shire-gerefa

Read a random definition: criminal-court judge

A quick definition of shire-gerefa:

A shire-gerefa is a person who used to be in charge of a large area called a shire. They were like a judge and police officer combined. They made sure people followed the law and held court to punish those who broke it. They were also in charge of smaller areas called hundreds and were like a boss or manager there. Over time, their role changed and they became deputies of the sheriff.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A shire-gerefa is a historical term that refers to the reeve of a shire. The shire-reeve was a high-ranking ministerial officer who had local jurisdiction and served as the chief magistrate of a hundred. The reeve executed process, kept the peace, and enforced the law by holding court within the hundred. The shire-gerefa was also a minor officer serving the Crown at the hundred level, such as a bailiff or deputy-sheriff. Additionally, the shire-gerefa could be an overseer of a manor, parish, or the like.

Examples: In Anglo-Saxon times, the reeve was an independent official, and the hundred-moot was not a preliminary stage to the shire-moot at all. However, after the Conquest, the hundred assembly lost its importance very quickly. Pleas of land were taken from it, and its criminal jurisdiction limited to one of holding suspects in temporary detention. The reeve of the hundred became the deputy of the sheriff, and the chief purpose of holding the hundred court was to enable the sheriff to hold his tourn and to permit a ‘view of frankpledge,’ i.e., an inspection of the person who ought to belong to the frankpledge system.

Another example is the borough reeve, who was the head of an unincorporated municipality in England.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how the role of the shire-gerefa evolved over time and how it was related to other historical terms such as the hundred-moot, the sheriff, and the frankpledge system. The examples also show how the shire-gerefa was a significant figure in local governance and law enforcement in medieval England.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
