Royal justice

Royal justice refers to the legal system historically administered by a monarch or their appointed officials, where the king or queen acted as the ultimate authority in legal matters. It involved the monarch directly or through courts overseeing justice, making judgments, and enforcing laws. Over time, this system evolved into more formalized courts and constitutional frameworks, but it originally symbolized the sovereign’s role in maintaining law and order, ensuring citizens’ rights, and resolving disputes under the authority of the monarchy.
