DEATHS

 

Tenure:  Peacefully, at home, after a long illness bravely borne, at midnight 27 November 2004, Feudal (Feudalism), in approximately his 881st year (birth never registered and all documentation lost).  Sadly missed by a wide circle of conveyancers, title raiders and barons, who found Feudalism a lucrative source of status and revenue throughout his long and utile life.  The body has been donated to the National Archives and the Registers of Scotland for the furtherance of legal-historical research.  A memorial service will be held at Scone Abbey, near Feudalism’s supposed birth-place, at either Whit or Martinmas, to which all superiors and vassals are warmly invited.  Donations for a monument in the form of a pyramid topped with a crown, to be erected at Holyrood, where Feudalism’s last rites were performed, may be sent to the Queen’s and Lord Treasurer’s Remembrancer, Crown Office, Edinburgh.  An elegant obituary by Professor George Gretton may be found in the pages of the November 2004 issue of the Journal of the Law Society of Scotland.
