In the SCA the agreements of one Crown may or may not be honoured by another...
anything not written into law is edict...which lasts only the reign
in which it is declared and no further unless upheld by a subsequent Crown

Back in the day...you would have to acquire a letter of marque (and maintian it)
from each administration...and usually with competing parties...(ie...France and England and
Spain...)
