Crown of the Realm
The Crown of the Realm was a political institution in Sardinia that acted as legislature during Sardinia's Judicates era.
It was made up of the majorales of each region, including the curadores and the majores as well as the local píscamos, and existed to advise the judiches. The majorales were usually either relatives of the judiche or belonged to reliable local families. In essence, it was more-or-less identical to the witenagemot of Anglo-Saxon England in both its composition of officials and its purpose. The Crown nominated the "Deemster King" Judiche, and attributed the supreme power, maintaining the powers to ratify the acts and the laws which regarded the whole realm.
The Supreme Magistrate of the Crown was the "Deemster King" Judiche, although they could be substituted for a curadore or a majore if need be. The moots were in the capital.
The Sardinian word logu literally means "place", but when capitalised it refers to a judicadu. It is derived from Latin locus from Proto-Indo-European *stel-.
