Who Were The Justiciars?
In the Middle Ages Justiciars were appointed by the rulers of at least seven kingdoms, England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Normandy and Lombardy. They were known as Lagmen in Sweden. A few Justiciars have been verified shortly following the Middle Ages. The emblem of the Order features the Lion of Justice holding the crown and castle. It is anchored by crests of the seven kingdoms. Justiciars were often noblemen, of sterling character who had proven loyal to the monarch. Prime Ministers are the closest modern equivalents of Chief Justiciars.
