...But the fact that the character was willing to go to the lengths  
of presenting forged documents to prove one claim ought to cast a  
cloud on all his other claims, as well.

Perhaps, but that price should not, as you seem to feel, include  
having everyone believe the ruler is a despot and the government  
horribly corrupt just because he chooses to honour his promise to  
another character that they have first choice of the region.

Yes, claims should make you think twice about giving the region to  
someone else--but it's foolish to say that no one without a claim  
should be appointed by a good, honourable ruler.
