Reginald Rusebek was charged with treason & murder in February 1719. He was said to be embezzling crown funds and was found to have murdered a group of halfling traders who discovered his embezzlement. His family (three children, a sister and brother-in-law, two nieces, a niece-in-law, and his wife) was never found to be complicit, but there were suspicions from some of the halflings that his nephew and daughter were involved in at least the cover-up.
At least partially to appease the halflings, the whole family was declared unable to inherit, and the Rusebeks mostly ended up leaving Sembara for Maseau.
In the summer of 1720, during the trial of Isabeau D’Aslain for necromancy and treason, significant evidence came to light suggesting that in fact, Reginald was framed for these crimes, and he true crime was being suspicious of Isabeau. Despite this, the Rusebeks remained settled in Maseau and did not sue to reclaim their legitimacy.
