The Court of Queen Anne

The Court of Queen Anne was a specialized court in early 18th-century England, primarily responsible for handling matters related to the monarchy, royal estates, and privileges. It operated under the authority of Queen Anne and was part of the broader royal judiciary system. Its functions included managing issues like titles, patents, and certain legal disputes involving the Crown. Unlike common courts that dealt with general civil or criminal cases, this court focused on matters directly linked to royal rights and interests, serving as a vital institution in maintaining the monarch's authority and protecting royal privileges during her reign.
