Court of King's Bench

The Court of King's Bench was a historic English court that primarily handled serious criminal cases, disputes involving the monarch’s authority, and civil matters like appeals. It originated in medieval times and was a high-level court with judges appointed by the king. Its decisions influenced the development of English law and it played a key role in maintaining royal authority. Over time, its functions were absorbed into other courts, but historically, it served as a central authority for overseeing the rule of law in England.
