After long years of harsh taxes from a merciless Duke, the people of the Duke's lands conspired against him.

Creating a large quantity of scrolls announcing the Duke's revolt against the King, the people distributed the scrolls, one of which eventually came to the attention of the King.

Upon confronting the Duke, the King's examiners found the Duke had been pilfering far more than his share of the King's taxes for a considerable amount of time.

The Duke was hung soon after.
