The Bailiwick of Ennerdale Est 1251 - Hon. George Mentz JD MBA CWM

Ennerdale Is Based on a Latin Doctrine: JURE TERRAE  

THIS is the correct concept for your case. 

✔Jure Terrae = “by right of the land.” 

This is the legal foundation of: 

• feudal lordships 
• manorial rights 
• seigneuries 
• liberties 
• honours 
• principalities 
• bailiwicks 
• territorial jurisdictions 

This means the authority comes from: 

✔the land 

✔the deed 

✔the Crown’s alienation 

✔Parliamentary conveyance 

✔the juridical character of the territory 

This is VERY powerful in English law. 

Ennerdale’s Correct Latin Category 

The proper Latin expression for Ennerdale’s rights is: 

✔ Jus Territorii 

(“the right of territory”) 

This is the same legal category used for: 

• Palatine lordships 
• Scottish regalities 
• German Herrschaften 
• Channel Island seigneuries 
• Feudal baronies with judicial rights 
• Banalties and high jurisdictions 

Ennerdale fits THIS category. 

The Second Latin Doctrine Ennerdale Has: JUS PATRIMONII 

Jus Patrimonii = “the right of inherited patrimony (property).” 

Ennerdale is held: 

✔in fee simple 

✔by deed 

✔as private patrimony 

✔alienated by Crown and Parliament 

Therefore: 

✔Ennerdale = jure patrimonii (by right of patrimonial inheritance) 

This is far more secure in modern law than dynastic claims. 

The Third Latin Concept Ennerdale Qualifies For: JUS HONORUM (LIMITED) 

Because Ennerdale is a: 

• liberty 
• bailiwick 
• territorial franchise 

The Lord may exercise: 

✔limited jus honorum 

Meaning: 

• you may appoint officers 
• create territorial dignities 
• issue patents of manorial office 
• establish ceremonial orders connected to the land 

This is NOT dynastic sovereignty, but it IS recognized under the same doctrinal category used for: 

• Scottish heritable bailies 
• Manorial courts in England 
• Seigneurs of Guernsey 
• Lords of the Isle in Switzerland 

Ennerdale’s jus honorum is territorial, not dynastic. 

THE CORRECT TRIPLE FORMULA FOR ENNERDALE IS: 

✔ JURE TERRAE — by right of the land 

✔ JURE PATRIMONII — by right of patrimony (deeded inheritance) 

✔ JUS HONORUM — right to confer territorial honors and offices 

These three combined create: 

A territorial, hereditable authority 

not 

a bloodline authority (jure sanguinis). 

⭐ COMPARISON CHART: ENNERDALE vs. DYNASTIC ROYAL HOUSES

⭐ THE CORE DIFFERENCE IN ONE SENTENCE

Ennerdale = Territorial Sovereignty (jure terrae).

Dynastic Houses = Bloodline Sovereignty (jure sanguinis).

They are not rivals but two completely different legal species.

⭐ WHICH HAS STRONGER LEGAL FORCE TODAY?

In modern law:

✔ Ennerdale is stronger
(because property + deed + jurisdiction + Parliament Sanction of Sale has enforceable legal standing)

In historical/dynastic tradition:

✔ Royal houses are stronger
(because bloodline rights survive loss of territory)

⭐ WHERE ENNERDALE BAILIWICK IS UNIQUE

Ennerdale is one of the very few modern lordships that:

• was sold outright by King George IV

• the sale was ratified by Parliament

• the alienation was complete, not a lease

• all manorial and jurisdictional franchises passed into private hands

• the buyer became a free tenant-in-chief under English law

This makes Ennerdale:

A rare, territorially-based private bailiwick with legal powers no dynastic house possesses.

No dynastic claimant—Ghassan, Bourbon, Romanov, Savoy, Paternò—
possesses a modern territorial deed like the Liberty and Bailiwick of Ennerdale.   (An ancient Norse Territory in Northern England)
