While I would not have used the potentially inflamatory medium of the i-net
to pursue your inquiry, I am curious what Black Diamond's Baronial Charter
says on the subject of votes, baronial curia, duties of officers?  Sacred
Stone Charter has commentary on the amount of money the barony spends and
under what conditions but does not include a specific veto power beyond that
of curia.

As a former landed baron, I would resent the use of "coronet's whim" when
addressing my concern over LARGE expenditures of my barony's limited
resources.
