Jurisdictions of Haense

[Vanir 693]

Penned by His Excellency, Lyov II Brackish, Lord Justicar of the Kingdom of Haense

 

Jurisdictions of  the Kingdom of Haense

Drafted on the 6th of Malin's Welcome, 1670

 

To ensure that the Judiciary of the Kingdom of Haense runs at maximum efficiency, the Lord Justicar has seen fit to divide the Kingdom of Haense into various jurisdictions, inside of which the rule of law shall be maintained by an appointed levy or militant force. These appointed forces shall enforce the newly published Haensetian Criminal Code, and are granted the power to deal out punishments prescribed in the HCC. Levy/militant forces are only granted these powers inside their own jurisdictions. Should a constable observe a crime being committed outside of their territory, they are granted temporary jurisdiction until the appropriate judicial forces arrive.

 

The jurisdictions of the Kingdom of Haense are as follows:

 

1. The City of Markev and surrounding farmlands: Jurisdiction of The Hearthguard 
2. County of Metterden: Jurisdiction of House Ruthern
3. Margrave of Vasiland, the waters of Haense: Jurisdiction of House Vanir
4. Barony of Ihirion: Jurisdiction of House Enthelor
5. Barony of Voron: Jurisdiction of House Baruch

 

Any lands not mentioned above are to be policed by any available levies, until such a time that a constabulary force is established by the Lord Justicar. The Lord Justicar and his personal agents hold jurisdiction all throughout the Kingdom.

 

GOD save the King, GOD save Haense!

[Archbishop 1784]

"If only the guard force would uphold the law instead of selective enforcement." commented Marcus.
