The Monarchy of Great Nortend, commonly known as the Nortish or Erbonian Monarchy, is the semi-constitutional monarchy of the Kingdom of Nortend, Cardoby and Hambria. The current Monarch and Sovereign Lord of the Kingdom is Alexander II, who acceded to the throne on April 30th, 2003, upon the death of his mother, Catherine II.
Origins
The origins of the Erbonian monarchy of Nortend, Cardoby and Hambria lie in the separate Kingdom of Nortend and Cardoby, and the Kingdom of Hambria, which were united in the Acts of Cleaving in the 18th century.
The former kingdom arose from the kingdoms of the Nords, Sexers and Cardes, who were Arlethic tribes from Lorecia who settled in the regions of the Isles of Erbonia in the 3rd to 4th centuries. Despite the rise of up to ten smaller kingdoms, under successive kings the Kingdom of the Nords managed to conquer and claim rule over the entire region.
The Kingdom of Hambria originated in the much older Ethlorek peoples in the modern-day region of Hambria, known as the Hoes. Though they were numerous small tribes, they grew to recognise the Cothen tribe as superior and thereby established the Kingdom of Cothen, which later became known as the Kingdom of Hambria.
Constitutional role
The Crown is the legal embodiment of the Kingdom as a nation or state, with the Sovereign from time to time as the physical and temporal manifestation of the institution. The Sovereign's image represents the sovereignty of the Great Nortend, and thus is depicted on coins of the official currency of the Realm, the pound marten, appears on stamps issued by the General Post Office, and hangs in all Government buildings and schools across the country.
The Crown wields all legislative, executive, military, investigative and judicial power over his Realm. Great Nortend is in theory an absolute monarchy subject only to the laws of God. In practice, however, kings upon their coronation swear oaths to limit the exercise of their power. Furthermore, they delegate their temporal powers to the officials of their Curia Regis: legislative powers to their High Court of the Parliament, executive powers to their Privy Council and their Ministers, military powers to their Armed Forces, investigative powers to his Crown Inquisitors, and judicial powers to their judges.
To an extent, however, the Sovereign remains deeply involved with the operations of the country when he desires. Declining to grant Assentus Regis to bills presented by the Parliament is not uncommon, and the Sovereign has on many previous occasions directly ordered executive action by his own mere motion or determined particular judicial cases by his own person.
Liegeance is the paramount consideration under the uncodified constitutional practice of Great Nortend.[1] It forms the legal and moral relationship between God, the Sovereign and the subject, where subjects bear “faith and troth” unto the Sovereign and the Sovereign acts as God's viceregent with the duty to protect his subjects. Crimes are wrongs against the Crown's peace, and thus are punishable by the Crown in its criminal courts. Wrongs against fellow subjects are wrongs against those protected by the Crown and thus determinable by the Crown in the common courts.
Religious role
The Sovereign is by the Statute of Supremacy, 12 Alex. II, within his Realms the “Supreme Governour of the Church Mundane” and “Vicar of Christ” as temporal head of the Church of Nortend and viceregent of God. Since Hartmold the Great's coronation in 756, nearly every king or queen of Nortend and Cardoby has been crowned in a Christian coronation under the auspices of the Church, almost always being anointed with holy oil and invested with the symbols of the kingly office. Despite the similarities of the coronation rite with a clerical ordination, the Sovereign is not a clerk in holy orders. Some authorities, such as the Cardinal Dr. Shevensole, Lord Archbishop of Sulthey from 1734 to 1759, have suggested that the Sovereign is a minor cleric, on par with a sub-deacon, as evidenced by his serving as sub-deacon at the coronation mass.[2] However, this has been disputed by other theologians.[who?]
As Supreme Governour of the Church, the Sovereign's approval is necessary for the installation of the Lord Archbishop of Sulthey and his institution as Primate of the Church in Great Nortend. The Sovereign also issues writs for the incardination of cardinals, and appoints all other archbishops and bishops as “Fathers in God”. In 2,352 parishes, the Sovereign retains the right of advowson to present priests to the diocesan bishop for appointment to the curacy of souls. The Sovereign is also head of the ecclesiastical judicial hierarchy.
