The fact that the kings were often absent from England, and that the justiciarship was held by great nobles or churchmen, made this office of an importance which at times threatened to overshadow that of the Crown.
The origin of the justiciarship is thus given by Stubbs (ibid.
Under such a system the justiciarship practically ceased to exist.
He resigned the justiciarship in 1179, though pressed by the king to continue in office, and retired to Lesues Abbey in Kent, which he had founded and where he died.
He was at the head of the curia regis, which was separating itself into the three historical courts of common law about the time when the justiciarship was falling from the supreme place.
The responsibility of the justiciarship was at the same time divided between Bishop Hugh of Durham and the Earl of Essex, who, however, shortly died, and in his place was appointed William Longchamp.
That the justiciarshipwas at this time as well defined an office, or as regularly recognized a part of the state machinery, as it came to be later, is hardly likely.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "justiciarship" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
