Looking at the map and the alteratered borders discussed in Volume 11, I feel like Eglantine could have given Ehrenfest some of Zausengas's territory, instead of giving it all to Klassenberg. I know Sylvester said he didn't need anything beyond walking back on Rozemyne's adoption and marrying Sigiswald, but everything considered, a bit more appreciation than that would have been warrented, even if it was just a small portion of the former duchy, like drawing a straight line between it's Frenbeltag and Klassenberg borders, as a symbolic gesture to the rest of the country.

I bet most duchies will think that it was solely Rozemyne and Dunkelfelger who did everything, while thinking the rest of Ehrenfest didn't do anything and having this false assumption "confirmed" by Ehrenfest not getting any reward for their role in the fight. Sure they only gave rear-line support, but that's still more than literally any other duchy apart from Dunkelfelger and not-yet-Alexandria.
