Why does Baron Vordenburg's identically titled ancestor firstly come to the conclusion that Mircalla can't be staked because that will condemn her soul to worse than Hell, but then decide years later that he's okay with that?
Reading between the lines of the text the first Baron sounds a bit like an Abhorrent Admirer where Mircalla is concerned, describing himself as a 'passionate and favoured lover' when we know that Mircalla's romantic urges didn't run that way at all. He leaves Styria for Moravia after she died, absolutely desolate with grief. Quite possibly he conceived the idea that all vampires, not just the originator of each nest of Undead, were touched with the same sin of suicide and so condemned to Hell, or even worse given their diabolical hunger. Sparing 'his' beautiful Mircalla that fate might have seemed reasonable, though his method of 'hiding' her body in the same family tomb behind a plaque embossed with her name and family crest seems a bit... yeah. Decades later, after more study of vampirism and, possibly, gaining some maturity, he realised that he'd very much shit-the-bed with that diagnosis, and that his youthful arrogance had probably led to many more innocent lives being lost to Mircalla's curse.
