Justiciar of North Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Justiciar of North Wales was a legal office concerned with the government of the three counties in north-west Wales created by Edward I of England out of the Kingdom of Gwynedd under the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284. He was responsible for the counties of Anglesey, Caernarfonshire and Merioneth. The criminal law administered was English, but in other matters Welsh law was allowed to continue.[1]
