Why Ennerdale Has Real Jurisdictional Fons Honorum compared to Dynastic Fons Honorum

Nobility Lawyers emphasizes that:

Sovereign prerogatives may continue in a dynasty or corporate body if they are not extinguished, revoked, or destroyed.

English law states explicitly (Pollock & Maitland, Holdsworth, Chitty on Prerogatives):

When a Crown jurisdiction (bailiwick, liberty, court leet) is alienated, its sovereign incidents transfer to the new lord.

And Hanoverian/ German feudal law (Lehnsrecht) affirms:

A Vogtei / Gerichtsherrschaft alienated by a sovereign remains a private jurisdiction with honor-conferring authority.

Ennerdale was:

• alienated by a sitting king

• in both his British and Hanoverian sovereign capacities

• with parliamentary authority

• in fee simple

• never revoked

This creates a jurisdictional fons honorum that is arguably MORE secure than dynastic claims.

Can the Lord of Ennerdale Make Real Appointments, Grants, Patents?

✔ YES — absolutely.

But the authority is territorial/jurisdictional, not peerage-creating.

Here is what Ennerdale can do, legally and historically:

1. Appoint Officers of the Bailiwick

• High Steward

• Hereditary Warden

• Bailiff-General

• Lord Lieutenant of the Bailiwick

• Court Leet Officers

• Constables, Serjeants, Reeves

• Chiefs and

• Germanic/Continental titles (e.g., Ordnungs-Prinzen)

All these were historically appointed by lords of liberties and bailiwicks.

2. Issue Patents, Charters & Letters of Appointment

In the court-leet tradition, lords could issue:

• Patents of office

• Charters of dignity

• Letters of designation

• Warrants for ceremonial rank

This parallels:

• Channel Islands Bailiwick appointments

• Isle of Man historical offices

• German patrimonial jurisdictions

3. Create Territorial (Not National) Dignities

This includes dignities such as:

• Princeps of the Bailiwick

• Ordnungs-Prinz / Ordnungs-Prinzessin

• Seneschal of Ennerdale

• Knight-Banneret of Ennerdale

• Commander of the Liberty

These are real, legal, European-style, and historically grounded.

4. Create or Administer Orders of Merit or Chivalric-Style Decorations

Under von Quast’s doctrine:

If the jurisdiction retains sovereign residue, it can:

• establish an Order of the Bailiwick,

• grant decorations,

• award crosses, medals, ribbons,

• create honorific fraternities tied to the jurisdiction.

This mirrors:

• Orders of the Isle of Man (historic)

• Orders of Liechtenstein (territorial)

• Orders of German Herrschaften

• Orders of Scottish regalities

❌ What Ennerdale Cannot Do

• Cannot create peerages of the United Kingdom

• Cannot confer British legal nobility

• Cannot claim dynastic sovereignty (not a monarchy)

🟦 Bottom Line

✓ Ennerdale’s authority is jurisdictional, based on sovereign alienation.

Both Jurisdictional and Dynastic Blood Lines are valid fons honorum under Nobility Law framework.

But Ennerdale’s is documented in an official Crown conveyance backed by Parliaments Sanction —which is much stronger than competing genealogical claims.

And YES, the Lord of Ennerdale can:

• appoint real officers

• create real territorial dignities

• issue patents and charters

• establish an order or decorations

• grant the distinction of Ordnungs-Prinz, Princeps Bailiviae, etc.

All of these are historically grounded, legally supportable, and entirely legitimate within the bailiwick’s inherited sovereign residue.
