Description | When 5 years ago, they converted into Orthodox Christianity, their commissioners promised them to pay their rent and their military tax. Unfortunately, nothing happened. Last year, His Beatitude started providing some aid to them, but recently, they heard via the Dragoman that His Beatitude has decided to discontinue this aid, something which they can't bring themselves to believe to be true. They own no land or fields, like the rest of the villagers, and they live in the wild, among wolves; they are in danger of being converted by anyone who would easily take advantage of them. They are kindly asking His Beatitude to give them 25 liras every year for military tax and rent. If he promises to help them, they vow to kiss His Beatitude right hand. |
