High Sheriff of County Cork
The High Sheriff of County Cork was the Sovereign's judicial representative in County Cork . Initially an office for lifetime, assigned by the Sovereign, the High Sheriff became an annual appointment following the Provisions of Oxford in 1258.[ 1] [ 2]
The first (High) Shrievalties were established before the Norman Conquest in 1066 and date back to Saxon times.[ 3] Order in Council made the Lord-Lieutenant the Sovereign's prime representative in a county and reduced the High Sheriff's precedence.[ 4] [ 2]
