Missi dominci

Issi Dominici were officials appointed by the Frankish kings during the Middle Ages to oversee and administer justice in their territories. The term Missi Dominici literally means "envoys of the lord" and they were responsible for ensuring that the laws of the kingdom were being followed, collecting taxes, and reporting back to the king. The Missi Dominici played a crucial role in maintaining law and order in medieval Europe. They traveled throughout their assigned territories, holding court sessions and hearing cases brought before them. They also had the power to investigate corruption among local officials and punish those who violated the law. In addition to their judicial duties, Missi Dominici also acted as ambassadors for the king, negotiating treaties with neighboring kingdoms and resolving disputes between different factions within their own territories.
