:reu Asmoûr.
I say this so that the Kingdom is well-aware that although my humble activities on behalf of this nation were kindly cited in my writ of peerage, the fact of the matter is that my barony was awarded more to help resolve a national crisis than to reward me for my efforts. In point of fact, the other peers of our realm should be (and are) more highly regarded for their many more years of Talossanity and their services and dedication to this nation.
From the above, the citizenry can see that Lord Hooligan's title was actually granted due to his incredible sense of humility.
