Court of Saint Romulus

The Court of Saint Romulus is the imperial court for the Sovereign of Vionna-Frankenlisch.

All ambassadors and other delegates to the United Kingdom of Vionna-Frankenlisch are formally received by the court, and all ambassadors from the Vionna-Frankenlisch are formally accredited from the King or court, as they are representatives of the monarch rather than the nation.

The Court comprises all members of the Vionna-Frankenlischian nobility and is also the usual forum for the solving disputes amongst said nobility. Other members of the Court include the Imperial Family, high ranked diplomats, and foreign nobles and royals in exile. There are also others who are permitted entry but who may not be considered members of the court.

Members and entrées

The Court of Saint Romulus comprises some thousands of members-by-right, most of whom never attend court more than once. Members-by-courtesy are more often in attendance and some may reside at court. A third group, entrées, are peoples who are permitted to enter court and may even reside there in certain circumstances but do not have any courtly privleges. Some entrées are permitted attendance on the basis of their position, others must obtain the permission of a member. Members rights to invite entrées are limited.
