15d. Frana’s Will

[141/26] This was Frana’s last will:^[1]

All good Fryas, hail!

In the name of Wralda, of Frya, and of freedom, I greet you, and urge you: If I should fall before I have named a successor, I recommend Tuntia, who is burgmaid at the burg Medeasblik. At present, [142] she is the best.

Sandbach 1876

[p.193] Thus runs Frana's last will: All noble Frisians, Heil! In the name of Wr-alda, of Frya, and of Freedom, I greet you; and pray you if I die before I have named a successor, then I recommend to you Teuntja, who is Burgtmaagd in the citadel of Medeasblik; till now she is the best.

Notes

↑ This will may well have been forged, as Adelbrost wrote (ch. 12, [087/25]): “The last mother [i.e., Frana] had never mentioned a favorite and there was no trace of her will.” Tuntia was Adela’s favorite (see ch. 1b, [004/05] and ch. 13b, [091/20]).
