Justiciar of North Wales

Justiciar of North Wales

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. [R. R. DAvies, "The Age of Conquest: Wales 1063-1415" (Oxford University Press, 2000 edn), chapter 14.]
