Law in the absolute royal federation

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The legal system of the absolute royal federation is influenced by civil law to the degree that it is based on laws rather than earlier legal hearings. However despite that so is the legal system also separated from continental Europe in many regards as corporate punishment is used to great deal and amongst fines and time spent in the dungeons so is people often flogged or sentenced to spend time in a pranger alongside their regular punishment. It is very common that large fines accompanies the punishments that are paid twice, once to the victims and once to the crown. The if more than one law is broken so are you sentenced for both which have resulted in very horrible criminals that managed to avoid the death penalty have been sentenced to centuries of jailtime.

Capital punishment is legal and is often preformed by beheading (axe for commoners and a sword for noblemen), drowning, keelhauling or hanging, however so have death by torture been banned according to federal law. Interesting enough so does the law clearly say that no drowning is to take place in Storfloden but do not forbid drowning in any other places. Similarly so is mutilation banned with the exception of beheading and Regicide at which the criminal is post death cut up and the body is sent to various parts of Scandera to be displayed to the public.

The law system is then divided into two categories, federal laws and Realm laws. A federal law or a royal law is signed by the high king himself as such and is universal for the entire federation and take predicament over a realm law. A realm law or vassal law is a law made by the high king and the court or the vassal ruling a realm and is just applicable to a realm in particular. These laws can come in the form of permanent laws issued to deal with specific situations for a realm, they may be permanent to let a occupation government deal with rebellions. Inspirations can come from everywhere as the realm itself, from Scandera or from a native religion like Islam for instance.
